Player Ratings v Portsmouth (h)
Clapham - Not one of his better games but he wasn't alone in that respect.
Upson - Defensively superb but too much hoof ball.
Cunningham - Steady, as always.
Pennant - Didn't see enough of the ball in the opening period but a threat after the break.
Nafti - Did ok but surprisingly subbed.
Johnson - Anonymous first half, a little better in the second.
Lazaridis - Subdued and didn't do enough to test Pompey's stand-in right back - Aliou Cisse!
Pandiani - Tried hard from poor service.
