Pompey 'Jolly Green Giant' Firing Blanks!

Last updated : 13 March 2009 By Boro Mad

The 28-year-old England international has not scored in the league since before Christmas.

Peter Crouch: "I have to get back and make sure we defend from the front. I don't mind doing that.

"I'm always confident if I get chances I'll score goals. If we create and I get chances, I can do that.

"But as long as we win games and stay up I do not mind.

"Whether we stay up or not is in our own hands.

"We've got to play plenty of teams that are in the same sort of position as us.

"A lot of those games are at home and we like to think that if we get three points in them then we'll be all right.

"It's so tight down there that a couple of wins can take you into the top half of the table."
