Here’s how Blues writer Jordan Cross saw the performances of Danny Cowley’s men at Brisbane Road.
5. Connor Ogilvie - 8
Pompey's unlikely goal machine! Ogilvie's bullet header took his total to the season to three and capped a robust and impressive display in which he stood firm against Rovers' physicality. Photo: National World
6. Owen Dale - 8
What a classy addition the winger is proving. A constant thorn in the side of Bristol Rovers with his bright running and tenacity. Adds real quality to his side and maiden goal capped a fine display. Photo: NationalWorld
7. Marlon Pack - 7
Did what Marlon Pack does. Kept the ball mixed economical passing with a long-range stuff impressively. Is now the key man for setting Pompey's tempo. Photo: NationalWorld
8. Louis Thompson - 6
Late lunge from Glenn Whelan curtailed the midfielder's afternoon and we're all now keeping our fingers crossed the news over his injury isn't as bad as it appears it could be. Photo: NationalWorld
