🚨 ABSOLUTELY SHAMBOLIC! Portsmouth have started the new Championship season with a miserable 3-1 defeat to QPR at Fratton Park — and there is A LOT to talk about.
Pompey fans came into the opening day full of optimism, but what followed was a hugely disappointing performance from John Mousinho’s side. Portsmouth looked second best for large parts of the game, conceded three goals and ultimately suffered a 3-1 defeat against Queens Park Rangers.
In this Scott Talks Pompey instant reaction, I’m going through the game honestly and without holding back.
🔵 What went wrong for Pompey?
🔵 Why were Portsmouth so poor defensively?
🔵 Where did the midfield go wrong?
🔵 Did the new signings do enough?
🔵 What does this result mean for John Mousinho?
🔵 Are there already warning signs for Pompey this season?
🔵 And just how concerned should Portsmouth fans be?
This was supposed to be the start of an exciting new Championship season at Fratton Park. Instead, Pompey have been beaten 3-1 by QPR in front of their home supporters.
It’s only one game — but that doesn’t mean we can’t be brutally honest about what we saw.
