LEADING THE LOAN

Omar Bogle’s superb start to life on the south coast continued in the 2-0 win over Scunthorpe.

The Cardiff City loanee has made the most significant impact of the Blues’ six January additions so far.

Bogle scored his fourth goal in eight appearances with a smart swivelling finish to break the deadlock in the 71st minute.

The striker has proved crucial in Kenny Jackett’s side’s surge towards the Championship – and few could argue against Bogle adding to his tally in the final eight League One matches.

Andy Cannon and Bryn Morris have both struggled with injury since their arrivals for undisclosed fees from Rochdale and Shrewsbury respectively.

Meanwhile, loanees James Vaughan, Lloyd Isgrove and Viv Solomon-Otabor have found regular minutes hard to come by.

But Bogle is the exception in terms of those who arrived at PO4 midway through the campaign.

The former Grimsby forward has featured from the outset in the past three Pompey games when fit.

And Bogle now looks to be Jackett’s preferred choice to lead the line as the Blues’ Championship charge reaches a critical period.
