Championship boss is impressed by Pompey - and his own player Wednesday, 17th Oct 2018 20:16 by pompey millwall ben thompson neil harris Pompey's efforts in reaching the Championship have been given the thumbs-up - by a manager who's already there. Millwall manager Neil Harris watched Kenny Jackett's side win at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday to maintain a three-point gap at the top of the table. He was there partly to see Ben Thompson - the midfielder on loan to Pompey from Millwall - and was impressed both his own club's player and by Jackett's team. Jackett of course is an ex Millwall manager and got the south London club out of League One and into the Championship. Harris told the South London Press and Mercury: 'It was a very good performance in a comfortable team victory. Ben was doing what we know Ben can do. He is gaining more experience every time he goes on a football pitch. 'It is nice when you play in a winning team, it gives you confidence and enables you to express yourself a little more. Ben has been a good player for us over the last three years since he broke into the first team. 'Portsmouth look a strong League One team — they are big physically, well-organised and good at set-plays. They have got some good individual players and an experienced manager in Kenny, who knows the league and how to get out of the league. They’ll be a good side.' Pompey are at home to Fleetwood on Saturday and Burton next Tuesday.
