14. Adrian Segecic - 7
(Replaced Keshi Anderson on 8 mins) Introduced on the right wing early on and always gives his all. Clearly not his favoured position but full of spirit and heart. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
15. Ibane Bowat - 7
(Replaced Terry Devlin on 17 mins) Pompey's unlikely hero. Came off the bench following Devlin injury and in the reshuffle went to left-back. Did the Blues proud. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
