Zak Swanson’s stunning maiden Football League goal cancelled out Elliott Bennett’s first-half opener, yet it was a frustrating point for Danny Cowley’s men, who dominated.
Nonetheless, there were some eye-catching displays from the Blues during the encounter and here are our ratings…..
5. Connor Ogilvie - 7
Couldn’t affect much down the left flank in attacking situations, while never truly tested defensively. Photo: National World
6. Owen Dale - 7
Very bright first half, but faded badly after the interval when Pompey needed him to unlock stubborn Shrewsbury with a bit of magic. Photo: National World
7. Jay Mingi - 7
(Replaced by Joe Morrell on 65 minutes). Impressively didn’t let early booking impact his game. Some great blocks, but saw little of him driving with the ball. Photo: National World
8. Ryan Tunnicliffe - 7
His best display yet since return to the team, using the ball imaginatively, with a couple of superb passes especially. Photo: National World
