Portsmouth urgently need January reinforcements

Wednesday night was another spirited performance from Portsmouth as they earned a draw at Vicarage Road.

They largely nullified Watford's attack while posing an occasional threat at the other end.

It was notable, on the day it emerged defender Conor Shaughnessy has suffered another potentially bad injury, that Regan Poole and Connor Ogilvie played so well in the heart of the defence.

But it does not change the fact that Pompey need a centre-half urgently.

Another good finish from Adrian Segecic was pleasing to see as was a perfectly-weighted pass from Conor Chaplin - his future should be resolved shortly.

This Pompey side keep battling. There were some tired bodies at the end of the match who will be relieved the South Coast derby is not until Sunday.

Further reinforcements are urgently needed although Ebou Adams and Millenic Alli have already made very positive contributions.
