Portsmouth boss Paul Hart is sure his side can begin to climb up the table after a spirited 1-0 defeat to Everton.[LNB]Louis Saha struck just before the break to seal the points but Pompey went close a number of times in the closing stages as they looked for their first point of the season.[LNB]"We played tremendously well, creating really good chances in the first half and in the second we should have scored," said Hart.[LNB]"But with a spirit and performance like that, I thought the players were fantastic.[LNB]"We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot but if we retain that spirit and continue to work like that we'll turn it around.[LNB]"The players have been excellent and I don't see any reason why they won't keep that going."
