Gaffer: You can't be critical of 4-0 Portsmouth win, but we shouldn't be measuring ourselves against Northampton

Gaffer for a Day, James Robbins, aged 26 from Petersfield, delivers his verdict on Pompey’s 4-0 triumph over Sunderland...

So James, has your stance towards Kenny Jackett softened a little?

Not at all, we still need to get rid of him. Two good performances in a row doesn’t change facts.

It doesn’t erase two abysmal play-off semi-finals, it doesn’t erase the football which has mostly been like watching paint dry during his tenure.

Whether this turnaround has been through Jackett or players, I don't know. Perhaps there was a Michael Doyle-esqe speech among the players at one point?

The manager has changed the formation and credit where it's due, you have to give him praise. But my view on him will not change.

Didn’t you enjoy it, though?

You cannot be too critical of a 4-0 win. We were clinical, controlled the game and it was as comfortable victory as I have seen in League One.

However, we didn’t get out of third gear. We never needed to, so I wouldn’t make a song and dance over the size of the scoreline.
