But the Pompey boss admitted he felt the game was in doubt after a second-half stoppage as a blizzard descended on Boundary Park.
After a nine-minute delay, referee Seb Stockbridge continued with the game and the Blues went on to secure their 2-0 success.

‘In the second half we could have won it by more.
‘The ref couldn’t see the (pitch) lines and wanted them cleared.
‘You could clear them in a five or 10-minute period, but if it had continued in those circumstances it would have been difficult to play.
‘But we came through it without an excellent result and clean sheet.’
