Pompey can give themselves a platform for next season by maintaining their fine home form in Fratton Park's final two matches of the season.

So says Clark Robertson, who wants the Blues to secure victories over Gillingham and Wigan - which would make it eight victories from their final 10 home matches.

Robertson has spoken to the club media to praise the role of the supporters in helping to make Fratton somewhere that other sides dread visiting.

The skipper told the club website: 'We’re now unbeaten in the past eight games here, with six victories and two draws. It’s important that we carry that on and into next season — we want to make the ground a real fortress.

'Since the end of January, we’ve been on a decent run and have collected almost two points per game. That’s promotion form, so things have come together and you can see there’s a real team spirit building here.

'We’ve probably been a lot of better at reacting to falling behind than we were earlier on in the season. The supporters have also been excellent and stuck with us throughout. That’s been really important to us.

'We were pegged back at Lincoln after being two goals ahead, but they were still singing and supporting us.'
