Sometimes you have to admit the best team won: Portsmouth fans respond to maiden league defeat at Ipswich Town
Pompey fans have been reacting to the maiden league defeat at Ipswich. Here’s a selection of those views.
Probably the toughest fixture of the season and we looked alright! 21 points from 30 with a game in hand playing some of the best stuff we’ve seen in years. Onwards. Up the Blues
Took us 63 days to lose a league game. Wednesday (A) and Ipswich (A) in the book, currently 4th, game in hand as well, we’re a stronger position right now than anybody conceived of on July 29th. Somebody fetch John, because we will go again.

Sometimes you just have to admit that the better side on the day won. Great to bring it back 2-2 but to concede again disappointing. Back in July would've taken being unbeaten until October. Too many not quite good enough today. We move on to Fleetwood next Saturday. #Pompey

Better team won at Ipswich today. Superior subs settled it. Pompey using a rusty Tunnicliffe didn’t work. Nothing settled today though.
@IanDarke
It’s taken us 10 games to lose, against arguably the best team in the division, we sit in 4th with a game in hand having played all of the teams that are currently above us. Know who I’d rather be.
@PompeyKai
The mood in the car is surprisingly good considering we lost. Nearly home, Pompey are still going up. Cowley is my king. Bishop is my hero.
@HarvMarsky
Great away support that #pompey . Good luck with the rest of the season, safe travels back down to the south coast
@CoreySh1elds
If you told me in July that our first loss would be at Portman Road, in October, I’d have bitten your hand off. It’s a shame but can’t deny Ipswich are a cracking side. All about how we react now! #Pompey
@The1898PFC
Fair play to the Pompey fans today, came in numbers despite train cancellations, sang all game despite not the best performance. Good luck for the season. #itfc #pompey #pfc @pompey
