It's great.

support isn't it you know we've seen the full range of away support levels at Fratton this season haven't we we've seen some almost fill the fill the middle end and then we've seen some who've been tucked away in the corner and you thought oh thought they'd bring more but Pompey you know the ROA support is is pretty impressive in its number

they'll all go up there and um you know hopefully they'll have something to cheer yes so no don't surprise me they're becoming a little bit like and i'm proud of them for this they're becoming a little bit like um club football's barmy army yeah yes they are a bit yeah in a good way oh yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, there's a bit of a reputation, isn't there?

I think a host club knows if they're playing Pompey, they're going to get a good following coming up.

It's going to be a group that will make a noise, will support the team even if they're not playing that well, and will still be stood there at the end even if they've lost 1-0, and will applaud them off.

Yeah, they're a hardy lot.

Yeah, as I've said, it's a genuine six-pointer, isn't it?

I think because we've now lost our last two, the pressure's back on a little bit.

You look at that table down the bottom.

Blackburn have had a couple of wins.

I think they've won two of their last three, something like that.

They're one point behind us.

Goal difference is very similar.

If you offered me a draw now, I'd say yes, I'll take a draw and I don't want to play the game.

Because I think the important thing is not to lose.

If we lose that, we give a real advantage to Blackburn down there.

You're then starting to rely on West Brom and Leicester to stay below us, which I don't think you can...

I still think West Brom might be the ones to go, actually, but you can't depend on it.

They've got yet another new manager, haven't they?
