Nesten hele troppen ble brukt også i treningskamp nummer to.
Det endte 1-1 i tirsdagens treningskamp mot våre gode venner Bognor Regis Town. Stillingen ved pause var 0-0 etter at Liam Vincent hadde vært nærmest scoring med et stolpetreff.
I 2. omgang misbrukte Paddy Lane et straffespark, men da Pompey fikk nok et straffespark gikk Joe Morrell fram og scoret (se bildet over). Like før slutt utlignet Bognor Regis Town på en corner med hva som kan høres ut som en keepertabbe av Josh Oluwayemi. Dermed endte det 1-1 i sommerens andre treningskamp.

Det var ventet at Pompey ville stille et noe mer toppet lag mot Bognor Regis Town enn hva Mousinho valgte å gjøre i Spania, men det endte med at det var to ulike startellever i hver omgang også denne gangen. Seks spillere som alle kan være høyaktuelle til en startellever i seriestarten var ikke med.
Høyreback Joe Rafferty har en liten skade som gjør at han ikke trener for fullt ennå. I tillegg sliter spissene Colby Bishop og Christian Saydee med sine ankler. Nykommerne Gavin Whyte, Kusini Yengi og Regan Poole var ikke klare for kamp ennå. Poole har nettopp signert, mens Mousinho ønsker at Whyte og Yengi trener mer med laget først.
Whyte og Yengi er begge aktuelle til kampene som spilles fredag/lørdag. Fredag 14/7 spiller Pompey borte mot Gosport Borough. Lørdag 15/7 borte mot Havant & Waterlooville.

John Mousinhos kommentarer til kampen
«It was another good exercise for us – with two different 11s getting 45 minutes on the pitch each. The most important thing was to get through the game without any injury problems, which I think we’ve done.
We also want to see how we shape up in possession and get more of a feel of the ball, so we ticked off all of them. There were some things that we need to do a lot better, but we’re only the second game into pre-season and we’re pleased with where they are.
We need to move the ball a lot quicker at times because we took too many touches and got dispossessed, especially in the first half. We also want to create more chances in the final third, although we were without our three centre-forwards, so it’s perhaps understandable.
You don’t want to dismiss the result because you want to get into that winning habit and we’re disappointed not to come away with a clean sheet. But the scoreline doesn’t really matter too much until we start playing league and cup games next month.”
