Portsmouth midfielder Papa Bouba Diop has urged his team-mates to turn Fratton Park into a fortress ahead of Saturday's clash with Everton.Pompey have gone three games without a win on home soil after a Carling Cup defeat to Blackburn and Premier League draws with West Ham and Manchester City.

In contrast, their away form has been sublime, five consecutive league victories helping rocket Harry Redknapp's side up the table into sixth place.

And despite remaining unbeaten at home in the league this term, the former Fulham man wants visiting teams to have the fear factor again.

"If we want to stay where we are in the table then we need to pick up points home and away," he told the club's official website.

"Sometimes when you go away you might be happy to take a point but when we are at home then we definitely want to win."
