Positives I am taking from the game:

~ It was a win, away from home and the Team scored 3 goals and could have scored more;
~ Yengi (24) was making his first start in English football;
~ Devlin (19) was making his first start in English football;
~ Kamara (19) was making his first start in English football;
~ Robertson (20) was making his first pro appearance in English football as a sub;
~ Mottoh (16) was making his first pro appearance as a sub;
~ The team was young, had not played together and were away on a wet misty night and controlled the game.
~ Pompey's corner taking looked dangerous - nice deep in-swinging corners to the back post created one goal and Bishop almost scored another.
~ The footwork and drive from Kamara to create the pen was impressive.
~ Robertson's play and pass to slide in Bishop was impressive.
~ Good penalty from Yengi - Chloe Kelly-esq.
~ Saydee looks so physically strong. Reminds me of Yukubu when I see defenders bounce off him in challenges.
~ Sparkes attacking forward play looks like a useful addition - adds versatility - could play left side of midfield in some away games with Oglivie at left
back or as a wing back in a 5-3-2. Swanson looks ideal as a right sided wing back too.
~ Pompey are into the next round of the cup and now have eight games in August alone to help gell the squad.
~ Chance of a decent home tie to generate
£ in the second round.
~ always good for the team to get that first win under their belt - particularly helpful to get it as an away win when your next league game is against similar opposition in Leyton Orient away.
