PROCEED WITH CAUTION: Neil Allen's Portsmouth match ratings come with health warning following defeat at Northampton

The News’ chief sports writer, Neil Allen, has had his say on Pompey’s performance at Northampton – and it’s no surprise, his ratings aren’t for the faint-hearted.

The Blues lost 4-1 against the relegation-threatened side and that’s reflected in the scores he’s dished out for individual displays.

Paul Cook said this week that managing Pompey came with a health warning.

Well, in a similar manner to the former Blues boss – so too does these ratings.

You have been warned.
