I just get on with my job, do the best I can and look after the players - and hope that produces results.[LNB]"I can't look too far ahead, I can't allow that to happen."[LNB]Pompey picked up their first points of the season against Wolves last weekend, and Hart revealed he was pleased to hear he had been given a vote of confidence from Storrie.[LNB]"Those things are good to hear," he added.[LNB]"I've been at clubs before when I have gone through all the tough bits and then it goes the other way. I know it's still that way, probably."[LNB]
