Manager John Mousinho spoke to BBC Radio Solent after Portsmouth were beaten 2-1 at Ipswich Town.

"The result is really disappointing. the performance was a contrast in the two halves, and that is the frustrating thing – we waited to go 2-0 down to really play," he said.

"Or at least 1-0 down, because once we went a goal down we settled into the game and we were fine in the first half.

"We had a really good chance to level things up and a couple of opportunities on the break, but we probably lacked that belief to actually put the ball in the back of the net or create a little more going forward

"We got on the ball a lot more in the second half and we showed we can play and were much better."
