Hart: We still need points

Sun 10 May, 11:28 AM


Portsmouth manager Paul Hart wants more points on the board as soon as possible to ease any lingering fears of relegation.

Pompey have lost the winning habit and substitute John Utaka missed a penalty in the second half of Saturday`s 2-0 defeat at Blackburn.

Hart said: "It was certainly our worst performance since February. We`ve been creating a lot of chances recently but not finishing them off.

"It was a timely reminder in this division you cannot take your foot off the pedal. We want to be mathematically safe as soon as possible."

  2. In reply to Tasdeon - I agree Utaka is a waste of space­ and needs to go. 4-4-2 has always been our best­ formation, and i'm surprised Paul Hart hasn't­ given Nugent or Gekas a chance to play alongside­ Crouchy. I don't think we need a new manager next­ season. Paul Hart was brought in to stop us going down,­ so sometimes the pretty football has to be sacrificed.­ He has made some mistakes in team selection and­ formation,i agree, but, apart from the debacle against­ Blackburn, we have looked quite solid at the back. I­ think Brian Kidd has made a huge difference as well, so­ i would like to see him stay as well. Come on Pompey,­ lets make sure of safety this weekend. Roll your­ sleeves up and fight for your wages!

  3. John Utaka plainly needs to go. He is possibly the­ worst player ever to pull on a Pompey shirt in recent­ years. He reminds me a lot of Lua Lua, lazy, sulky and­ thick.

  4. I believe Paul Hart and Brian Kidd are a good­ combination and are doing the best they can but if the­ players under perform and proceed to frustrate the­ managers intentions by playing like amatuers (or silly­ buggers). The Fratton Park performances this year in­ front of their own passionate fans have been a big big­ letdown. Only 2 games left to get it right. Stay Up­ Pompey.

  5. Pompey were simply woeful on Saturday. Looks like they­ could'nt score even if they had the ball on the­ opposition's goal line they would somehow manage to­ miss it. Other teams are scoring from free kicks 20 to­ 35 yards out and we cant even convert a penalty. Tense­ times ahead. Time for the players to stand up and be­ counted.
