Poole's form takes a dip at Pompey
- Published
Portsmouth defender Regan Poole has admitted he has had a dip in form for the first time in quite a while in his career.
The 26-year-old spent more than 10 months on the sidelines due to a knee injury before returning to action in September.
"It's been tough for me personally, I've made quite a few mistakes that have led to goals which is not nice," Poole told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Solent.
"It's frustrating and plays on my mind, of course, but it's football, it's how you bounce back."
The former Lincoln City centre-back has started 10 consecutive matches for Pompey after his return to full fitness.
"Obviously I came back at Burnley - it was adrenaline mostly and it's been quite frustrating since then," he said. "I wanted to take off where I left off but that hasn't been the case at all.
"It's nice that the gaffer knows what I'm going through, he would have loved to have played me a little bit less and the big thing for me was getting to this international break feeling fit with no niggles."
