Portsmouth fans have a lot to say about Harvey Blair after Millwall defeat
Portsmouth fell to another defeat in the Championship on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 by Millwall, but there was a positive.
Fans were frustrated as Pompey were beaten on the road again, with Mihail Ivanovic proving too hot to handle in the air as he scored a brace.
Portsmouth did find an equaliser through Andre Dozzell, but poor defending consigned them to defeat.
Fans were impressed with Dozzell’s goal, which came after fine work from substitute Harvey Blair, and the youngster has now been praised.

Fans have now praised Blair after what has been a somewhat difficult season for the 21-year-old.
All things considered, he came on against one of the more physical sides in the division and made an impact having not played in ages, it’s promising, he didn’t come on and hide. Atleast he had an impact

Portsmouth sleepwalking back into relegation battle
Portsmouth were and are still in a good position to stay up, as they are five points clear of the drop zone with six games remaining, but this dip in form is concerning.
Pompey have lost three of their last four games, and their upcoming clash with an in-form Derby County could swing the tide in the relegation battle.
If John Mousinho’s side continues to drop points, then they may end up dangerously close to the relegation zone heading into the final stages of the season.
However, one or two victories would likely see Portsmouth beat the drop, but Mousinho may have to rethink his selections if his side are to improve.
