Portsmouth’s hopes of automatic promotion out of League One took another hit on Tuesday night as they slumped to a 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers at Fratton Park.

Kenny Jackett’s side have now failed to win any of their last five league fixtures, a run which has included four consecutive draws. 

Pompey went one goal down in the first half on Tuesday, when Tom Naylor fouled Jonson Clarke-Harris to concede a penalty. A second penalty could have given Rovers victory too, but Clarke-Harris failed to convert his second spot kick after Jamal Lowe pulled down James Clarke in the box.

The 24-year-old winger has struggled to produce his best form in recent weeks and his toils continued on Tuesday.  The Englishman has had a fine campaign so far, racking up ten goals and six assists, as per Transfermarkt’s stats. However, he now looks like he could do with some time out of the firing line.

After the match, plenty of Portsmouth fans took to Twitter to criticise Lowe’s display…
