Do you agree with how Blues writer Jordan Cross rates the performances of John Mousinho’s squad, as he pause for the international break?
17. Zak Swanson - 7
No one has ever disputed Swanson's talent and potential, but has now established himself as a Championship operator as he builds on the questions answered last season. Been sound going in both directions. Photo: Simon Roe
18. Andre Dozzell -8
What a start with midfielder established now as first midfielder on the team-sheet. High points were displays against Preston and Southampto, but also strong against Norwich and consistent the whole way through. Right at the top of Pompey's best performers Photo: Graham Hunt
19. Jacob Farrell - 5
Looked like an invigorated figure in pre-season, but it's been impossible trying to get past Connor Ogilvie. Looked rusty and defensively suspect against Reading while a threat going forward. Too small a body of work to form a fair judgement, however. Photo: Simon Roe
20. Josh Murphy 7
More of the Murphy we've come to expect in four games so far, but it's been more about what Pompey haven't had amid fitness issues and current ankle problems. A lot hangs on his return after the international break. | Manjit Narotra/ProSportsImages
