New man hits ground running for Jackett
Monday, 23rd Jul 2018 23:20 by pompey-fans.com staff

Kenny Jackett was delighted at the way Anton Walkes re-entered Pompey's life.

The former Spurs man had a tidy 45 minutes alongside Tom Naylor in central midfield as the Blues won 2-0 at Swindon.

It may have been an indication of a pairing Jackett is thinking of using when the League One season starts next week.

Jackett told The News: 'Anton was always going to play 45 minutes, it was his first game back and hopefully he can build on that. We are pleased he’s here. He brings a lot and has a lot of power.

‘Having said that, Danny Rose did very, very well in the second half when he came on. That’s good competition. Anton did well, that was his first football since Rochdale, he hasn't played any games for anybody since coming off with a hamstring injury.

‘Obviously he has recovered from the hamstring and done quite a few weeks worth of pre-season work. But playing games is playing games. Hopefully he can build on that.'

Pompey play two friendlies on Tuesday - a behind closed doors game against Brighton and an evening trip to Bognor's Nyewood Lane.
