ANOTHER FORWARD WE BE RELOCATING BOLTON WANDERERS
With Pompey having conceded just 30 goals in 35 league games thus far, they have solidified the best defensive record in the third division, good for an astonishing 0.85 goals conceded per game this season.
Rafferty believes that because the Blues have been dealing with injuries, the amount of chopping and switching in the back line has made Mousinho’s team’s efforts to stop the scoring flow all the more remarkable.
“Sixteen is quite good,” he added. It’s quite impressive, particularly considering that our back four has undergone a lot of changes.
“I am aware that Will (Norris) has been in goal, but there have been numerous changes elsewhere, and the person who took over has done an excellent job.”
During the week, we work and pay close attention to the instructions we get. That’s because the midfielders and strikers are working hard as a team in addition to the back.
“Hopefully, we can reach 20 clean sheets by the end.” That could be sufficient, and it would be a good goal to achieve.
In front of 3,155 away supporters, Pompey drew a blank against Charlton after showcasing a remarkable cutting edge in previous weeks.
They wasted many of good chances in the first half, and when Myles Peart-Harris ran clear late in the game, Macaulay Gillesphey stopped him because he failed to squeeze the trigger.
Alfie May missed the mark in the first half, and Charlton struck the post early on, but Pompey’s defense as a whole was impressive.
Rafferty emphasized that in the end, organization might very well make a difference.
“I believe it was Alex Ferguson who said defenses win titles, but attacking wins games,” he continued.
