Stone: Away blues must end

With just six goals and no away wins on their travels, and with home games against Man Utd and Arsenal to come, Steve Stone told Football Focus: "If we don't win one away game we will be starring relegation in the face, it's as simple as that.

"Somewhere along the line we need to win four or five games out of the nine and it's got to happen away from home.

"We play the same way away from home as we do at home, we don't change anything at all. Results just haven't gone for us. But I'm sure it will come for us before the end of the season."

Portsmouth have four away games remaining. At Blackburn and Charlton, and two crucial games with feloow strugglers Leeds and Leicester.
