'Putting in call to T-shirt printers... Kenny's turned it around' - Portsmouth fans react to 2-0 win at Hull
The 2-0 victory at the KCOM Stadium has allowed Kenny Jackett’s side to leapfrog the previous leaders in the standings – where they will remain until Christmas at least – and put down a marker which the rest of the division will take notice of.
It’s the first time in 23 months that Pompey have occupied the leading position in the division – and the Fratton faithful are clearly loving the feeling.

@JakeAlfordPFC: Great result that.
Some good individual performances. Marquis, Cannon, Naylor, Rasmus all decent.
Up the blues.
@RyanCovey1: Cor, if you had offered me 10 points from the last 4 games against promotion rivals, 4 clean sheets and top of the league at Christmas, I’d have laughed in your face!
Kenny’s turned it around and I take my hat off to the bloke! Up the blues.
@Mourby: Top of the league for Christmas, what a great win.
