'Pompey must find a way to win matches like this'

Wednesday night's goalless draw with Wrexham was not the victory that would have eased everyone's concerns but it was a much improved performance - albeit it would have been difficult to be worse than Saturday.

It was a bold selection from John Mousinho to play a 3-4-2-1 formation. Conor Chaplin and Josh Murphy were a slightly lopsided pair behind Colby Bishop but this setup got both in their strongest positions.

Wrexham will argue they were worthy of a point as the better side in the first half and missing a one-on-one in the second, however Pompey will be scratching their heads at how at least one opportunity didn't find its way in at the other end.

This showing will help build confidence after the weekend but Pompey must find a way moving forward to win matches like this one.
