I'm watching the game live on iFollow again tonight, so will be back probably after the final whistle. Feel free to comment on here by all means!
Final score is 5-1 to Pompey, with goals from Tino Anjorin with a superb overhead kick in the 11th minute, for his first Pompey goal, Jonny Williams equalised for the Gills in the 45th minute. In the 50th minute, we took the lead again with a lovely shot from Ben Stevenson, also his first Pompey goal. 4 minutes later it was 3-1 with a superb header from Kusini Yengi (his 5th goal of the season) from an excellent Jack Sparkes free kick. In the 72nd minute we went 4-1 up with another superb goal fired in by Abu Kamara. In the 80th minute we scored a fifth goal through centre half Ryley Towler. Pompey used four of their five subs, being Joe Morrell who replaced Tino Anjorin at the start of the second half, Conor Shaughnessy on for Kusini Yengi in the 63rd minute, and then the two academy youngsters Koby Mottoh and Mitch Aston replacing Jack Sparkes and Christian Saydee in the 81st minute. In my opinion, Jack Sparkes was man of the match.

It's not an as much if an aberration is Fulham, but unfortunately the rest of this competition is tainted by association. Get b teams out and then I will have nothing against it
Let me add my thanks Woops. Very much a game of two halfs - again. I thought Gillingham slightly edged the first half. However, in the second half we created plenty of clear cut chances and took a good percentage of them. The outstanding feature of the game was the quality of the goals! PUP
