There is a definite base on which to work from here and the challenge is to make Pompey a better and bigger club.

I believe that the challenge has to be taken step by step, and the first of those is that we must try and stay in the Premiership.

I didn't have a lot of work until the end but that's part of the challenge, staying sharp and knowing the next save could be the big one because it was a tight game until the very end.

That's a challenge for our rehab specialists because our patients are more fragile and they work at a slower pace.

I am ready to work, I am ready for this job and I am ready for this challenge.

It's really been a challenge as we come to the end of the semester to work on this. We're real anxious to go do it. One of the challenges is we continue to function in our separate groups as well as our responsibilities as a band and with the Rose Bowl parade stuff as well.
