Here’s how Blues writer Jordan Cross assessed the performances of John Mousinho’s men, after their second warm-up game in quick succession.
9. Andre Dozzell 6
Economic on the ball and then put in the graft to lead the press in the moments it dropped off in first half | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
10. Beau Mullins 7
Academy lad swam as he stepped up to senior level. Graft for 45 minutes was nearly rewarded with a goal, as he broke through before his effort was blocked. | Portsmouth FC Photo: Portsmouth FC
11. Paddy Lane 7
Looking an improved physical presence in pre-season after a decent showing at Woking. Followed that up with another steady effort, ripping run angled drive just over. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
12. Chinedu Agu 7
Academy lad is a handful and produced one of the best first-half moments with backheel for Swanson’s goal. Didn’t look overawed leading the line. | Jason Brown/ProSportsImages
