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