| Match Summary | Burrows has pledged to resign if Pompey don’t go up and his team respond. Terriers’ haven’t lost in eight, but once Brisley’s alertness finishes Aizlewood’s flick it’s over. Gregory ends a lean spell with two smartly-taken goals, then Rankin punches Rogers’ corner onto Cowling’s head. Surely Pompey can escape the hell that is Division Four now. |
