Danny Cowley’s side have had an inconsistent run of form throughout the campaign, with 4-0 highs against Sunderland, Doncaster and Accrington helping ease the disappointment of crucial defeats against the likes of Ipswich, Cambridge, MK Dons and Charlton.
The Blues have always been notoriously strong at home partly down to the Fratton faithful, yet things haven’t always gone to plan this term with Cowley’s side sitting 10th in League One.
