John Trewick has praised the second half performance of his side at Fratton Park and was pleased that Tristan Plummer was able to get his name on the score-sheet.
"I'm pleased for him getting himself a goal," Trewick told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I'm not wholly convinced about the penalty decision but hopefully that might be the start of a little bit of luck for us.
"I thought the character of the players was very very good in the second half, credit to them for that."
The Hereford United manager also had a few words for the supporters.
"I thought the supporters were fanastic. They've come down here to enjoy the evening. We're just sorry we didn't really give them a massive amount to shout about because of the goals we conceded fairly early in the game.
"The noise level, the support they gave the team, I just thought it was exceptional tonight"
One of the better chants heard after Adam Bartlett had brought off a decent save was 'are you watching David James'.
Another was 'That shirt's from Matalan' aimed at some young Pompey fans.
The Stadium looked as though it had seen better days.
The new orange kit is certainly eye-catching.
Disappointing turnout from the Pompey supporters.
