A copy of last week, where Portsmouth started very well and deservedly led, but in the end were comfortably beaten.
However, this loss was self-inflicted. Portsmouth fell apart at the end of the first half and those goals will be tough to watch back when the match is reviewed.
QPR do not have anywhere near the quality West Ham possessed last week.
Ebou Adams and Rocco Shein both want to play in a similar way. They are not a natural midfield pairing and would both be better off with a defensive midfielder alongside them. Pompey intend to sign one before the transfer deadline.
Positives were few, but Josh Murphy reminded everyone of his class in his brief cameo and Ryan Kavuma-McQueen showed some bright touches.
Portsmouth struggled to break down sides who sat back against them at Fratton Park last season. On this showing, a solution has not materialised over the summer.
