Portsmouth away form 'more positive' - Mousinho

Portsmouth have worked hard to to improve their away form at the start of the Championship campaign, says boss John Mousinho.

Only relegated Plymouth (12) took fewer points on the road than Pompey's 14 last season where they also managed just three wins, but the head coach believes the turning point came after a 5-1 hammering at West Brom in January

"We tried to improve the away form and towards the back end of last season we did improve it, just not in terms of results but also with performances," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"It wasn't good enough, we still wanted to win but we never lost by more than a goal but then managed to turn the corner with a positive result at Norwich (5-3 win) and a point at Sheffield Wednesday."

Portsmouth visit Ipswich in the Championship on Saturday (15:00 BST) having gone unbeaten on their travels so far and Mousinho says it's not an accident.

"It's been a lot more positive at the start of this season with a couple of draws and a win at Oxford," he added.

"We've just tried to be more solid and we've got a defined identity out of possession which we didn't have at the start of last year so we want to try to build on that."
