Cruise control for the League One title hero, who looked calm and composed as he linked with Regan Poole for the second night in succession. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
6. Jacob Farrell 6
Aussie is looking an impressive athlete both in pre-season training and games. Clearly detailed to overlap at every opportunity, with a fascinating tussle with Connor Ogilvie ahead. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
7. Zak Swanson 7
Intriguing change of role for the full-back after being deployed as a midfield pivot for the second night in succession. Grabbed the first-half goal with some very tidy feet and a cool finish. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
8. Fraser Thomas 8
Can be really proud with his showing, after stepping up to senior level. Produced some really eye-catching moments including a driving run and involvement for Swanson’s goal. | Portsmouth FC Photo: Portsmouth FC
