Jacob Brown

The latest Pompey news updates every day from the Pompey Sound Newsdesk.

So yeah, an encouraging 1-0 defeat.

Jacob Brown was delighted to make his debut for Pompey, even if it was not the outcome the forward desired.

He was thrown straight into the starting line-up to face Preston at Deepdale, after making a deadline-day loan switch from Luton.

Despite a lively showing in the North West, Alfie Devine's header ensured the visitors slipped to a 1-0 defeat.

It meant a promising unbeaten run came to an end, but Brown enjoyed his first chance to play in front of the Blues faithful.

He said, It was my first time starting a game for quite a while, so it felt great just to be out there on the pitch again.

As soon as I signed here, I just wanted to get straight down to business and start training with all the lads.

The chance for me to play in the championship again was key, and so was the role of the fans who were so great.

It was my first time starting a game for quite a while, this is a massive club and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to play for Pompey."

The visitors were on top for long periods, and Adrian Segecic had appeals for what appeared to be a Stonewall penalty turned down.

Brown said, We had a lot of chances, particularly towards the end, and were putting a lot of pressure on Preston.

I feel that it was like that for probably most of the game and it was just a case that they took that one opportunity.

That was so frustrating for us, although I think that we can be pretty pleased with our overall performance and we can't get too down about it.

We know there's another big game coming up, at home this time, next weekend, and we'll be ready to attack that.

David, I'm sure you saw. The entire town is gone. Our lives, our homes, our friends. Everyone has lost everything. I don't understand how you can attempt to rebuild an entire community without schools and roads and homes. It's devastation beyond the comprehensible.

We brought some hot dogs and we went live on tick tock.
