‘Not ready to face this Portsmouth super team’: Middlesbrough, Coventry City & Leicester City faithfuls all have say after Ipswich triumph
Pompey secured a 2-0 win over second-placed Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening.
Supporters from across the Championship have taken to social media to laud Pompey after Tuesday’s 2-0 triumph over Ipswich Town.
The Blues took a huge leap towards securing their second-tier survival, with a brilliant showing against the promotion-chasing Tractor Boys.
The result had huge implications at either end of the standings, with Pompey moving themselves four points clear of the bottom three with four games remaining.
This has plunged Saturday’s opponents Leicester City into further danger and are now five points away from safety ahead of their upcoming trip to PO4.
The result also boosted Coventry’s bid for automatic promotion and now need just a point against Blackburn Rovers on Friday to seal their return to the Premier League.
And supporters from across the division have been praising Pompey for Tuesday’s huge triumph, which has shaken up the promotion and survival fights.
Here’s the best of the reaction from the likes of Middlesbrough, Leicester City, Ipswich and Coventry City supporters on X.
Championship faithfuls all have say on Pompey after Ipswich triumph
@BoozerArab: Pompey best home fans in the country? Surely an argument for it.
@BradM_47: We lasted 97 minutes against this Portsmouth super team.
@lee1978lcfc: Portsmouth are everything we ain't... As one as a club... Atmosphere is electric... Players playing for the badge... Desire and passion... Well done Pompey.
@pidg89: Pompey done more for our promotion/title chances in their last couple than we have. Probably batter us at home next week.
@Venom_MFC: Today I feel play up Pompey #Millwall.
@tagz96CCFC: And that’s now their game in hand wasted before our last home game. Pompey has pulled off a blinder of a week. Beating boro and Ipswich. What a week it is.
@SimmsLCFC89: I don’t know ANY player in that Portsmouth starting 11 tonight and I know for a fact they’re gonna run rings around us Saturday.
@JPrentice8: Fratton Park is the only ground in the league where all three home sides of the stadium are getting involved. The one place you can't give away cheap stuff and tonight we did that time after time #itfc
@awbuswell: I’m not ready for us to face this Portsmouth super team.
@JamiePinner: Lacked energy, lacked quality, and a terrible atmosphere in the away end. The compete opposite can be said for Pompey. They wanted it so much more than us and the best home atmosphere I’ve seen in a long time. Fair play. God knows where this leaves us. Sunday is enormous
@MonsterMcD: Pompey are tearing us a new one Tuesday, better win Friday to finish it.
@Joeytaylor123: Someone tell all the Pompey fans in my mentions I'm delighted as a Coventry fan right now.
@HeyesBrand18193: Pompey have killed Boro hopes of catching us basically promoting us. Killed Ipswich hopes of catching us for the title And potentially relegating Leicester all in the space of 7 days. I’ll never have a bad word to say about them ever again. PLAY UP POMPEY.
@ChloeRT9: The three-hour drive back from Fratton Park on Saturday is shaping up to be one of the most depressing journeys of my life
@mfcbish: I’m convinced Pompey would win the Champions League, win every game they shouldn’t on paper.
