Portsmouth boss John Mousinho says his side has "no other choice" but to move on from their 5-0 thrashing at Bristol City.

Speaking to BBC Radio Solent after the match, he said: "Bristol City completely dominated us, we have to move on very quickly as we have some important games coming up.

"As a coaching staff we have to take responsibility for the team set up and tactics, the players have to take responsibility for their part too," he said.

Two of Bristol City's goals came from misplaced passes Pompey made deep in their own half.

"There were a couple of goals we shot ourselves in the foot with giving them the ball," Mousinho added.

"I said to the players we have to move on, show up on Sunday, run about and look like we can have a go, because we have no other choice.

"It's tough for us out there at the moment with the injuries we've got, but hopefully the fans can stick with us as we have some big games coming up."
