Bishop: Two Great Results

Two-goal hero delighted with another win on the road

18 March 2023

Colby Bishop hailed an excellent week on the road for Pompey that resulted in two victories.

He netted twice in a 2-0 success at Bristol Rovers that followed on from Tuesday night’s victory over Accrington.

The striker felt the Blues were fully deserving of all three points at the Memorial Stadium, watched by a packed away end.

And Bishop was not really bothered about protests from the home side that his opener should have been ruled out.

He said: “We’ve gone two of the toughest places to visit this week and come away with two great results.

“Even if I don’t know whether it’s offside or onside, if I have a chance to score, then I’m going to take it.

"The fans came in their numbers yet again and were really loud, so we have to say a big ‘thank you’ to them."

“It’s important to get the first goal when you go away because the crowd will get behind them and that just settles you down.

“We just had to manage the game and keep doing what we were doing and not get sucked into anything.

“We played really well in the first half and carried that into the second. They were always going to have moments with the ball, but we dealt with that.

“The fans came in their numbers yet again and were really loud, so we have to say a big ‘thank you’ to them.”

With three strikes in the spaces of a few days, Bishop has found the back of the net on 22 occasions for Pompey this season.

He said: “It’s amazing – as a striker, getting to 20 is always your goal, so it’s great to be past that already. I want to keep going now.
