Several members of the Pompey squad were involved for their loan clubs over the past week.
Haji Mnoga
It was a day to remember for the Pompey defender, who started for Aldershot as they caused an almighty FA Cup shock.
The National League side led 7-0 at League Two outfit Swindon with 58 minutes on the clock, with the game eventually finishing 7-4.
And Mnoga played a key role in the fourth goal netted by the Shots – scored by Lorent Tolaj – on the stroke of half-time.

Sublime.

Their reward for the victory is a home tie in the second round, with fourth tier leaders Stockport set to visit the Recreation Ground next month.
Josh Oluwayemi
The keeper continued his good form for Chelmsford in their 1-1 draw at Tonbridge Angels in National League South.
WHAT A SAVE!

Josh makes it 3 games, 3 unbelievable saves!
Shields' effort was tipped over the bar by Oluwayemi's fingertips!

The Clarets fought from behind, but could not find a winner, despite their opponents playing most of the contest with just 10 men following an early red card.
Toby Steward
There was an early FA Trophy exit for Gosport, when they lost 3-0 in a rearranged contest at Bognor in midweek.
Steward was undone by one of his former Pompey academy team-mates, with Dan Gifford netting twice for the Rocks.

Davis picks out the bottom corner from range, and another brilliant save from Steward tips it out for a corner, to deny the ball from reaching the goaline!
The keeper was not in action at the weekend, however, as Boro’s scheduled league visit to Hayes & Yeading was postponed.
Harry Jewitt-White
The midfielder came off the bench for the closing stages of Havant & Waterlooville’s 4-1 defeat at Braintree in National League South.
Liam Vincent
The defender was an unused substitute for Worthing as they lost 2-0 at Alfreton in the FA Cup to miss out on a home tie with Walsall in round two.
Destiny Ojo
The academy striker remained on the bench during Poole’s 3-1 victory at Beaconsfield in the Southern League Premier.
