Grant: Players feel Pompey pressure

PORTSMOUTH boss Avram Grant admits it is becoming tough for his players to ignore the cash-strapped club’s off-the-field issues.

The Israeli’s side were held 1-1 by Coventry in Saturday’s FA Cup third round clash at Fratton Park, with Kevin-Prince Boateng canceling out David Bell’s opener for the Sky Blues.

Following a disappointing display in front of just 11,214 fans, hundreds of Pompey followers laid siege to the directors’ entrance in Frogmore Road for an hour after the final whistle.
