Portsmouth FC, affectionately known as 'Pompey,' are facing mounting pressure after suffering consecutive defeats, which have threatened to derail what was an encouraging start to their season.
BBC Radio Solent’s Pompey commentator noted that the team was ‘comfortably beaten’ by an opponent who was simply superior, particularly in the final third of the pitch.
The team's struggles were exacerbated by the absence of key players, with Josh Murphy out injured and Conor Chaplin unavailable due to his loan status from Ipswich.
This lack of firepower made it ‘tricky breaking Ipswich down,’ and the forward line failed to convert crucial opportunities.
The big chance of the match fell to Yang Min-hyeok, who, when through on goal, ‘couldn’t quite decide what to do.’ Both Yang Min-hyeok and Florian Bianchini have shown flashes of promise this season but have collectively failed to find the net, a factor that commentator believes has prevented them from taking their chance to lift the scoring burden from Colby Bishop and Murphy.
The bright spot came from Marlon Pack, who scored a goal and impressed coming off the bench.
Manager John Mousinho now faces a key tactical decision on whether to start Pack in the upcoming match against Watford, as his technical skills and range of passing offer something distinct to the Pompey midfield.
The consecutive losses mean the pressure is firmly on the Blues for their Wednesday fixture.
A victory against Watford is now considered essential, as a further poor result will quickly make the positive feelings from their early season form ‘feel a long time ago.’
