KELLY: A shade unlucky with the goal which bounced just in front of him at full stretch, little else to do...6

McATEER: Not one of his better games and didn't produce a very convincing performance...5

DAILLY: Okay until the last 10 minutes when he almost gave away a winner on a couple of occasions...6

SHORT: Solid return after injury, though the back four were not overworked by Pompey's attack. He made the crucial interception of the day early in the second half when Claridge clipped in a dangerous cross...7

DAVIDSON: Contributed to one or two of the brighter moments with a couple of incisive forward passes...6

DUNN: Always a possible threat but didn't look as comfortable as he does in the centre and a lack of quality on the final touch at times 7 CARSLEY: Eased his way back into the side and will need time. But won the penalty and took it superbly...6

FLITCROFT: Close with a fine header but that was a rare moment as the real Flitcroft takes time to re-emerge...5

DUFF: A quiet game by his standards but still the one player who looks capable of creating real problems for the opposition...7

WARD: Struggled, despite unceasing effort which makes it difficult to understand why the fans single him out for criticism...5

BURGESS: You had to feel sorry for a youngster who needed help but most of his team-mates were struggling to help themselves. His time will come again...5

SUBS

OSTENSTAD: Almost made something happen but almost was the story of the day

FRANDSEN: Made no noticeable impact when a player of his ability might have expected to achieve something.
