Portsmouth fans were the focus of a 55-picture gallery following the team's latest Championship outing. Club photographer Jason Brown captured the supporters in the stands during the 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers at Fratton Park on Saturday.
The result leaves Portsmouth 18th in the table with eight points from seven games. They are nine points adrift of leaders Swansea and have won just one of their last five matches. The point was secured by a late Colby Bishop equaliser, cancelling out earlier strikes from Zak Swanson and Blackburn's Oladapo Afolayan and Ryoya Morishita. The late goal came in the 87th minute, a key moment in a game where the team had trailed for 65 minutes of the contest.
Brown's work highlights the vocal backing the team received throughout the contest. The images document the crowd's reaction to key moments in a match that saw Pompey fight back twice.
John Mousinho's side now look ahead to a two-week break before the next fixture, a south coast derby away to Southampton on 11 October. The squad will be without the injured Josh Murphy and Luke Brooke-Smith for that trip. Fans can check the full upcoming schedule on the club's fixtures page and view the current standings.

Portsmouth face an anxious wait over Conor Shaughnessy's fitness after the defender suffered a groin injury. Manager John Mousinho confirmed the issue, stating, "Shocks just felt his groin, I don't know what that's going to be, it doesn't look terrible." The club, currently 19th in the Championship with 8 points, lost Shaughnessy in the 63rd minute of the 2-2 draw with Blackburn. He was replaced by Regan Poole. This concern follows Benjy Arthur's long-term injury. The squad has a break before facing Southampton on 11 October.
