Cotterill hails 'magnificent' Sonko
Portsmouth boss Steve Cotterill branded recalled defender Ibrahima Sonko "outstanding" following his heroics against Nottingham Forest.[LNB] Sonko, only back in the side due to an injury to Ricardo Rocha, capped a fine display with the opening goal as Pompey ran out 2-1 winners.[LNB]"I thought Ibrahima Sonko was outstanding. I thought he was absolutely magnificent. If anybody gives him a nine out of 10 - they're wrong. He deserves a 10," said Cotterill.[LNB]"He capped it with a goal and I was chuffed to bits for him. I'm really, really pleased and the lads were all over him as well.[LNB]"He has been left out of the team, he has come back, but when he was out of the team, he was so supportive.[LNB]"He's not the silkiest footballer, we all know that. But I'll tell you what, he has a heart the size of a lion. If we hadn't had him, we could have gone under when there were five of them up against our back four."[LNB]
