Hart reading nothing into early form
Portsmouth boss Paul Hart believes it is too early to view his side's Premier League basement battle with Bolton as a relegation six-pointer.
The teams clash at Fratton Park on Saturday afternoon searching for their first points of the season.
Pompey's start to the campaign has been severely hampered by Sulaiman Al-Fahim's protracted takeover of the club, while the likes of Sylvain Distin and Niko Kranjcar left in the closing days of the transfer window.
But with his team just four games into their Premier League season, Hart believes talk of relegation is somewhat premature. And despite Portsmouth and Bolton propping up the table, he is not placing any extra significance on Saturday's game.
Hart said: "Wherever we were and whether we have 12 points, nine points or no points, Bolton will always be an extremely tough game.
Where we are in the league makes no difference and you can't say whether relegation is upon us or not five games in.
"Three points is what we are after and whether it's Bolton or Man United, we'd still be looking for a win in this situation. I'd rather concentrate on our position than Bolton's, and the onus is on us to go out and grab three points."
