While Aston Villa have recovered from being booed off after 45 minutes of the season to make their best start for more than a decade, Portsmouth are all at sea.Five matches, five defeats: it is Portsmouth's worst start to a league season, and the south coast side are a shipwreck waiting to happen.
They are in imminent danger of becoming the first top-flight club to lose their opening six matches since Leicester City 26 years ago. It would also condemn them to their longest run of top-flight defeats since a club record of 11 was set in 1987.
New Portsmouth owner Sulaiman Al Fahim remains convinced that he and manager Paul Hart can steer Pompey into calmer waters. However, chief executive Peter Storrie has been forced to deny telling supporters' groups that Al Fahim had not yet refinanced the club as promised.
