'Another blank, another defeat'

Another performance with many decent aspects but another blank in front of goal and another defeat at home.

Against Sheffield United at Fratton Park in Portsmouth's previous home game, Pompey made plenty of chances but could not convert them.

By contrast on Saturday, Hull's goalkeeper Ivor Pandur was hardly tested despite all the territory and possession Pompey had.

Given how limited promotion-chasing Hull were with their intent, Pompey should have secured at least a point. Adrian Segecic will not want to see the winner again.

It feels like this might be a blueprint for sides to take on Pompey at Fratton Park.

Teams have had more success on the counter-attack than they have had trying to outplay the Blues.
