John Mousinho’s men weren’t good enough to break down a stubborn Cheltenham as the Fratton Park fixture finished goalless and was greeted with boos by some at the final whistle.
The match ran on almost 30 minutes late after a total of two linesmen had to be replaced following injury, including asking a qualified official from hospitality to step in during the second half.
So here are our Pompey player ratings...
13. Abu Kamara - 5
(Replaced Gavin Whyte on 82 minutes) Had great opportunity when put through by Morrell, but couldn’t capitalise. Photo: Jason Brown
14. Jack Sparkes - 5
(Replaced Anthony Scully on 82 minutes) Provided an assist against Exeter, but disappointingly made little impact on this introduction from the bench. Photo: Jason Brown
15. Christian Saydee - 5
(Replaced Marlon Pack on 90+6 minutes) The most effective of the substitutes, yet still sliced a shot from a Rafferty cross late on when he should have done far better. Photo: Jason Brown
