Took no prisoners on his Pompey bow with some forceful challenges, which sometimes strayed the wrong side of the law. Pretty efficient on the ball and clearly the brightest of the debut boys. Photo: xx

Brought the energy but frustrating to watch at times as he over-elaborated too often to the detriment of Pompey’s attacks. Photo: Portsmouth FC

Took the fight to Reading - the one Pompey player to do so in the first half, as he put in a succession of dangerous balls from the right. Kept the industry up after the break and was probably pick of the Pompey players. Photo: Simon Roe

Toiled up front as Aussie was swallowed up by Reading defence. Wasn’t found wanting for graft, but was feeding on scraps before being replaced by Bianchini. | Steve Bailey/ProSportsImages
