After a spluttering start to the campaign, Pompey now look like serious automatic promotion contenders, having now won seven successive games and only lost twice in their past 22 matches in all competitions.

Last 22 games: W15 D5 L2. We beat a side tonight with a very good home record, who have seen off many of the better sides in the league at home already this season.
