Portsmouth’s season went from bad to worse as a moment of skill from a Southampton loanee condemned them to defeat against Doncaster Rovers.
Josh Sims only joined Rovers yesterday, but after coming on as a second-half substitute, he created the only goal of the game for the home side. He jinxed down the flank and put the ball into the path of Reece James, who netted the only goal of the game on 79 minutes.
In a rather insipid game which had little quality, it was Doncaster who edged the first half, with Portsmouth struggling to get hold of the ball. The closest either side came to scoring was when defender Sean Raggett almost put into his own net, slicing a clearance wide.
Fejiri Okenabirhie did make Pompey keeper Craig MacGillivray work, drawing a save after the break, but neither side really looked like breaking the deadlock until James’ strike.

Jackett thought our defense held up well again; only the one goal.
The occasional back pass got caught by the wind and blown forward… someones in for a rollicking.

That was just awful …. After 3 yesrs in charge he has no idea of our best 11. Finally score 4 goajs then decide Harness needs to go out wide. We have absolutely no pattern of any play.
