Portsmouth boss Steve Cotterill still harbours hope of a play-off spot. after his side's 2-0 win over Scunthorpe and despite admitting relegation is a possibility, the play-off places are still the aim.

Cotterill said: "I don't know whether 47 points would actually do it (be enough to avoid relegation). I think it's more likely to be 48. I don't think it will be 50 or 52. But we're not too far from the play-offs either.

"You have to set your goals and targets high because if we fail (to reach the play-offs) and end up in the top half of the table this year, what a good season that would be, considering everything that has gone on.

"I'm sure there will be a lot of teams equally as big as us who would give their right arm to be where we are.

"All credit to the lads - they've kept their heads down and carried on working. Hopefully they're getting a few rewards now."
