'A week is a long time in football'

Portsmouth fan Tom Chappell says the 1-0 win at Norwich City - a first away win with a clean sheet of the season - was a triumph.

Portsmouth players celebrate their win at Norwich City

I think a win with a clean sheet away from home is one of the hardest things to come by in the Championship, so to have achieved both for the first time this season is a real triumph.

Prior to the 1-0 victory at Norwich City on Saturday, the last time we managed to do so was at Middlesbrough back in April.

Seven days ago, we were a fanbase and a football club on the floor.

Fast forward a week and John Mousinho's side have put together back-to-back wins and now sit just three points outside of the play-offs.

The age-old cliche first applied to politics couldn't be more fitting for us at this moment in time. A week is, indeed, a long time in football.

Alongside a number of outstanding individual contributions on Saturday, it might perhaps sound cynical to suggest that had referee Gavin Ward not pointed to the spot following a challenge on Abu Kamara, the game may well have dwindled into a 0-0 snooze fest.

Jojo Dia just gets better and better, Iyad Mohamed plucked an hour-long performance for the ages, and Marezi remains undeniable from 12 yards so far in a blue shirt.

While this was against a Norwich side who created very little, bar a denial from one of the posts - and a more robust side probably would have punished Pompey on the day - that makes it two away wins from five.

Pompey can travel in confidence to Molineux to take on Wolves on Tuesday for the first time since they visited while in the Premier League in 2009, looking to right the wrongs of previous midweek away trips.
