Despite the limitations of Portsmouth’s recent performances, they have been competitive in every game. They were nowhere near as good as they were on Saturday.
Yes, QPR scored on almost every shot they took, but Pompey’s defense was particularly poor, especially in the first 30 minutes.

Playing Eb Adams at No. 10 and John Swift deeper was a huge failure. John Mousinho got this wrong.
Pompey needs Adams’ athleticism in midfield. News of his knee problems added insult to injury.
I can’t remember the last time I saw away fans as angry as they were at the final whistle. As players passed by, they made no secret of their anger.
Portsmouth are outside the relegation zone and have a game in hand. But they have just one point from six games. It’s hard to find a fan these days who is confident of retaining the championship.
