I'm coming round to thinking that if you don't know how to support Pompey, go and support somebody else.

We don't want you.

You're allowed to express concern, but booing the team is borderline sick.

So don't do it.

Find some other way.

Please.

It didn't have the desired effect.

Don't pretend to yourself, don't kid yourself, the boo merchants, that your booing is what turned Pompey round in the second half.

It isn't.

What turned Pompey round is John Massino going to his little office at Fratton Park, and I've been, and it is a tiny office with no windows, to have a few moments by himself to consider what he was going to say to the players.

And whatever it was he said, it worked.

It worked big time because that second half performance, you know, crowned off by those two fantastic goals.

I mean, copybook goals, match of the day goals.

They really were, was really hopeful for us.

And if we can keep it up, anything like that.

When we go to Derby and indeed through towards January and the window and then the rest of the season, then of course we're going to be safe.

There are no easy games in the Championship, but then we're good enough to make one or two teams or three or four teams look ordinary or even less than ordinary.

And that's what we did to Blackburn, frankly.

They weren't very good.

They squandered so many passes.
