They didn't deserve to be 1-0 up, but there they were 1-0 up.

And we've got a mountain to climb because the statistics are that when we concede first, we hardly ever get anything out of the game.

And we haven't won a game where we conceded first this season.

We've only won four or five now.

So that statistic is hardly surprising.

However, we went in at half-time.

They had to endure that chorus.

It wasn't a huge booing chorus, but there were fans who felt that that needed saying.

I've never met any fans who do that.

I can understand it being almost an instinctive thing.

But what are you booing?

What do you think it's going to achieve?

Oh, it's beyond me.

Absolutely beyond me.

And like I say, I don't mean it because a Pompey fan is a Pompey fan and a friend.

But, you know, I find myself saying, if you don't like it, then go and support Bournemouth or Crawley or something.

Because it doesn't help.

That's what I'm saying.

The club don't need your money that much, frankly.

So let's remember that the business of being a supporter is to support, not to detract.
