'Work to do before facing Tigers'

And the winner for the biggest anti-climax goes to…..

It was the most hotly-anticipated south coast derby for 14 years, the last time the fierce rivals met. This one, however, failed to deliver on the hype and they played out a drab and disappointing 0-0 draw.

The first half saw Saints register just one shot on target, which led Will Still to admit: "We wasted everyone's time".

Portsmouth, arguably, were the better side and managed seven shots. The closest, when Andre Dozzell smashed Gavin Bazunu's bar from just outside the box.

Saints picked up their efforts slightly in the second half.
