A season-defining month for Pompey
- Published
Conor Shaughnessy returned to the Portsmouth side on Saturday after six weeks out injured
The 500-plus mile round trip for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off in Lancashire was looking like it would all be worth it when Connor Ogilvie's deflected strike found the net in the 84th minute.
It was a very low quality match with only a handful of key moments to recall. As the game looked to dwindle into a 0-0 bore-fest, it would have been a sensational away win with just a point and a place separating Pompey and Blackburn before kick-off.
Albeit that is still the case now, John Mousinho's side's seeming inability to see a game out when in the lead meant two points were thrown away in devastating fashion.
It is unfortunately the sort of characteristic that means Pompey are where we are in the Championship this season, and the number of times it has been suggested that this is something to do with the players' mentality by Mousinho is alarming.
The month of March will prove to be season defining for Pompey - displacing the agony of last minute points dropped with some crucial home wins would be a good place to start this week.
