Pompey must find solutions over international break
Portsmouth have lost four of their past six league games under John Mounsinho
- Published
The bright start to the season now feels a distant memory.
Pompey have taken just one point from the past five matches. Hull City feels like a game where a draw at the very least was there for the taking.
Defensively, Portsmouth weren't good enough. Hull had already missed two excellent chances before they scored and the winner came from a fairly simple long ball.
Josh Murphy understandably is not 100% fit but he played the full 90 minutes and Pompey's second goal came from a moment of Premier League quality from the winger.
A back three worked out against Wrexham but didn't have the desired outcome at Hull. Luke Le Roux's slow start to his Pompey career continued as he was taken off at half-time
The international break will help a couple of key players get closer to fitness. It will also give boss John Mousinho time for some soul searching and to try to figure out solutions.
Pompey need them.
