@pn_jordan_cross: Clear signs of progress but that’s two points dropped against a Charlton side ripe for the picking. #Pompey

@Butler16Henry: Overall enjoyed the game as got to celebrate two very good goals, shame missed chances and a couple of defensive mistakes cost us in what was an overall decent performance where we deserved to win. #Pompey

@PORTSMOUTHFCLEE Soon he will start burying a load! In big John we trust

@pompey183 He’s the league one Benjani gives everything defends from front line gets assists but he needs one to go in off his backside to get some confidence in him

@jamesfrowen: Remember when Benjani signed and everyone got behind him even though he was missing chances?? Shame we can’t be like that again with new signings. Especially ones when we’re in League One #pompey

@capfc11: Our defence was solid but we lacked creativity, now we are creating plenty but our defence is shaky!! Definitely miss Robertson at the heart of our defence, Freeman and Williams get done for pace far to easily! Keep playing the way we are and the results will pick up #Pompey
