“Don’t take your eyes off the ball” - Loads of Portsmouth fans react to major boost

Portsmouth secured passage to the Checkatrade Trophy final, to be held at Wembley Stadium on March 31st, with a convincing 3-0 win over Bury on Tuesday night.

Kenny Jackett’s side were superior throughout and produced a scintillating second half performance to secure the victory. Second half strikes from Gareth Evans, Oliver Hawkins and Ronan Curtis clinched victory for Pompey.

The south coast club are currently enduring a poor run of form in League One, having drawn their last five league games in a row. Jackett will be hoping that this cup triumph will give his side the boost of confidence they need in order to get back on track in the league and compete for the automatic promotion spots.

However, some Portsmouth fans are less than excited about the approaching cup final. Many supporters have been boycotting the competition due to the involvement of Premier League clubs’ under-23s sides.

After the match, plenty of Pompey fans took to Twitter to discuss the upcoming final…

Good confidence win . Great to have clean sheets which is much needed .
Fans will be dividing on going to Wembley! Let them be . If you want to go then go! If not then don’t simple! Everyone has their reasons

Why is everyone so annoyed about going to a final. Massive confidence boost, looked great going forward and another clean sheet. Let’s start winning league games and challenge for that automatic promotion spot! #wembley #bluearmy #PUP !

There is no dilemma here.
We go to Wembley, show the team our support and use the TV coverage to send a clear message regarding the point we’ve been making about the tournament. Seems like a great opportunity to be loud, heard and seen! #PUP
