Pompey fans on social media have been reacting to the Blues’ 2-1 win against Oxford United at Fratton Park.

A ‘wall of noise’ from all four sides of PO4 rang out as John Mousinho’s side maintained their seven-point lead at the top of League One.

That was understandable as Pompey moved another important step closer to a return to the Championship. It was also instigated as substitute Christian Saydee saved his first league goal of the season until the 67th-minute of today’s fixture to fire home Pompey’s winner.

Here’s a selection of the Blues views shared on X, formerly Twitter, as the Blues showed battling qualities to overcome the U's.

@TheChief657: Scrappy, not at our best. But 3 points in the bag and that's all that matters.

@markallaway: Brilliant to get the win, so important and big mental boost. So pleased for Saydee, not many in this squad who haven't had a significant contribution this year! 

@Roderz_125: Huge win! 10 to go!!

@phil72pfc: That’s a massive win. Great to see Saydee get his goal, well taken. The fans saw us over the line. Great Wall of noise at the end.

@pompeypod: Well played the 12th man - that noise was massive in getting us over the line.

@Samalaaarr: Brilliant win. Thought Oxford were good, can count themselves unlucky. Been waiting for that moment for Saydee since the first game of the season. 10 to go.

@mark11s: Sign of a good team is winning when you don’t really deserve it.
