We lost to be fair but what poor sportsmanship from @ftfc wasting time, fighting with @Pompey players to waste even more time, and the bench getting involved, we lost fair enough but your team and management are a disgrace to football.

@mlgreeenfield

That’s football Michael not a great game by any stretch but I think we marginally deserved the points.

Great win for @ftfc today against a @Pompey that where a completely different side that we played in the fa cup. Harness wasn’t up for it today and showed with the rest of the team. When he plays well Pompey do. Win Tuesday and think I will start drinking the playoff juice too

Nothing against the #FTFC fans or their club, but I couldn't watch that every week. Diving, Timewasting, Pretending to be injured, and causing rows to waste time. Awful.

@The_Lubberwort

Hardly model behaviour from Portsmouth either. More fouls racked up, constantly pushing Madden about (Once into the stands), time-wasting in the first half. Pot kettle, black springs to mind.

Dear Kenneth - John Marquis is not an attacking midfield player or number 10. He has never played there, never had success there, has none of the qualities required for the position as hes proved on numerous occasions in front of your eyes. Please stop! #pompey

Pompey lose away to promotion rivals again. Rarely good on road. Only my view , but won wrong game this week.

@IanDarke

If only we had a natural goal scorer in our squad who can score with barely a half chance...... someone like that to come off the bench today would’ve been a huge boost (takes cover) #pompey

@LukeEllisPUP

We won't go up, we'll lose to Peterborough in the play offs, win the EFL Trophy against Salford and bow out gracefully against Arsenal in the FA Cup. Too many games and not good enough away from home #Pompey

@JSweetman92

Have to chuckle at #pompey fans who reckon we are trying to avoid promotion at the owners request when the reality is we are simply not good enough anyway #conspiracytheories
