Portsmouth manager Paul Hart admitted after their toothless defeat to Arsenal on the weekend that he was still paranoid about suffering a cataclysmic late collapse which would drop them down a division.
Although Pompey have a full seven points separating them from the drop zone with just three games remaining, their relatively inexperienced manager still isn't able to sleep easy.
Speaking after the 3-0 loss to the Gunners, Hart told Sky Sports, "I've just spoken to Arsene and he thinks we've got enough, but I'm not that confident."
The hosts couldn't produce an answer for a Nicklas Bendtner brace and a Carlos Vela strike, but Hart insisted that they were not as bad as the scoreline suggests.
"For long periods in that second half we took control," he added.
"I thought we got a foot-hold in it and again created another four chances but the big difference between us was they took theirs and we didn't."
