Well a game we should off won, but at least we had a point and came from behind, but we could of done with a win!
The pub was a nice one if a bit empty, only for a locals baby in a chair who seemed to enjoy dropping everything on the floor, as we left more children arrived so it must of been the baby's birthday.
The home side took the lead through Younes Kaboul who fired high into the net from 12 yards.
West Brom equalised after the break when Jonathan Greening placed his six-yard shot past a helpless David James.
The Baggies then took the lead when Chris Brunt smashed in a free-kick from 25 yards before Niko Kranjcar's 30-yard strike won Pompey a precious point.
For Paul Hart's men, who began the day three points off the relegation zone, the point will improve immensely valuable but bottom-of-the-table West Brom will feel they missed a huge chance to gain a priceless win.
So it's Bolton next we must win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pompey boss Paul Hart:
"We didn't play well today and it would be wrong to say otherwise, but we've come out of it with a draw.
"We've moved up two places and 10 points from seven games is the best run we've had since October.
"We're not sprinting our way over the line, we're crawling. But if that's what we need to do then we'll crawl."
West Brom manager Tony Mowbray:
"We've been here for a long time. We need to win at Manchester City and get on with it.
"The fans deserve a team that is playing for them right until the death and I think they are getting that.
"The desire and the commitment of the players is clearly still there."
