Jackett

Former Falmouth players John Jackett and Tommy Jago were both selected against South Africa now dubbed the Springboks for the first time.

Jackett was Pompey boss when he recruited him from Dagenham & Redbridge in August 2017 on a busy deadline day which also consisted of Damien McCrory, Matty Kennedy and Stuart O’Keefe.

Now finally cleared as a suspect in Christa’s murder, Tony Jackett is relieved at the verdict, although remarkably, he isn’t sure the jury got it right.

And Jackett was asked if he would consider letting Pitman join a fellow League One club.

Jackett admitted as much afterwards and the knowledge a maximum would’ve fired Pompey into the top six made it feel an opportunity missed.

Jackett said: ‘It was a hard game in a different way to some of the home games we had.

Kenny Jackett has prioritised a new central defender, preferably left-sided, to bolster his promotion-chasing squad.

Mnoga broke a toe in his left foot in August, with boss Kenny Jackett putting it down to falling off a kerb while walking to the Victorious Festival.

Since recovering from injury, Mnoga has been kept in the senior set-up by Kenny Jackett for training, and got first-team minutes under the belt in the 2-1 EFL Trophy win at Walsall on Tuesday.

That prompted a desire to pick up playing time away from St Andrews, and Seddon couldn’t wait to link up with Kenny Jackett when he became aware a club of Pompey’s stature were keen.

And Jackett admits the Waterlooville youngster remains an important member of his playing squad.

And Jackett admitted he is awaiting news on the former Dagenham & Redbridge man’s latest setback.

And Kenny Jackett is confident he can ‘dovetail’ his options out wide to get the best out of them over the remainder of the campaign.

And the decision of referee Sebastian Stockbridge frustrated Kenny Jackett.

But it’s up to the on-loan Rangers midfielder to ensure he breaks his way into Kenny Jackett’s line-up.

Despite Kenny Jackett converting the hitman into a centre-back this season, he still wants to be regarded as a centre-forward.

Harrison has featured from the outset on only a solitary occasion in League One, with John Marquis so far being Jackett’s preferred option spearheading the Blues’ attack.

However, on the pitch, there has been steady progress in that time, with Kenny Jackett’s side last season lifting the Checkatrade Trophy and narrowly missing out on promotion via the play-offs.

If he can replicate those exploits in League One then he's capable of thrusting his way into Kenny Jackett's line-up.

In fact, including Rew, three of the top 10 have been handed their bows in the EFL Trophy by Jackett.
