Don't want to sound too negative but don't think we'll win playoffs with the likes of Blackpool and Sunderland in. All about next season for me #pompey

Anyone would think we’ve just dropped down to the relegation zone. It happens, learn from it and move on. #Pompey

Not our day. Playoff race is on. Quick turnaround. Dust it off and go again Tuesday. Every game big coming up. #pup @Pompey

Well it had to happen. A defeat. now it's time to get back on her feet and get 3 points at Crewe on Tuesday play up Pompey

@pompey_goals

Fair play to Burton came with a plan and stuck to it. 2nd goal was never a free kick but that’s football. Good to see us finish strong and pushing for equaliser. Probably proof we are a play off team and no more #pompey

FT | 1-2 | A late flourish from #pompey but not enough to break down this stubborn Burton defence. Not clinical enough in the final third, but Marquis back on Tuesday will be a big boost to the side. @PompeyNewsNow

@TBFpompey

Love the Cowleys done more for us in 4 games then Jackett for 4 years! #Pompey

@CheeesyChips

All defeat today has done has ended the very little chance we had of getting top 2, definitely at least 5 games left we should win, play offs incoming…
