| Match Summary | Boro battle after a 1-6 loss at Preston, but Reid pinches it, finishing a move started by Dickinson. Just beforehand Spuhler’s header grazed a post as ponderous Pompey failed to clear. The attack needs more ‘snap’ if the team is to be a force concluded ‘Ranger’ in the Evening News. |
