Paul Cook says Pompey must impose themselves on Plymouth like they imposed themselves on Leyton Orient.

The Blues boss was delighted by the commitment to the cause his players showed in winning at the Matchroom Stadium.

He said it was one of his biggest wins as Pompey boss - and now wants more of the same when his team visit the league leaders this weekend.

Cook told The News: ‘This was a big game for me as manager of Portsmouth Football Club. I showed my trust in my players and, to a man, they gave me everything. But if we want to keep pace with sides we had to get a result.

‘We feel we are a good team in this league, but we need to be staying around that top five or higher. If we were to lose to Orient it would have just brought that little bit of added pressure. We don’t want to lose pace with the pacesetters.’

Cook added: ‘This week we worked hard in training, really hard, on how we want to play. ‘We imposed ourselves on Orient. That’s what we want and that’s what we’ll be trying to do at Home Park.’
