Nathan Thompson

The latest Pompey news, updates every day from the Pompey Sound News Desk.

Former Portsmouth defender Nathan Thompson has been reflecting on Pompey's attacking issues during their 1-0 loss to Hull City on Saturday and thinks the problem lies with positioning.

When you were seeing the ball going wide, the bodies in the box, it tended to be just Colby Bishop in there, Thompson told BBC Radio.

That becomes very easy as a defender to mark if you've only got one guy to worry about.

When you are getting in the wide areas, you need bodies in the box, and that just wasn't happening on Saturday.

The loss means the gap between Portsmouth and the relegation zone remains a nerve-wracking five points.

However, Thompson is not worried about the side's potential for survival.

The manager will be disappointed from Saturday but ultimately he will go, there's certain stuff we can work with here that will give us a real chance, he said.

Two weeks ago the back-to-back wins gave them a really good opportunity in many ways.

My future?

That's a big question.

Where?

When?

How?

Close future or far future?

My future at Pompey is right now, I'm on loan here until the end of the season.

However that may look come the start of next season, we'll have to cross that bridge once it gets there.

Of course it's something you always think about, but you can only focus on now, and try to do the best job you can do now.

Whatever happens God willing we'll see from there.

I don't know what Luton think, I haven't had any of those conversations, we're going to find out what they have planned for me.
