And it was a performance all the players will want to put behind them, with no-one really coming out of the game with any real credit.
That’s reflected in Neil Allen’s Pompey match ratings, which, if we’re honest, comes with a health warning if you dare to look.
Here’s how he rated the team’s display...
1. Craig MacGillivray - 6
Not helped by team-mates in front of him - particularly two own goals.

2. Callum Johnson - 6
Overhit too many balls down the right, although okay defensively.

3. Jack Whatmough - 6
So unfortunate with two own goals, could do little about either.

4. Sean Raggett - 5
Looked uncomfortable all afternoon and not at his finest.
