[Exile on Spencer St]

Fair result in the end, but much better second half performance from Stanley. First half Pompey were quicker and stronger, closing down (and jumping into) every Stanley player before they could control the ball. However, I expected even a L1 ref to draw the line at trying to strangle a centre forward!
Thought Hamilton was very good today and Sykes made a difference.
At times it was played at the pace of a cup-tie and there were enough nervy moments to keep tranquilliser makers in business.
Despite their late equaliser I felt it was a point won, rather than two lost.
