His critical evaluation followed a 1-0 loss to fellow struggling Plymouth Argyle, as Michael Obafemi’s late goal proved to be the game-winning goal. After 14 games, that loss puts Portsmouth at the bottom of the Championship, and they must turn things around quickly to avoid being sent straight back to League One. Although it was generally expected that Pompey would be the best of the promoted…
