'Plymouth loss highlighted Pompey's limitations'

A bump back down to earth for Portsmouth after the incredible high of Sunday's win against Leeds United.

Plymouth defended incredibly well and extremely deep, but Pompey played into their hands with misplaced passes - and poor defending allowed two goals on the counter-attack.

Last season in League One, team after team came and parked the bus at Fratton Park but that's not been the case this season and it was as if Pompey had forgotten how to play against teams who did.

Boss John Mousinho was correct to say if the team want to get to the next level they must be able to adapt and win games like that.

Wednesday night highlighted the relative limitations of his side.

Pompey remain in a strong position but the bottom of the table does not quite look as favourable as it did just a few days ago.
