Portsmouth 0-0 Bristol City

So we stared our defence of the F.A. Cup at home to Bristol City, and it will have to go to a replay as we could not break them down.

Despite the lack of goals there was plenty of goalmouth action with both sides creating a hatful of chances.

David Nugent and Peter Crouch went close for the hosts, while defender Sylvain Distin forced Adriano Basso into a fine save after half an hour.

After the break, Niko Kranjcar headed wide when it looked easier to score and fired straight at Basso soon afterwards.

While defending admirably, City had created nothing of note until Orr met Stern John's cross with 20 minutes to go and forced a flying save out of James.
