Portsmouth boss left frustrated by Charlton postponement

Kenny Jackett was left frustrated as Portsmouth’s League One fixture at Charlton Athletic was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Referee Robert Madley decided the match could not go ahead after a 2pm pitch inspection.

Jackett said: “It’s frustrating because we were at the ground and ready to go. The referee’s opinion is that that pitch isn’t playable and it’s not going to improve.

“The forecast is for more heavy rain until around 4.30pm – and possibly longer – so it’s going to get progressively worse.

“It’s an experienced referee who has made the call and so we have to accept that decision.

“You do wonder when some of these games are going to be fitted in and what the pitches are going to be like when they are.

“We certainly won’t be doing anything today, but we’ll have a think and might do some work tomorrow.”
