Portsmouth's John Mousinho on not eyeing an ideal points total, their 'unique' injury list, facing promotion rivals and harnessing Fratton Park's nervous energy.

Portsmouth might be leading the way at the top of League One by five points, with just seven games of the season remaining, but John Mousinho is still exercising caution. He is still only 14 months into his first managerial role, so that is perhaps to be expected. Promotions are not new to him - he achieved three in his playing career - but being the guiding light is. That is not his primary concern.

'The most important thing is to try and build success on keeping clean sheets,' adds Mousinho. 'We don't want to be negative and we don't think we're a negative side or a backwards side, but we do take pride in trying to not concede goals. 'If you can work off the back of that, it does make things a lot easier if you're not conceding and one goal wins it for you. 'We've had plenty of those narrow victories, plenty of 1-0s away, particularly recently.
