Liking this back four tonight so good to see. Like Jack/Raggett combo, new RB was impressive. Good hard working team. Happy bunny, well done lads

If Pompey get to the Trophy final, which we are clearly going to, can we have this season's and last season's finals on the same day? Would save a lot of bother.

Solid all around performance by @Pompey. Two great goals by @MarcusHarness and a clean sheet for @macgillivray93. Onwards to the league this Saturday. #pompey

Satisfactory night's work for #Pompey on @talksport2 two-goal Harness the star man, Curtis probing as ever and not a popular opinion but @MrDavidConnolly and me were both impressed with Sean Raggett.

A win is a win and after 20 minutes or so Pompey didn’t seem to be troubled - same again in the league please - onwards & upwards

@RussellRussjm

#Pompey have picked up from where we left off after the second half at Stevenage with ball- to-feet and quicker interplay! new boys @cam_pring & @callumjohnson96 giving us another dimension and looking like they’ve been in the side for some time. Jack is definitely back! Good team win.

Good strong defensive performance by Pompey. Whatmough and Raggett looked good together. Two new full backs look like an improvement, we just need that elusive no.10 player to top the side off #Pompey #portsmouthfc #EFLTrophy
