Hart praises resurgent Pompey
Hart also confirmed the outstanding wages owed to certain players and staff will be paid on Monday.[LNB]Pompey grabbed a 1-0 win at Wolves on Saturday thanks to a goal from on-loan Benfica midfielder Hassan Yebda.[LNB]Hart said: "The wages will be paid on Monday. I would expect the wages problem not to be happening again on the basis of the new investment.[LNB]"I think what is best said is over the next few days we will have new investment and this club will have some good news instead of bad stuff.[LNB]"New investment? Yes."[LNB]Hart was full of praise for his side after they ended a run of seven successive league defeats.[LNB]He said: "It was a great win. We have played better over the past month. We played well in the first half and defended tremendously in the second half.[LNB]"The whole group have been tremendous. Everyone knows our problems and what we have been through the last six months.[LNB]"These players have had everything thrown at them but they have stayed strong.[LNB]"They are a great bunch of lads, they show great spirit and they have never wavered.[LNB]"Yes, we got a few breaks today. We have earned it and some of the defending was excellent."[LNB]Wolves had strong claims for a penalty denied when Marc Wilson appeared to handle a cross from Michael Kightly.[LNB]But Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was more concerned about his side's defending when Yebda snatched the only goal of the game after 20 minutes.[LNB]He said: "I am getting a bit tired about saying, 'we should have had a penalty' because it sounds like I am bemoaning my luck.[LNB]"But if we defend a corner properly or a second ball that comes in, then we might be talking about that (the penalty claim) to win the game rather than to save it.[LNB]"That is more my grief. But if it is a penalty, he should have given it. There is no point in me speculating on it anymore.[LNB]"We played well in the second half and had a number of opportunities we should have done better with. They have done the basics and stopped us scoring."[LNB]McCarthy was not surprised Pompey finally broke their Premier League duck for the campaign.[LNB]He said: "Portsmouth are a Premier League side with still good players in the side.[LNB]"Of course they would win a game. It was just sad it has been here."[LNB][LNB]
