Pompey couldn’t immediately bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment as they were held by Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls were playing with a man less for the final 20 minutes, but hung on for a well-earned point.

For the hosts, they may feel it was two points dropped with the man advantage coinciding with a number of missed chances.

As a result, the Blues are three points off the top six as they missed the chance to leapfrog MK Dons who play tomorrow.

Great chances squandered by Ronan Curtis as Hirst breaks down the line and expertly pulls the ball back into his path before the Republic of Ireland international blazes over the bar from inside the box. Should have done better.
