John Mousinho believes as much as half of the Championship is still in danger of being relegated this season.And the Pompey boss warned the sides above his team in the table, like this weekend’s opponents Preston, could yet be sucked into the dogfight at the foot of the table.
The picture in the bid to avoid relegation to League One this week took another twist this week, as each of the teams in the bottom three picked up mid-week wins.
That tightened things up with there now three points covering bottom four and a further five points between Oxford in 20th and QPR in 14th.
He said: ‘We certainly feel that we’re still in it, we certainly feel that we’re still in it on 42 points.
‘There’s quite a few teams above us on 44 points. Above that, in my eyes, Sheffield Wednesday are absolutely fine.
‘That’s how I see it, there’s probably a huge number of clubs who don’t feel secure yet – and rightly so. That includes ourselves, so we have to pick up enough points to make sure we don’t feel that.
‘That’s why Plymouth was so disappointing.
