I've just watched the extended highlights from yesterday and it wasn't just gallant defending that got the point it was poor finishing and a bit of luck as well.
Portsmouth missed a very good chance in the last 15 minutes from a close range header which went passed the post then hit the crossbar near the end.
I was surprised by how many decent chances they had in the first half hitting the bar and having two goal bound efforts beating the keeper and being cleared.
The sending off looked justified with studs being up and catching the portsmouth player quite high. And Piero was lucky not to get booked for that dive that Gray would have been proud of
.
In the end it is a good point won with ten men. Perhaps a sub up front such as McCarten may have gave us a chance of a breakaway or forced them to leave men back, who knows, but in the end it is one game closer to safety and most of the other games went our way at the bottom.
