These are the marks out of 10 for those Pompey players who featured in the against Bristol City, before Cowley made changes after 69 minutes.
1. Alex Bass - 6
A competent showing from the keeper, who has shown he is comfortable with the ball at his feet in pre-season. Smart save from Weimann after an hour. Photo: Jason Brown
2. Zak Swanson - 6
Plenty of energy up and down the right flank and looking sharp so far. No sign of lasting impact from bout of food poisoning in Spain. Photo: Portsmouth FC
3. Clark Robertson - 6
Quite a stern test up against Wells and was pulled out of position once or twice but was typically dogged and committed. Photo: The News
4. Haji Mnoga - 7
Stepped out on a couple of occasions, but otherwise kept it pretty simple and did the basis things well enough. Then really came through when staying on after the changes were made with some crucial blocks. Photo: Jason Brown
