Portsmouth were "unrecognisable" in their 6-1 defeat by Stoke on Wednesday, according to captain Marlon Pack. Stoke striker Tom Cannon scored four times as Pompey suffered their heaviest defeat since losing 6-0 to Manchester City in 2008.

Mark O’Mahony’s debut goal will be of little consolation to a fanbase that made the eight-hour return r journey to the Bet365 Stadium for the Wednesday night kick-off but, in true Blue fashion, the 1,721 travelling supporters backed their team until the full-time whistle.

Portsmouth captain Marlon Pack has admitted the team need to look at themselves and make a change after an embarrassing defeat last night to Stoke City. Pack has started all eight games for Pompey this season but was hauled off short of the hour mark at the Bet365 Stadium in their heavy defeat to the Potters.
