Pompey won’t be damaged by falling out of the play-off places.

Cameron McGeehan is adamant the Blues haven’t suffered a psychological blow by dropping to seventh in League One after Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Fleetwood.

Joey Barton’s side moved above Kenny Jackett’s men and the gap is now seven points to the automatic promotion spots.

McGeehan isn’t unduly concerned about how the league table is looking with 13 games remaining, however, and has no doubt Pompey are capable of putting another winning run together over the season’s finale.

That starts with the visit of MK Dons tomorrow where Jackett’s men have a quick chance to climb back into the top six.

McGeehan said: 'We need to get back on this week.

'It's just taking the games as they come.

'We're staying positive and staying at it.

'We know it's not done yet and we know it's still in our hands.

'We're capable of putting the kind of run together we'll need.

'I don't look at the table too much really.

'I'm just looking at each game as they come around and focussing on that,

'You get the wins, things take care of themselves and you move up the table accordingly.'

Like many of his team-mates, McGeehan was short of his best as his side struggled to adjust to the conditions at Highbury Stadium.

But he is content overall with his form and the regular game time he’s getting after finding his minutes limited before a loan move from parent club Barnsley.

McGeehan added: 'I'm feeling good. I'm glad to be playing.

'It's just good to be playing a game every few days. It's something I'm enjoying.

'Yes (there more to come from him), I just need to keep going and keep my fitness up.

'I'm enjoying it and I need to keep working hard.

'I want to keep playing, my fitness feels fine and everything is all good.'
