Summary
Portsmouth Football Club secures a hard-fought point against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 1-1 draw at Molyneux, marking their seventh point from the last nine available in the Championship. Terry Devlin's late equalizer salvages the match after Jordan James opened the scoring for Wolves in the second half.

Manager John Massino praises the team's resilience, especially given their injury struggles and a thin squad. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards and the need for the squad to convert tight matches into wins.
