Pompey have had more than their fair share of defensive problems this season.
There have been injuries across the back four to frustrate efforts to find consistency, with striker Oliver Hawkins even being used as a makeshift centre-half.
But Luke McGee has been a constant presence between the sticks for the Blues since arriving at Fratton Park last summer.
And the keeper is not complaining about the many changes that have taken place directly ahead of him.
“We’ve been unlucky in that sense,” he says in the official matchday magazine for today’s clash with Southend. “But you could also look at it another way and say we’ve been lucky with Oli coming in at the back and adapting to that role so well.
“We can have a laugh about the own-goal at Blackpool last Saturday, but we’ve won all four of the matches he’s started in defence and kept two clean sheets.
"Even those guys who aren’t currently in the side have the right attitude and we all stick together."
“He’s looked really solid and hasn’t moaned about having to play there, which shows what an excellent character he is.
“That’s the same throughout the squad, though, because even those guys who aren’t currently in the side have the right attitude and we all stick together.
“Matt Clarke’s only young, but he’s got an experienced head on those shoulders, while Christian Burgess is just consistent.
“It puts confidence in the whole team when you know you’ve got such solid guys at the back.”
