Portsmouth boss Andy Awford concerned by away form

Portsmouth manager Andy Awford has admitted that he is concerned by his side's away form following their 3-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle in League Two.

Pompey have not picked up a win on the road since August, and their coach concedes that is relegation form.

"That is the disappointing thing for me. The home form is promotion form but the away form is relegation form," Awford told Sky Sports News.

"I thought we'd come through it, the last away performance at Shrewsbury was a lot more solid but we didn't deserve anything here with the way we defended in the first half.

"We left ourselves with a mountain to climb especially at a place like Plymouth where they have a very good home record. We weren't good enough, simple as that. We've got to do better on the road without a shadow of a doubt."

Portsmouth's latest defeat leaves them in 13th place in the table, with 23 points from 17 matches.
