Hart happy despite Pompey defeat

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart is sure his side can begin to climb up the table after a spirited 1-0 defeat to Everton.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."We played tremendously well, creating really good chances in the first half and in the second we should have scored," said Hart."But with a spirit and performance like that, I thought the players were fantastic."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."The players have been excellent and I don't see any reason why they won't keep that going."
