Pompey Talk is back with Pompey's 3-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers prompting many questions. In this week's episode, Jordan Cross and Mark McMahon discuss the Blues' worrying away form, the players' response to adversity, John Mousinho's run-ins with refs and Pompey's obvious lack of depth. How serious the threat of relegation is, with the resources currently available to Mousinho, is also a key topic of conversation - as is Michael Eisner's now famous quote 'we are not going to be relegated. Period!' Is he going to regret that at the end of the season?

00:00Response to adversity is how you frame it and when they go down you can look at the confidence being brittle.
00:07I think it's something worth picking up on, it's something to approach with John to an extent
00:11and he accepts it's an area that they can look at that whole area when they do go behind them.
00:18When there's the sense of some unjust happening with Pompey, they've had quite a bit of it with the referees this season
00:24and they've had a case on a number of occasions.
00:26Watford being one that comes to mind, now Blackburn and others.
00:31Obviously there's some angst in it and it permeates from the sidelines
00:36and John Messina would be the first to make a point and argue his point to the officials and the fourth official.
00:42I just think can that permeate to the players? Do they then feel that sense of injustice?
00:48Does that then translate? Is that something that Pompey can look at?
00:52I'm not saying that's definitely the case, I think it's something that perhaps you can look at.
