'We deserved something' - Rowett

Oxford boss Gary Rowett felt his side could have taken a point from the 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth - and did not blame Cameron Brannagan for his error that led to the only goal.

Midfielder Brannagan lost the ball in the build-up to Adrian Segecic's winner.

Rowett said: "It was one mistake and that was the main factor in the game.

"Other than that Portsmouth edged the game without creating a lot of moments, but one mistake gives them that little bit of impetus to hold on to, and they defended well.

"The last 20 minutes was exactly what you would hope - there was more of an edge to us and more quality, there were some great balls in the box and more shots.

"From that last 20 minutes I thought we deserved something from the game."
