Brown seeks way out of bottom three
Portsmouth midfielder Michael Brown is keen to see his side clear the Barclays Premier League relegation zone altogether, rather than just move off the bottom.[LNB]Victory over his old club Wigan at Fratton Park could be enough to lift the South Coast club away from the foot of the table. Paul Hart's team has taken just four points from their opening 10 games and are currently five adrift of 17th-placed Wolves.[LNB]While three points against the Latics would give Pompey a massive morale boost in their quest for survival, Brown is determined to use it as a stepping stone to safety.[LNB]He said: "To me, it's just another step closer to fourth bottom. I think that's where I'm aiming.[LNB]"Whether we're bottom, second bottom or third bottom doesn't matter to me. It's about bridging that gap to fourth bottom and we need some valuable points towards getting that.[LNB]"There is a long way to go. We are five points behind and there are 20-odd games to go. So we're far from adrift and there are some big games to come - Blackburn, Stoke and Wigan on Saturday as well. There are some great games against teams around us and that is where we have to do well."
