As 2021 draws to a close, we take a look back at the key moments that shaped Pompey over the past 12 months.

The Blues go into the new year sat ninth in League One – six points off the play-offs.

13. December 18th - Covid outbreak

Pompey’s final game of the year was against Morecambe on December 11 as a Covid outbreak in the Blues squad signalled the postponement of games against AFC Wimbledon, Exeter (Papa John's Trophy), Oxford and Plymouth. Pompey finish 2021 ninth in the third tier - six points outside the play-off places - and with a trip to Cambridge on Monday, January 3 next on the agenda - we hope!. Photo: Graham Hunt
