Byers has a goal against his old side. Bazunu saves superbly from Paterson, but from the resulting corner the former Blues loanee heads home.
Off the post again as Raggett’s header from a cormer is pushed on to the woodwork by Peacock-Farrell.
Pompey are going to Fleetwood next season. One goal from Gillingham at home to Rotherham and they are staying up. I know what trip I’d rather make - come on the Gills!
Pompey break two on two with Thompson who goes alone but Hutching puts in a superb block as he shoots from the edge of the box.
OFF THE POST
Curtis get to the byline, crosses and O’Brien’s nearpost effort cannons off the woodwork and away to safety for the home side.
Grim for Pilgrims
Sounds like Plymouth are combusting. 4-0 down at home to MK Dons and down to 10 men. That’s stuffed their play-off hopes. Wycombe, MK, Sunderland and Sheff Wed in play-offs and Wigan champions ahead of Rotherham as things stand. Gillingham down with Wimbledon, Doncaster and Crewe.
Bazunu again saves Pompey with his feet keeping out Byers’ finish from 10 yards after a cutback. Should have scored really.
Thompson penalised for taking out Byers on the apex of the box. Short routine from Bannan is blocked and cleared.
