Louis Moult
Passed a late fitness test having returned to Stoke in midweek for treatment on a back injury.
Started well and had a one on one saved in the opening few minutes before putting his strike partner Paul Connor in on goal with an intelligent through ball on 9 minutes.
Moult then put team mate Cain in on goal with a well timed back heel whilst a cross from Connor just evaded the run of Moult before half time.
He faded after the break, possibly due to his injured back, and was subbed after 66 minutes
Carl Dickinson
Was an unused sub for Pompey

Was an unused sub for Pompey.
Ben Marshall
Played the full 90 minutes as Carlisle won 1-0 at Swindon.
Had a great game and was described as 'the best player omn the pitch' and 'the difference between the sides' by every poster giving ratings on the CarlisleMAD board.
Winger was also said to have had 'the full back terrified of him after just ten minutes'.
Diego Arismendi
Played the full game as Barnsley lost 1-0 at Portsmouth.
Had a poor game and the Barnsley faithful are now calling for him to return to Stoke as he has 'lost his desire' and is just strolling around looking unimpressive and disinterested.
Andrew Davies
Made his second debut for Middlesbrough as they won 3-2 at Millwall.
Was described as having a superb game by the Boro supporters on their forums, many giving him MOTM, and saying he brought a presence to the back line and won everything in the air.
