There was very much an end-of-term feel at a muted Hillsborough. I suspect both sides will be happy enough with a 1-1 draw.

It was a big day for Harvey Blair, his first start since the 6-1 humiliation at Stoke earlier in the season. He underlined his potential with his first senior goal but remains a work in progress.

Goalkeeper Ben Killip hasn't even been on the bench since arriving in January and was a surprise starter. He had no chance with Wednesday's goal and put in a very tidy performance.

All in all, a decent point on the road. Next week's finale is highly unlikely to feel flat.

Pompey face relegation-threatened Hull, who are managed by former Southampton boss Ruben Selles. Ex-Pompey loanee Abu Kamara is also likely to feature.
