'What a win. Best performance of season' - Portsmouth fans react to win over Millwall as Blues move 7 points clear of danger
Pompey beat Millwall 3-1 to secure their first win since victory against Middlesbrough on October 4.
Pompey fans on social media have been reacting to the Blues’ 3-1 win against Millwall.
A spectacular first-half opener from Zak Swanson was added to by the returning Adrian Segecic after the break. And while the visitors rallied with a goal from Mihailo Ivanovic (72), despite being reduced to 10 men following Joe Byron’s sending off, their hopes were dashed by substitute Jordan Williams in the dying minutes when he let loose with another eye-catching effort that raised the PO4 roof.
The victory sees Pompey move up to 19th in the Championship table and seven points clear of the Championship relegation zone.
Here’s what fans have been saying on X as they celebrated a fourth win of the season and just the Blues’ third at Fratton Park this term.
Fans react to 3-1 win against Millwall.
@PFCperspectives: That is an absolutely huge win.
@knight37: Fantastic performance @Pompey. Must put that effort in every week. That’s the Pompey I’m proud of. Goes to show it’s the players and not the manager. Just keep it going, we needed that one! Play up #pompey.
@PompeyFlag: A much-needed win for Pompey, could of been 5 or 6 with the chances created. But man-oh-man....we have GOT to sort this set piece defending out! Are we suddenly poor at defending corners because of the staff switch? Anyway, up the blues! Safe journey home #Millwall fans.
@Dann_PFC: What a win that is. Can we just start our full-backs up front?
@Georgehare18: Some amazing individuals back from injury in this Pompey team which gets the others ticking. Just need to get the depth right and sort these set pieces out. RW as a priority with CM, LB and backup ST away from being a decent Championship team.
@Tomeames4: The bus stop from West Ham made no noise from minute 1.
@SteveoLarham: Amazing what can be achieved with your best players fit and players in their natural position. Who needs a left back when you have right backs who can score bangers. 7 points clear of bottom 3. Best performance of the season #Pompey.
@LawAndPolitics3: Excellent performance by #pompey. Gives the AEB bed wetters time to get the bedding dry before the inevitable defeat at Bramall Lane. Koz was excellent- almost like if you have a bit of patience players might show what they are made of.
@_JLWilson: Intensity & aggression without the ball. Movement & quality with the ball. The performance we’ve been waiting for. Well deserved 3 points.
@mrmatthews8888: Pompey looked at it from the first minute, midfield today looked really good today and how nice is it to score 3 goals let alone 3 great goals each one was quality #creditwherecreditsdue.
@ryanlewis79: Very good performance that. So much better with Segicic and Lang. Bianchini excellent pressing from the front and Koz MOTM, however he’s allergic to taking a shot. Up the blues #Pompey.
