FOOTBALL: IT'S NO SVET

HARRY REDKNAPP watched on in delight as Portsmouth maintained their breathtaking start to the season, but then claimed: "We're not kidding ourselves, we've done nothing yet."

A goal just after half time by Svetoslav Todorov earned Pompey the points against a Millwall side who played the better football for long spells.

Redknapp enthused: "It has been a miracle start for us, better than I could ever have imagined, but we know we're not going to run all over sides like this.

"We now have 22 points and that is just fantastic. We have certainly given ourselves a decent chance of getting promotion."

But Redknapp admits he is concerned that his squad may not be strong enough to last the pace.

Bulgarian striker Todorov is the Portsmouth managers latest injury worry.

He picked up a knee ligament problem and Redknapp said: "I don't know how long he's going to be out but it's something we really could have done without."

Millwall boss Mark McGhee left Fratton Park still wondering just how his side had so much of the play but left without even a point.

McGhee blamed a moment of defensive suicide for his team's downfall. His back four were all over the place when Todorov reached a raking cross-field pass from Nigel Quashie, cut in from the left and cleverly chipped the ball past keeper Tony Warner.MAN OF THE MATCH NIGEL QUASHIE
