Rose: Goals have always been part of my Pompey team-mate

And Danny Rose is convinced in-form Kyle Bennett can maintain his hot streak to continue Pompey’s promotion momentum.

Bennett has netted in each of his past four Blues appearances after discovering goals in his boots.

Having scored once in 33 appearances going into March, the 26-year-old is savouring the most prolific period of his career.

Crawley, Colchester, Grimsby and Newport County have all been on the receiving end, with each fixture yielding Pompey victory.

Paul Cook’s side currently sit in third spot – six point clear of Stevenage with seven matches remaining in League Two.

Their next task is represented by a trip to a Hartlepool side currently languishing in 21st.

And Rose is delighted his team-mate has added goals to his undoubted attacking ability.

He said: ‘Kyle’s always had goals in him, but for one reason or another it hasn’t happened for him.

‘Now he’s finding himself in the box a lot more often, so is getting into the position to score more – and the team is benefitting.

‘As you have seen over the last month, he can finish and has great composure.
