'Two points dropped... got to win these games to avoid play-offs' - Portsmouth fans react to 1-1 draw against Oxford
Sean Raggett handed Kenny Jackett’s side a 1-0 lead on 19 minutes.
However, the hosts were unable to build on their advantage and paid the price as Alex Gorrin levelled matters from the penalty spot.

Hide Ad@PompeyViking62: Pompey had Oxford exactly where they wanted them in the 1st half, but Oxford’s game management with the triple sub changed their energy and approach was something we failed to respond to nor looked sure how to, and so went the win. Not a terrible result, but 2 points dropped.
@1fluoverHilzee: At 1-1 Pompey bring on a defensive midfielder, Oxford bring on a centre forward. Tells you all you need to know about Jacket’s ambition.
@Samalaaarr: That’s gotta go down as a poor result, even if Oxford are probably in a slightly false position.

Hide AdMorris coming on was a massively negative change which seemed to kill us off. Disappointing.
@FrattonFaithful: Two points dropped on paper but can't say we deserved to win on balance of play.
Attacking quartet mainly kept quiet with Curtis wasting the best of the chances.
Oxford looked better than league position suggests but Pompey lose ground on the top 2.

Hide Ad@andyhorton94: Got to be winning these games if we want to avoid the play offs.
@PropPersonnel: their triple substitution turned the game around, and if not for Big Mac they'd have nicked that.
Two quick questions: 1. What is the point in Bryn Morris? 2. Why on earth did we sign Jordy Hiwula?
@GavH_: Should of won that, better team just couldn’t find that extra quality in final third, still unbeaten so can’t complain too much
