'˜It's a tight ground and there'll be a passionate atmosphere I'm sure.
'˜As ever, we will have to work very, very hard for any points we get out of Saturday.Â
'˜I do (expect Pompey to respond positively).
'˜We have good character and a good attitude in our group.
'˜I don't want that to fall away, particularly as we go into what's perceived as the winter months.
'˜But I'm confident in our players. We'll have a positive attitude and my players will be up for it.
'˜After that, we'll have to get the detail right to get the points.'
