The John Mousinho era continues today against Cheltenham Town.

After three wins, two draws and a couple of defeats from his opening games the Blues return to Fratton Park.

Then it’s more reaction and build-up before we bring live commentary from 3pm.

LIVE: Pompey 3 Cheltenham 0

Jacobs looking lively as some trickery in the box almost works some space to get a shot off.

Curtis breaks and Bonds is forced to bring the winger down. Textbook yellow.

Jacobs gets caught around the neck by Bonds but it’s the Chelteham man who comes out worse off.

Pompey pushing forward with the ball again.

Tunnicliffe with the breakthrough as Bishop holds the ball up and tees up the midfielder for the 20-yard finish. The epitome of a finish being nothing more than passing the ball into the net.

TUNNICLIFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Pompey indeed playing a 4-3-2 with Cheltenham 3-5-2.

Curtis starts a run but is crowded out.

Bishop is clean through after 35 seconds but hesitates and his shot is blocked by Southwood and Taylor. Big chance wasted.
