@BlueArmyAlex: It’s a shame that our best team only played consecutively for 2 games in a row.

I really do hope we retain Raggett, Thompson, Jacobs and Hirst. We could properly build something here.

@JamiePFC: Winning the league next season then?

@Joey1989118: Great result just shame its too late. Pup

@HarvMarksy: Special night at Fratton. What a turnaround. Danny Cowley that is a taster of what this place will be like next season if you get us flying.

George Hirst’s turnaround here is remarkable. What a bloke.

@JoesCynicalSelf: WHAT A COMEBACK!!

@joshrbirchall: It may be too late for our play-off charge; but what a comeback against one of the top 2…

SIGN GEORGE HIRST UP!

@Jack_Norris11: Danny Cowley masterclass that.

@Buttyyyyyyy: Too little too late but still, you love to see it.

@84Knight: Couldn’t bear the thought of Whatmough and Naylor celebrating promotion at Fratton Park after being a part of so many disappointing seasons with us.

@debojono: How good does it feel.
