Wolves 1 Portsmouth 1: Neil Allen’s verdict – Rested and rotated, yet gutsy Blues earn late point

Portsmouth earned a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux after a late equalizer from Terry Devlin. Head coach John Mousinho heavily rotated his starting lineup to manage fatigue, resting key regulars including Marlon Pack and Zak Swanson. Following a goalless first half, substitute Jordan James broke the deadlock for Wolves in the 61st minute, capitalizing on a defensive turnover.

Neil Allen writes that Portsmouth showed resilience despite the extensive squad changes, bouncing back after falling behind. Devlin struck an 86th-minute volley from the edge of the penalty area following a deflected free-kick to secure the point. The result keeps Portsmouth 13th in the Championship and extends their record to just one loss in seven matches.
