They have some world-class players and we have to guard against that. But it is not like we are going to go out there and start putting up the shutters. When we can play we will play.[LNB]"You only have to look at last weekend's results to see some strange things can happen at this stage of the season. Titles are won and lost at this time of the year.[LNB]"We believe we can win football matches and as long as we are resilient and stay strong defensively, we do not fear anyone."[LNB]Hart and assistant Brian Kidd look certain to remain in control until the end of the season after impressing Portsmouth owner Alexandre Gaydamak during their short time at the helm following Tony Adams' sacking.[LNB]Hart said: "I am just getting on with the job, working hard with the players and concentrating on trying to win games.[LNB]"There have been no talks whatsoever and I have not asked for any meetings or discussions."[LNB]Portsmouth have not beaten Chelsea since being promoted to the Premier League in 2003 and were thrashed 4-0 at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the season.[LNB]But captain Sol Campbell says there is a renewed confidence among the Pompey players since Hart and Kidd took control.[LNB]The England defender, among those pushing for the pair to be kept in charge, added: "The two results against Manchester City and Stoke have given us something to build on.[LNB]"I am confident things will continue to improve quickly. We are much more confident than we were a month ago and we have the winning mentality back.[LNB]"We have had a couple of good results but we are not going to get too carried away. Paul and Brian have made us aware of that.[LNB]"We are not out of the woods yet, even though we have taken four points from the last two games.[LNB]"We need to win three or four games out of the next seven to put daylight between us and the sides at the bottom. If we can do that we can really push on in the last five or six games.[LNB]"That is a target that is achievable because there is a real positive mentality running through the team." [LNB]
