Referee: 8 didn’t get carried away with early bookings and probably very rarely was slightly more biased to us
Steer: 7 - solid but couple of shaky second half moments and kicks straight out of play Dijksteel: 7 solid first half second half a lot of chasing Bauer: 7 solid enough Pearce: 9 immense true captains performance Sarr: 7 dealt with their main threat Lowe reasonably well but limited him to getting forward at all Biliek: 7.5 broke up play well with showing the odd bit of class Lapslie: 9 MOM almost everywhere constantly at them winning so many 50 50s getting stuck in and need to see a replay of how he cleared that one off the line Aribo: 7.5 good but very quiet at times Reeves: 6 didn’t do a great deal for me at all as much as I do like him Taylor: 7.5 not his greatest game but still put himself about and gets an extra 1 for the assists Grant: 7 caused a lot of problems until injury Ajose: 6.5 good finish but didn’t really do anything else of note at all Marshall: 6 came on battled then got injured and just hung in there
Steer: 8 = excellent saves. held onto the shots well and didn't give up many rebounds. Dijksteel: 7 = did his job well and commanded his area well Bauer: 7 = always a calming influence on the back line. composed Pearce: 7.5 = per usual won all his headers. also did a great job sweeping up any balls that got behind our fullbacks Sarr: 7 = overall a solid game. didnt have any heart stopping moments. could have helped stopped the crosses coming in form his flank more often. Biliek: 8 = was impressive today. went hard for every 50/50 and paid the price a few times. even some nice skill at times to evade the oppo. Lapslie: 9.5 = MOTM - this guy was everywhere today. played a huge part in the second goal. has a great instinct where to float and pick up the loose balls in midfield. Goal line clearance off his face too Aribo: 9 = played a huge part in first goal. kept the ball close and tight today. great game Reeves: 7 = started brightly and was looking to be playmaker. not sure y he went off at half. Taylor: 7.5 = 2 nice assists. At first was not challenging for the ball, but as the game got more physical he fed off it. Started to bully oppo and thrived off the physical challenge. Grant: 7 = great goal. hes always looking for that ball behind the defense. dangerous with the ball at his feet. Shame he came off injured. Ajose: 7 = took his goal well. Bad passing at times, could have played Taylor into goal a couple times. I liked how he came back defensively when needed. Marshall: 7 = injured? was limping around at the end of the game when we had no subs. He did run hard when needed and put defensive shape first when needed.
Solly: n/a = not suited for a CDM Role. did okay but not sure he was effective. Pompey looked dangerous down the middle when he came on.
Referee: 7 - Owed us after his mistake cost us a point at Sunderland, felt he did that without it being intentional, good officiating
Steer: 8 - Didnt really have much to do, most of his saves were pretty tame but very calm with his catching Dijksteel: 7 - Along with Lapslie (thought that would be our weakest side) I thought he handled their winger very well Bauer: 8 - Dealt with everything into the box Pearce: 8 - Is the perfect match day captain, led by example Sarr: 7 - Got caught out a few times in the first half but otherwise dealt with Lowe (their best player) quite well Bielik: 9 - Great to see that form back from him Lapslie: 9 (MOTM) - Got a pre-assist, cleared off the line, got a boot in the face whilst chasing a lost cause, only a goal stopped him from a 10 for me Aribo: 7 - Dithered on the ball a bit at times but better second half Reeves: 7 - I felt he had a tidy game and ironically was the reverse against Blackpool as felt we lost a bit of edge up top when he went off Taylor: 7.5 - Battled really well, made a good nuisance of himself Grant: 8 - Lovely finish, was terrorising their defence up until he went off, hope its not serious
Ajose: 7 - Took his goal well but that was about it really, wasted a glorious chance to put Taylor through on goal to seal it Marshall: 7 - His crossing was woeful today but a decent cameo
Referee: 7 thought he did reasonably well, maybe even a little in our favour
Steer: 7 some good saves but also couldn't hold onto others and wayward kicking Dijksteel: 7.5 thought he put in some class tackles early on and looked good throughout, they got more space on his wing as the second half went on Bauer: 8 always seemed to be there to mop up Pearce: 9 glorious tackles and commanding presence Sarr: 7.5 guilty of a few unnecessary fouls but seemed to be a gameplan, extra 0.5 for getting into Pitman's face Biliek: 8 broke up midfield so well, we looked worse when he came off. Occasionally overplays as per usual. Lapslie: 9.5 hero MOTM everywhere what a player tonight! Aribo: 8 faded towards the end but so integral before that Reeves: 6.5 sometimes tries to be too fancy when I just don't think he has it in his locker Taylor: 8 niggly late game suited him, assisted for both goals! Grant: 8 looker so dangerous, hope his sub was precautionary and nothing too serious Ajose: 6.5 scored but not much else Marshall: 6.5 pace can be very useful but didn't see much from him maybe because he got wiped out
Solly: n/a but not a cdm, would have preferred Djiksteel to step into midfield and Solly slot in at RB
Referee: 8 lots of criticism from Pompey commentators but I thought he did well
Steer: 7.5 didn't think we could replace Amos but steer is really coming into his own now Dijksteel: 7.5 Great first half looking much more composed at the back Bauer:8 Bauer and Pearce are the perfect combination. They dominated Pompey CF Pearce: 8 Another great performance from the captain love his attitude Sarr: 6 a little shaky today. I thought their winger troubled him Biliek: 7 much better performance from him Lapslie: 9.5 Only a goal could have added to this performance. this is a Charlton star coming of age. he was everywhere and his passion for the club shows in every performance. he is the player we would hope to be if we were playing Aribo: 6.5 worked hard but thought his first touch was a bit out Reeves: 6.5 much better than in the cup but still working back into form Taylor: 8 great assist and bags of effort. He is vital to us so hope he is not badly injured after that red card tackle Grant: 7 good goal but injured before he came off Ajose: 7 Don't loike him but he did what he is paid for ...for once Marshall: 7 helped close down their winger
Referee: 7 - Owed us after his mistake cost us a point at Sunderland, felt he did that without it being intentional, good officiating

Ajose: 7 - Took his goal well but that was about it really, wasted a glorious chance to put Taylor through on goal to seal it Marshall: 7 - His crossing was woeful today but a decent cameo
Steer: 7.5 Feel very safe with him in goal Dijksteel: 7 steady Bauer: 7 One poor cleaeance but good overall Pearce: 7.5 What it says on the tin Sarr: 7 i think we are a better balanced side when he plays Biliek: 7.5 Good performance Lapslie: 8.5 MOTM Was best game I have seen him play for us Aribo: 7 I thought he was a bit off initially but grew into the game Reeves: 6 Should have scored - not his best Taylor: 7.5 Graft but sgould have scored. Key player though/ Grant: 7.5 Did well Ajose: 7 Should have put Taylor in but got the important goal Marshall: 5 Delivery was poor
Steer: 8 difficult to see from the away end but appeared to make a number of brave saves Dijksteel: 7 Solid enough Bauer: 9 didn’t put a foot wrong Pearce: 8 battled all night Sarr: Won some important headers at the back post Biliek: 8 a classy player who can battle as well Lapslie: 8 so brave and energetic Aribo: 7 worked hard but not much came off for him tonight Reeves: 6 worked hard but not match sharp yet Taylor: 7 great assist for the first Grant: 7 looked a threat Ajose: 7 another goal away at Pompey! Marshall: 6 terrible corners but worked hard
Referee: 8 rare but favoured is slightly. Don’t think any of the penalties were pennos just Pompey fans hoping
Steer: 8 looked solid Dijksteel: 7.5 growing up fast Bauer: 8 great pairing with Pearce and will be missed when he goes Pearce: 8 leader of men. I love him Sarr: 7.5 love this chap. Biliek: 8 still dont know what he is but on that form he’s a beast Lapslie: 9 reminds me of Parker with workrate and heart. The fact he’s a fan explains that passion and he was bang up for it tonight Aribo: 7.5 tidy Reeves: 7.5 slowly getting up to speed and still the man who can do something a bit unique. Keep him fit and he could be immense in the 2nd half of the season Taylor: 8.5 fabulous workrate and 2 assists Grant: 8.5 petrifying pace and now getting into those positions. Excellent partnership and understanding with Lyle Ajose: 7.5 still think he’s a nob but worked har tonight Marshall: 7 frustrating but works so hard. Important player
Bowyer 10 LB Said they weren’t pretty and were big and strong so countered that as best we can. Bielik was a beast and Naby had to be tough. Brilliant defending but pacy enough up from to keep them on their toes
Referee: 5 Favoured us heavily. I just want a fair Ref. No way was there a single red card challenge in this game. Ref did miss the blatant forearm smash on Bielik that I don't think you can call a challenge.
Steer: 8 solid enough, got away with a couple of fumbles. Dijksteel: 7 much better from the lad, though passing needs shortening up as was often wayward. Bauer: 7 strong performance, missed several headers though. Pearce: 7.5 see Bauer but won more headers Sarr: 7.5 Solid, let their man in once but also mopped up a few Bauer/Pearce errors... Such a giant too. Bielik: 8 Very very good game. Lapslie: 8.5 Reminiscent of Poyet's better games tonight. Aribo: 7 First half contributed to just the goal otherwise looked lost. Second half much better. Reeves: 6.5 Sprayed the ball about, some of the passes even came off. Taylor: 9 Simply everywhere! Possibly the fittest player we've had since the Prem. Grant: 8 started well unfortunate with the injury, but seemed to be moving okay before being subbed. Ajose: 7 Came on, scored, worked hard but really can't hit a ball cleanly whether passing or shooting. Marshall: 7 Came on, worked hard, looked shaken after the big hit and didn't hit sprint after.
Steer: 8 - When playing the team of the league away from home you need your keeper to play well and be brave. Dijksteel: 7 Bauer: 7 Pearce: 7 Sarr: 7 Biliek: 6.5 Lapslie: 7.5 Aribo: 7.5 Reeves: 7 Taylor: 7.5 Grant: 7 Ajose: 6.5 Marshall: 6
Referee: 6 Even though he gave everything in our favour, this was poor reffing. Too late to act on dangerous tackles and should have called the skippers in when the match started to boil a bit.
Steer: 9 Would have been mom for some of the vital saves he made, especially in the second half when he was under siege from constant corners.
Dijksteel: 8.5 We needed him to be a big lad and he didn't let us down. His positional play gets better every game and he was not going to be pushed around.
Bauer: 7.5 Not as active as Pearce.
Pearce: 8.5 Never shirked a single challenge, no matter how dangerous it looked. he was an engine room at the end when we were under the cosh.
Sarr: 8 Used his size to counteract their height, but his ball control is unorthadox.
Biliek: 7.5 Much better in the second half when we needed to be stronger in midfield
Lapslie: 9.5 MOM That's as good a performance as you will see from a young Charlton player. They battered and bulled him because they couldn't deal with his energy, but he played on and on and on and on.
Aribo: 7 Better in the first half, needs to release the ball a tiny bit sooner.
Reeves: 7 Covered a lot of ground in the first half.
Taylor: 7 A quiet game by his own high standards, but he was the same old Lyle, a handful for defences.
Grant: 7.5 Not many chances, but took the goal well.
Ajose: 7.5 Was worried when he came on rather than Fozzy, but I was wrong, and he scored here AGAIN !
Marshall: 7 Came on to give pace to our counter attack but it never worked out that way much.
Solly: n/a 7 - Sols, we are under the cosh and going to concede an equaliser unless you get on there, play out of position till the end, and chase down every loose ball in midfield - OK boss, will do.

Taylor: 7 A quiet game by his own high standards, but he was the same old Lyle, a handful for defences.
Grant: 7.5 Not many chances, but took the goal well.
Ajose: 7.5 Was worried when he came on rather than Fozzy, but I was wrong, and he scored here AGAIN !
Marshall: 7 Came on to give pace to our counter attack but it never worked out that way much.
Solly: n/a 7 - Sols, we are under the cosh and going to concede an equaliser unless you get on there, play out of position till the end, and chase down every loose ball in midfield - OK boss, will do.
