Do you agree with how Blues writer Jordan Cross rates the performances of John Mousinho’s squad, as he pause for the international break?
9. John Swift - 6
One of the hardest players to mark. Has started all but one game which shows his value, largely in a double pivot role which is not where he has played most of career. Level has fluctuated quite significantly, even in game, but worth remembering Swift is often taking on the high-tariff moves trying to craft attacks over the low-risk contributions. Photo: Simon Roe
10. Colby Bishop 5
It's been tough going at times for the Magic Man this season, no doubt. Just the single goal so far from nine outings which is an obvious issue. The honest graft leading the line has been there, but the key man has also been swallowed up by powerful opposing defences, too. Missed penalty against Norwich was costly. Been a victim of Josh Murphy's injury and a general downturn in supply. One thing's for sure though, write Colby Bishop off at your peril. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
11. Adrian Segecic - 8
What a revelation! The Sydney cyclone has energised Pompey's attacking options with his energy, returning three goals to date amid a number of high-tempo performances. Will be interesting to see whether it's on the right or as a 10 where he operates moving forward with Conor Chaplin now in the building. Photo: Dan Istitene
12. Florian Bianchini 5
Started four games so far and had a fair amount of involvement, but hasn't hit the heights Swansea loanee is capable of, winning the penalty and an assist against Norwich his best moments amid four starts and three sub appearances to date. Photo: Alun Roberts
