The results leaves Danny Cowley’s side 11th in the table, without a goal in four league games and with just one win in 12 third-tier appearances.
Pompey probably shaded matters at St James Park but make the return trip home with just a point to show for their efforts.
5. Clark Robertson - 6
A few important interceptions as the Blues kept a clean sheet. Had a great chance to win the game at end. Photo: National World
6. Owen Dale - 7
(Replaced by Zak Swanson on 80 minutes): Is not a wing-back by any stretch of the imagination. Had his work cut out defensively, while little went right for him going forward, despite his efforts. Photo: National World
7. Ryan Tunnicliffe - 6
(Replaced by Joe Morrell on 80 minutes): Enjoyed a lively first half as he impressed with his bursts forward. Influence waned in the second half, though. Photo: National World
