Portsmouth FC: ‘Keep playing like this and Pompey should survive’

It feels easy to describe that defeat as “one game too far” for Portsmouth. In some ways it was, but in others it was a match that got away.

Pompey were dominant for much of the second half but struggled to carve Wrexham open. They paid for a very poor second quarter and once again failing to defend a near post corner.

Losing John Swift to a hamstring injury is a blow but at least it comes at a time when Conor Chaplin is fit again. This run of games was always likely to challenge Pompey’s thin squad.

At Millwall, Portsmouth put in a 90-minute performance. They could not match that against Wrexham and they still lack a cutting edge at times. But this team remains in a decent place.

The bottom of the table is fairly chaotic and things can change quickly but keep playing as they have been and Pompey should survive.
