9. Michael Jacobs - 8
(82 mins Harvey Laidlaw) - Not the irresistible display against Villa, but still a goal and assist from a big player for Pompey when fit. Photo: Jason Brown
10. Reeco Hackett - 8
Two goals yet knows he should have had a hat-trick. Goals continuing to flow for in-form attacker, this time up front. Photo: Jason Brown
11. Joe Pigott - 7
Led the line intelligently and precious match minutes for a player who always tends to impress. Photo: Jason Brown
12. Brian Quarm - 7
