'Nothing went right for Pompey'

Portsmouth expert view
  • Published

There are some games considered "a great advert for the Championship", this was not one of them.

It was physical and scrappy played out on a poor pitch, there was barely a shot on target. It wasn't helped by Sam Allison's refereeing.

John Mousinho described the first half showing as "dreadful" and it's hard to disagree. Nothing went right for Pompey and their deliveries into the box were especially poor.

They fought back in the second half and Connor Ogilvie will be rueing his late miss.

It's an opportunity squandered for Pompey as a win would have made it extremely tough for Luton to have caught them. That being said their survival bid remains in good shape.

Regan Poole and Marlon Pack did okay as centre-backs but Hayden Matthews and Rob Atkinson will be missed.
