Fulham 3-1 Pompey

Well this has to be the last big defeat for Pompey, not that it will be our last . But we must start scoring goals it's ok playing well and having lots of possession, but our defence and strike force are letting us down. This loss was not expected a point for me was on the cards, this is not good enough. So I hope with the new recruits on board we can just get out of this mess. I hope for a bwtter result against Liverpool.

Portsmouth manager Tony Adams:
"I do my job to the best of my ability. It has been a tough period. The last two months have been difficult both on and off the pitch.

"I'll be delighted when the transfer window closes. Heads have been turned up and down the country. Once it is closed we can get on with business.

"We made mistakes. We gambled on offsides. It is disappointing because we worked hard in training on that."

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson:
"They are a good team and playing quite well. I am sure if they continue to do that they won't be losing every match 3-1.

"There is no magic wand in this game. It is work in the end which brings its rewards and, of course, the quality of the players you have at your disposal.

"I was pleased by the solidity of our performance and delighted by the runs of our front players to get in behind their defenders."
