Gallen: Three points all that matters to Pompey
The Blues collected their seventh win in eight matches following a comfortable triumph over League One’s bottom club.

Gallen said: ‘We are looking for this season to be successful and if that’s the case in May we’ll be looking at some of these scrappy 1-0 wins along the way.

We are desperate to improve our tally of scoring goals from set-pieces, last week O’Keefe scored or Magennis - they are still arguing about it - but it was Gareth’s delivery.
‘Today was another excellent delivery and in the first half he had some very good deliveries too, we just didn’t quite get on the end of it.
‘It was a bullet header from Matt Clarke, typical of those sort of games. All that matters are the three points.’
