Michael Smith
A training ground match between a Pompey reserve side and Reading’s development squad saw Paul Cook’s recent loan signings Michael Smith and Kieron Freeman enjoy their first confidence boosting win in a Portsmouth shirt at Copnor Road today.
Goals from Conor Chaplin and Kal Naismith preceded the third from Michael “Smudge” Smith in a side that also featured Ben Davies, Christian Burgess, Marc McNulty, Gary Roberts, Gareth Evans and Adam Barton. Kieron Freeman came on for the second half whilst Smith joined the game in the 60th minute.
