Pompey crashed out of the Carabao Cup tonight following a 3-2 defeat at League Two Newport County.

Here’s Jordan Cross’ Blues match ratings from the loss at Rodney Parade.

Some quality from Griffiths in the first half but will be disappointed with what happened after the break, as he let Wildig’s header slip past him before Waite’s winner.

1. Josh Griffiths - 5

(Replaced by Kieron Freeman on 33 minutes): Rotten luck for the Arsenal lad. Took a whack seconds in and battled on before being replaced by Freeman after 33 minutes.

Some really important interventions from the central defender. Hopefully watching League Two managers will take note and give him the league loan he deserves.

3. Haji Mnoga - 7

(Replaced by Sean Raggett on 68 minutes): Good to see the captain back. Had his organisational skills tested in the face of Newport’s charge but had been withdrawn before winner.
