It’s now 20 wins and five draws from his 28 appearances this term, with the defender’s form accelerating all the time.

Despite that, Raggett has dealt with some criticism this term, but his detractors were drowned out on Saturday by those appreciating his efforts.

The 26-year-old brushed off the views of any doubters with focus purely on doing all he can to help Pompey to success.

He said: ‘I feel like I’m doing better in every game I play.

‘I just want to keep playing and continue to improve.
