Will we struggle next year? With this exact team, yes of course but it's going to be another big off season for recruitment, so I really don't think it's worth even mentioning until we know what league we are in.
On the game...
Thought it was a really exciting advert for League 1 (I wish all games were that standard) Two teams going for it, albeit with slightly different approaches. The quality on show was impressive considering the conditions and magnitude of the game.
We absolutely held our own, possibly conceded too much possession and territory in the second half but I don't think it was the wrong tactic given the circumstances.
Think the criticism of Wildsmith is unfair, tricky conditions and a couple of decent stops. Also responsible for points in the last few games. We look better with him in the sticks than Vickers for me.
We absolutely have to back it up now with a win against Wycombe, hopefully the walking wounded can get some rest and fitness back in their legs. Huge 4 games.

By any metric that was a good point away against the top team in this division. We didn’t look outclassed and it took a wonderstrike for them to get level. Yes we played well within ourselves second half and perhaps could have been a bit more attack minded but not many other teams have gone there and taken points recently so I’m happy.
It’s in our hands now. Bolton/Peterboro/Barnsley are going to drop points before the end of the season so keep the faith.

Pompey were on a decent home run and it took a very good goal to beat us. Well done Derby.

I think the reason why @Bris Vegas post has rubbed people up the wrong way is 2 fold. 
1) the timing of it
2) deep down people know it’s accurate
 
We have done well to get ourselves into this position with 4 left to play despite the injuries. The recent run we went on to completely turn it around and go from play offs to automatic hopefuls was really impressive. 
 
BUT our performances against the better sides this season will see us struggle in the championship. The gulf between this league and the one above is huge. Warne comfortably got Rotherham up 3 times to then be relegated 3 times. We need probably 12 new signings to even compete up there and none of us truly know where we stand financially and what our budget will allow. 
 
I don’t think Bris is wumming I just think his opinions came at a time people wanted to celebrate. It’s acceptable to say this would be a relegation scrap next year in a higher division. 
 
I like Warne but he’s done nothing to show he can be successful in the division above despite going up with the best team in league 1. We’ve not even got that luxury!! 
 
Anyway up the rams! A nervy last 4 but put ourselves into a great position. I hope it’s wrapped up before Carlisle so we can have a party atmosphere. 

I think Bris has been very consistent this season that we will go up. He was saying it around November iirc.

Still seems like a good point this morning. No, not the draw against Pompey. Bris’s viewpoint that we will struggle next season 😂  Lighten up you guys. It’s one Mexican’s opinion. No need for a stand-off.

That’s two good/determined and disciplined games in a row after Northampton.
lots to be happy with and relieved  Collo can play 60 mins plus we will need him against Wycombe  
CBT is helping the team whilst NML goes through a spell of less impactful form 
if we can get those two performing well at the same time 
The only posts that have distracted me from feeling good about the point gained tonight have been those that have been a little bit OTT
one poster in particular i felt over did it with the expletives. I like that our forum doesn’t really have swear words .. at least not aggressively directed at another poster anyway 
Bris hasn’t dampened any of my enjoyment and I’m surprised others have allowed him to seemingly dampen there’s. I don’t like censorship and I don’t like .. self appointed policing (not talking about mods)
whilst I don’t agree with all he says @Caerphilly Ram is an example to us all regarding staying polite/ respectful and objective (most of the time 😂)when messaging with those who propose a view that he doesn’t share.
 
Ebou Adams well played
Corey Smith really good input over the past 5 or so games since his return
great that I’m feeling a touch of disappointment with a draw when I would have bitten your arm off for a point pre kick off
Please let us go up via the automatics and please let it not go to the last game of the season (I think we all know it will!) 
nelshin player(s) of the season for me

Hope you good people make it back .✊

Probably the best away support I’ve seen at Fratton park this season. Draw was probably a fair result and I’d have taken that if you offered it to me before the game.
 
Safe journey back gents if you’re heading back tonight. I have a four hour plus drive to Norfolk now 🤣🙊. 

Back home…
Excellent performance. Points from me:
- adventurous line up. Well done Warne.
- CBT, superb. Keep this up in the last four games and this is a new player for us.
- Adams, incredible force in the middle. If he had a passing range, well, he wouldn’t be in L1
- Ward - pleased for him. First goal super finish, second he got a good break 
- Wildsmith - having watched the goal back, does he have a weakness on long range shots (thinking Stevenage as well). He has to do better and stop that. I don’t think he’s as good as he or is think he is.
- The fans - we were incredible. Loud from the get go. Quieter second half as expected with their pressure.
There was a point in the first half though when just about all four stands were jumping around if you’re going up (or whatever the phrase is). It was awesome to see.
Portsmouth are good. It felt like a Championship quality game as well. 

Overall,  very satisfied as wasn’t expecting anything.

The content i largely agree with, but the timing...

Calling Jack Marriott a £5m dud. It was harsh admittedly. I’m glad he has gone on to have a good career.

Surely every post in here is an opinion?
X had a good game tonight.
That’s a good point.
Warne’s subs were poor.
Thompson looked lively.
Wildsmith has to do better there.
Warne deserves credit tonight.
Pretty much everyone’s statements in here are opinions. Mine too. It would look a bit tedious if you have to write IMO after every line.
Opinions are fine as long as they aren’t insulting anybody.

So do I, everyone is pleased with the point but to pile in on someone for their opinion is pathetic.

I'm not on here every hour that God sends so I wouldn't know, but even so who's to say that he's not being sincere this time? And everyone can just ignore him. That is within the capability of all other members of the forum, surely?
I'm sorry, but I just don't think declaring people to have sad lives is in keeping with the modern spirit of 'being kind'.

For all the outrage, without proper surgery to either team (and even then) this is most likely to be correct. 
Ipswich have done well, but there is a drastic difference between what we saw from them and ourselves (and Portsmouth). Fortunately, I feel that the management and club are very much aware that is the case and will do what is required to be as competitive as possible. 
Sheffield Wednesday last season were a better team than both of us, and they weren’t great, they’re in a relegation battle. Plymouth, also, in a relegation battle. We have to respect what we are walking into, should we get promoted. 

Bit harsh, if he gets us up it will be our first promotion in nearly 20 years!

I don't really know, but I would say that declaring someone to have a sad life is a bit harsh when you've (probably) never met them. It's difficult to ascertain the motivation of people from the odd post. You might be right, I don't know, but the simple thing to do is ignore it. If you're right he will get bored and stop.
I'm not on this forum often enough to know if he's winding people up or not - I have much more important things to do with my life than attend this thing every hour - but it strikes me that you can just ignore what you don't like.

Even if we won tonight, Pompey to beat Bolton all day long!
I really couldn't care less about catching Portsmouth, I guarantee you that come around 14:30 on Saturday 27th April, if we are sitting in 2nd place, not one single part of me will be disappointed we didn't win the league.
Get us up, get us out of this league, 2nd will be perfect thank you.

I think this is a bit harsh. Perhaps it's his honest opinion?

Why? I think my points are valid. I’m confident we’ll get promoted and have been for a while.
I’m confident we would struggle with Warne as manager in the Championship.
Surely I’m allowed an opinion 🤷‍♂️

Yes dont care about title just want to go up

Thing I liked most about that is none of the players looked phased by the occasion or atmosphere. Tough ground to go to and we come away with a point. Take that to Wycombe.
