'Mousinho must find solution to issues on the road'

Portsmouth have only won once on the road this season in the Championship

Another brutal day on the road for Pompey with once again the big talking point the team selection.

John Mousinho's decision to rest five key players will have frustrated some of the travelling fans who are investing time and money to follow the club.

However, he must do what he think is best for the squad and in many ways the performance today highlighted why he must wrap his key players up in cotton wool.

There is a shortage of Championship quality and once again one West Brom goal was enough to spark a collapse.

Seven away defeats on the bounce and Mousinho must find a solution to these issues away from Fratton Park or staying up will be very challenging.

One or two more quality additions would also be very useful.
