Unacceptable on so many levels - Mousinho

Portsmouth manager John Mousinho said he was "absolutely furious" with his side following the 2-1 defeat at Preston North End.

"I can't believe what we did after getting the equaliser," he told BBC Radio Solent.

"Unacceptable on so many levels. I think I've been far too nice, far too kind for this team for far too long.

"That was absolutely awful what we did after working so hard to get back in the game.

"If you look at the build-up to the goal, they should have scored before that. We keep getting the press wrong, leaving our man, doing some of the world's silliest things.

"I constantly, constantly, constantly go on about fouling early, giving ourselves a chance to get back in it, but no we decide we think we can do better, we think we can do something else and the ball ends up in the back of the net.

"Same old message and it's not good enough. Once again we shot ourselves in the foot. Good reaction to going behind, awful reaction to getting the equaliser."
