'Good performance, no complaints... play like that more and we'll get promotion' - Portsmouth fans react to FA Cup defeat at Bristol City

Kenny Jackett’s side can fell disappointed to exit the competition at the third-round stage after impressing at Ashton Gate.

Famara Diedhiou put the hosts in front on 20 minutes.

But after Callum Johnson equalised on the stroke of half-time, it was Pompey who looked favourites to go on and book a place in the fourth round.

Yet, it wasn’t to be, with Chris Martin scoring a winner on 83 minutes against the run of play.

Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to the result…

@PompeyDurham: Good performance, no complaints with that result. We held our own against a Championship side.

@chimer1898: Well done Pompey matched up well against a good Championship side. Now we can focus on the priority - promotion!

@jimmyjimmy11: Pompey played really well in that 2nd half. Unlucky to go out.

@richraymond84: Plenty of positives to take from it and with the potential fixture congestion in the league dropping out of the cup isn't the worst thing for me.

@LewPeet: Great performance. For the first time under Kenny I believe that we are the best team in League One. Now let’s win it.

@wayneharrispfc: Great save at the end to deny Jordy and its over for Pompey.

Very good 2nd half from us but no cigar. Martins finish the difference. No complaints.

This level of performance on a consistent basis and we'll be in the championship next season.

@benboylin: We play like that for the rest of the season we’ll go up simple as that!

@RyanNash1994: Pompey were fantastic today especially second half.. we probably deserved to win great 2nd goal from Bristol City but they boys can be proud Pompey definitely the better team today!

@CoreyLFHoness: No disappointment after that performance.

Held our own against a Championship side looking to get into the play-offs.

Please like that for the rest of the season and we will go up!
