Sloppy defending cost Pompey - analysis

Norwich beat Portsmouth on Saturday thanks to two goals in the first half
A reminder for Portsmouth this afternoon that one poor 15 minute spell is often enough to lose in the Championship.
Despite a frantic finale they couldn't recover from those sloppy opening moments.
It looked like a bad day all round for Pompey but Adrian Segecic's late strike and 10 minutes added time created a grandstand finish.
The Blues were close to an equaliser numerous times, Connor Ogilvie was left mystified as to how he was booked for diving when he thought he should have had a penalty.
Injuries were the bane of John Mousinho's life last season and he faces a nervous wait for Callum Lang's hamstring to be scanned.
A lengthy time out would be a huge blow given how he's started the season.
