Portsmouth manager John Mousinho:
“It’s a feeling of disappointment – not just because of the result, but also with the performance.
“We weren’t quite at the races and although I can’t fault the endeavour or energy, there wasn’t enough quality.
“The game died a death in the second half and there were times when moves broke down in areas they shouldn’t have or we gave the ball away.
“There were some gilt-edged chances before the break that we didn’t put away, but overall we didn’t create enough.
«We weren’t quite at the races and although I can’t fault the endeavour or energy, there wasn’t enough quality.»
“It was frustrating because we were obviously in control of the game and had a lot of possession, then didn’t show enough bravery in the final third.
“Some of the things we did probably shocked most people inside Fratton Park and it wasn’t until the very end that their keeper had to make a good save.
“We came into the Easter weekend with a huge amount of enthusiasm and wanted to give a good account of ourselves.
“I think everyone inside the ground wanted to see a bit more creativity and ultimately we didn’t show that.”
