Marlon Pack interview: Portsmouth midfielder insists promotion target still  stands despite Pompey's drastic mid-season slide | Football News | Sky  SportsMarlon Pack believes a maximum on Pompey’s Fratton return will make Blackpool’s draw a plus point.

The Blues skipper was left frustrated by his side failing to return a maximum, after the 0-0 draw against the 10-man Tangerines.

But Pack reckons a win against Burton Albion tomorrow will shine a more positive light on the outcome at Bloomfield Road, before a massive trip to Peterborough.

The Buckland boy pointed out how John Mousinho’s men were left disappointed by the 1-1 draw at Oxford at the end of January, as the home side scored late.Marlon Pack interview: Portsmouth midfielder insists promotion target still  stands despite Pompey's drastic mid-season slide | Football News | Sky  Sports

But that was followed up by the 4-1 romp over Northampton and a further three maximums, to make the point look like a decent one in the context of decent extended form.

Pack feels the same will apply to what unfolded on Saturday, if the leaders then deliver a win against the Brewers.

He said: ‘It’s been a message we’ve had a lot of times this season.

‘Most recently it was when we conceded late at Oxford, which was a sucker punch.

‘We then said it would end up being a good point if we won on Saturday, which we did.Marlon Pack interview: Portsmouth midfielder insists promotion target still  stands despite Pompey's drastic mid-season slide | Football News | Sky  Sports

‘Usually our responses and bouncing back makes these games decent away points – that’s how it has to be against Burton.
