'A stressful 90 minutes' - Mousinho
- Published
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho says the 5-3 win over Norwich was "stressful" but hopes his side take belief from it.
Colby Bishop's hat-trick and goals from Matt Ritchie and Regan Poole lifted Pompey six points above the relegation zone.
But Mousinho said he wasn't confident in the result even at the late stages of the game.
"It hasn't quite sunk in yet. It was quite a stressful 90 minutes for me," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.
"Even at 5-2 up with eight minutes to go, I still didn't feel secure, probably because of the position we are in. I am delighted and once it sinks in, I'll be more pleased, but we've got to go again tomorrow and make sure we are focussed again for Monday."
Mousinho wants his side to believe they can win more away games after just a second in 17 this season.
"We spoke before the about putting it all together. We've done it in patches in games but not consistent enough. We do deserve to be in the Championship and we've mixed it with every team here.
"The next stage is making sure we do it more often."
