It has not usually been pretty following Portsmouth on the road this season but the loss to Coventry will be one of the toughest ones for fans to take.
For 93 minutes Pompey defended solidly. There were moments where bodies had to be put on the line but Nicolas Schmid didn’t have many saves to make. Regan Poole and Connor Ogilvie were immense at the heart of the defence.
Once again though the Blues learnt the hard way that you cannot switch off even in the final minute. Jamie Paterson’s finish was excellent but the goal was completely avoidable.
After 12 defeats in 13 away games, thank goodness three of the final five matches are at Fratton Park.
Two wins will likely be enough to stay up. However things are much tighter and much nervier than anyone would have predicted just a few weeks ago.
