But the Pompey boss was pleased with what he saw from his men as things shape up for the new campaign.

He said: ‘It was a good game for us and definitely the most questions we’ve been asked in pre-season.

‘The intensity of the game was much higher and it was great to have supporters back.

‘We’ve had three tests against Championship sides, and this was the biggest of those.
