Message from Portsmouth fans is loud and clear - bring back Ben Thompson from Millwall
After The News revealed that the former Fratton favourite has dropped down the pecking order at Milwall – at a time when the Blues are looking to bolster their midfield options – supporters took to social media to make their feelings on the matter known.
And the overriding opinion was: any move for the player would be most welcome.

However, that hasn’t stopped Pompey fans dreaming of a reunion with the talented 24-year-old who impressed so many during the first half of the 2018-19 season and said he would never rule out a PO4 return.
Some have even suggested they’d be willing to back manager Kenny Jackett if such a move were to materialise! A major u-turn indeed in this current ciimate!

Marlon Neil: Thompson would be one of the few players that could gain Jackett a lifeline. The lads far too good for league 1.
Shawn Woodward: Is the type of player we need some 1 alongside Naylor who can drive forward pick a pass and support the front 4.
Sonny Flack: No chance but would be class if it happened.
Daniel Seymour: If he is available and open to a return, its a no brainer, but with the wage cap is it affordable to do?
