After victory over Everton, Portsmouth boss Paul Hart says there can't be any slacking off as they continue to battle against the drop.

"Everybody in the squad is just getting their heads down and trying to get out of his mess," he said.

"We are just determined to focus on each game as it comes, and must not get too far ahead of ourselves."

Hart maintained: "If we take the foot off the pedal in this relegation battle, we will get a rude awakening.

"If you do not give each team the respect they deserve, and think you can just waltz around, then you will get your backsides felt.

"There will be no complacency from us because we cannot afford any."
