'Pompey need to find a way to win these games'

Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Watford summed up where Portsmouth are as a team at the moment.

There were spells of encouragement and promising moments but also a number of points of concern.

A more-than-decent first-half performance put Pompey in a winning position, only for them to concede two sloppy goals on the counter-attack.

Pompey need to find a way to win games like this if they want to reach the next level as a side.

It was, though, a fascinating spectacle with both teams seeming capable of stealing a late winner.

Adrian Segecic found himself on the Blues bench after a couple of quiet games but showed again he can be a difference-maker.

Conor Chaplin hasn't quite been able to make the impact he would have hoped at the start of his Pompey career. Helping him get back near his best will make a huge difference.
