@ryanlewis79: Bloody brilliant performance from them all. Tough conditions but for 85 mins we were by far the better side. Play like that and we’ll be fine. Bishop is like a new signing for us. Poole back to his best too.

@RO8s: Tell you something, sportsfans - we've taken eight points from the last six games. Starting at the bottom of the table, you have to go up to Millwall in 11th to beat that. I reckon we're going to be hard to beat from here on.

@deanprobert89: Team looks so much better with Bish up top. The rest of them look like they’re playing with belief.

@84Knight: Brilliant performance. Amazing what having a proper striker playing can do for the whole team.

@mark11s: Really good today. Could have been more.

@LukeEllisPUP: The mood in football can so quickly change. Please keep this up, Bishop makes a hell of a difference to this side.

@peckham65Grant: We have started to play good football. Different team to the first 10 or 11 games, and having Colby Bishop fit has lifted the whole team.

@LeeroyTmof49167: Jumped on the players a month or so ago, assumed we were doomed, and am now quite happy to eat a big slice of humble pie. If Pompey keep playing like that, we will not go down. Absolute credit to the players the management, and our city.

@phil72pfc: It’s been coming. That was so comfortable it felt like we had gone back to,last season ! The goal scorers all rear today but strong team performance. Annoyed by Lang kicking the ball away and getting a yellow but hey three points are all I wanted and got so much more today.

@Nio62487226: Bishop is so important to that team. Best performance of the season, no question about that.
