Although a point isn't all that bad with four points between us and the relegation zone - providing Stoke beat Newcastle this afternoon.
With 10-15 minutes to go we were trying so hard to score and get that all crucial winner which may have seen us not be so nervous in the last remaining fixtures, but Hart refused to stick on that much needed second striker on until injury time.
I think Hart and Kidd have done a tremendous job, and especially with tightening up our defence, but we needed that goal so much, and with Kanu, Utaka and Gekas all on the bench, why did Hart wait until the last two minutes of injury time to stick him on?
I think Theofanis Gekas could have sneaked that crucial goal, with the Macheda affect from United's win against Villa and Sunderland! He had a good bit of support after he came on, and would definitely be buzzing after making a first but small appearance in the Premier League.
What is the point in getting the guy on loan until the end of the season and not play him. Yes admittedly it was Tony Adams who brought him in, but he's there to be used.
Let's just focus on Bolton next week, another home game which we should win, even though they just put Chelsea to a very close 4-3 drilling after being 4-0 down.
Taylor and O'Brien returning to Fratton Park, will surely have a big influence, although you have to feel they are out of the relegation running, so may not be going all out, with Pompey welcoming the returns of Glen Johnson and Super Sean Davis!
Well at least we're not four points off safety in the Championship with administration worries and a board that can't stop chickening out of the problems!
I for one, am looking forward to seeing these 'goal of the season' style goals on Match Of the Day tonight, seen as I couldn't make it down to Fortress Fratton this weekend.
