A young Pompey fan has sent a brilliant letter to promotion-rivals Wycombe ahead of the League One play-offs.

Nine-year-old Jacob told of his love for the Chairboys as the 1-0 defeat at Adams Park earlier in September was his first Blues away day.

But Jacob stopped short of predicting Gareth Ainsworth’s men would reach the Championship.

He reckons Pompey and Wycombe will overcome Oxford and Fleetwood in their respective semi-finals.

But Jacob has forecast a 3-2 win for Kenny Jackett’s side at Wembley – with Ronan Curtis to notch a double and John Marquis also netting.

The letter, posted on Wycombe’s Twitter page, said: ‘To Wycombe FC, my name is Jacob and I am a big Portsmouth fan. I am nine years old.

‘I really like your football club because it was my first away game and you won 1-0.

‘All the people we met at your football club were really nice and friendly and Wycombe will always be a special football club to me.

‘My favourite Wycombe player is the BEAST (Adebayo Akinfenwa) as he always plays with a huge smile on his face.

‘I also like David Wheeler because he played for Pompey!’
