The first half was good, actually 21:56 - Oct 19 with 1023 views | Strimmer | Seeing it said the first half was poor. No. That’s a professional way to deal with a hostile away ground and a fast scrappy game. Don’t conceded, Steal a goal if you can, which we did. Then open up and win the second half, job done. Got to give PC some credit for the game management. |  |

The first half was good, actually on 22:02 - Oct 19 with 952 views | itfcjoe | I couldn’t listen to the first half, but sounds a pretty tight game with few chances there - but that’s exactly what was required against a side with a support base that can be noisy in poor form. So easy to go out and play openly and end up behind the 8 ball - that performance exactly what we needed |  |

The first half was good, actually on 22:03 - Oct 19 with 945 views | clive_baker | It was a decent away performance first half. They arguably had the better of the chances, namely the side footer wide of Walton’s right post, until their keeper inexplicably takes about 109 touches and let’s Bonne rob him. Fine lines really, and the scoreline flattered us a little, but no doubt on balance we deserved it. |  |

The first half was good, actually on 22:05 - Oct 19 with 905 views | SamWhiteUK | It was a bit edgy and scrappy with neither team getting hold of the ball particularly, but it wasn't bad, and Pompey certainly weren't any better. Perfect away performance |  | |  |

Very true that chance first half could’ve changed everything, should’ve been a goal. Fine lines indeed |  |

The first half was good, actually on 22:09 - Oct 19 with 845 views | Herbivore | Not sure. It was a scrappy game and we didn't really get going against a side who offered little. The goal was excellent work from Bonne but also a touch fortuitous and that settled us down. The start of the second half was excellent, probably our best all round 20 minute spell of the season and great to see us come out and put the opposition on the back foot. |  |

Not rewriting anything. It wasn’t pretty football but we got what we needed out of it. That half was hectic and the crowd were bang at it. You may have heard of Fratton park before? It wasn’t an easy half and we came out of it with a platform to win the game, which we did. All that = good half, it’s quite simple. |  |

Cold wet Tues night away in L1, a game with some bite given the pre season comments. Sounds like we soaked all that up and took our chance first half and then went built from that 2nd half. That's a good night by any measure |  |
