10-man Portsmouth battled hard to earn a point at the KC Stadium but could have left with all three if luck was on their side.Whilst the result does little damage to the two sides fight for survival, fans on either side will be thinking, wondering and pondering whether their side should have bitten the bullet and played with a more attacking approach.Pompey fans in particular will be feeling these emotions after manager Paul Hart made only one change from the side that was victorious against Everton a fortnight ago. Richard Hughes Glen Perkins Jersey replaced the injured Sean Davis, starting alongside another defensively minded midfielder Hayden Mulllins.In a game of few chances, it could have been described as a high tempo affair but with both sides lacking that final end product. Both managers will be unsure whether to consider the end result to be a point gained or two points lost.The best chance of the game came in the dying minutes Jose Berrios Jersey , with Icelandic defender Hermann Hreidar son connecting with a Nadir Belhadj free-kick, only to see his header bounce off the inside of the post.Glen Johnson of all players was the man to be sent off for Pompey, after receiving a dubious second yellow card for an innocuous challenge on Hull winger Dean Marney Bert Blyleven Jersey .The England international received his first yellow card for kicking out at Guinean defender Kamil Zayatte. Many Hull fans believed the former Chelsea player should have been off minutes later for a crude challenge on Brazilian playmaker Geovanni. However the Pompey favourite only received a harsh warning from referee Chris Foy.One of Hulls best chances of the game fell to Manucho who then was unable to convert cleanly with a cro s provided by former Bolton Wanderers player, Bernard Mendy, instead volleying over from close range.David James was forced into action early in the second half, having to rush to the edge of his area to produce a point-blank save against Hull forward, Craig Fagan.Local boy Nick Barmby nearly produced a winner whilst at the same time nearly scoring his 100th goal but was unable to produce a powerful enough Kyle Gibson Jersey header.Soon afterwards, the player I stated to watch out for in the preview, David Nugent, wasted a good opportunity for Portsmouth by heading over the bar after connecting with Peter Crouchs cro s.Johnsons dubious sending off would have perhaps had many Pompey fans worried but after Joe Mauer Jersey some mild pre sure from the Hull frontline, Portsmouth managed to hold in and nearly nick it at the end with a Herminator header.Pompey now remain unbeaten on the road in their last three league outings under new manager Paul Hart and will be looking to capitalise on this result by picking up an important three points this weekend against West Bromwich Albion.
