Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho believes there is "loads to unpick" from his side's 6-1 loss at Queen's Park Rangers on Saturday.

Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho has said there is "loads to unpick" from his side's 6-1 loss at Queen's Park Rangers on Saturday. Mousinho was reflecting upon Pompey's 18th loss of the season which the stats would suggest was harsh on the visitors having registered more than double the number of Rangers shots and getting 33 touches inside the opposition box at Loftus Road. Two goals each though from Paul Smyth, Rayan Kolli and Richard Kone - with Portsmouth's sole goal coming from John Swift in the first half - mean the south coast club are now only one point above the relegation zone.

"We conceded three goals in quick succession really early on and they felt particularly poor today," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent. "There is loads to unpick, we know what we've produced today is nowhere near good enough and if you come away from any game losing by that margin you know there's a lot of soul searching to do. "Everybody has been talking in there but it's my responsibility with how we set the boys up today and what we've produced which is why head coaches get hired and why they're the ones that lose their jobs, and I need to take everything I've spoken about and heard in there and hopefully turn it into something positive.
