The Blues shared a goalless draw with the high-fliers in a tight contest played with plenty of commitment, although had Will Norris to thank after three excellent saves.
Debutant Jacob Farrell wasted a chance to win at the death when he headed Marlon Pack’s corner over the bar in the 90th minute – and here are our player ratings….
5. Jacob Farrell - 6
A baptism of fire up against Rak-Sakyi for his debut and given a tough time in the first half especially. Settled down a bit after the break and would have been relieved to see the winger substituted on 63 mins. Had chance to win it in 90th minute, but headed Pack's corner over. Photo: Scott Gardiner
6. Marlon Pack - 7
Pulling the strings as ever for the Blues, although will want to forget about his wild second-half free-kick. Developing a promising central-defensive partnership with Potts. Photo: Jason Brown
7. Freddie Potts - 8
So calm and composed on the ball and really growing into his role. One great challenge on Moore drew a big cheer from the fans. Clearly a talented player with a very promising future. Photo: Jason Brown
8. Sammy Silvera - 6
(Replaced by Christian Saydee on 61 mins) As ever showed glimpses, but it still hasn’t clicked for him at Pompey. Needs to find that consistency as clearly talent. Photo: Jason Brown
