\n Asked about his thoughts on the situation, Mousinho replied: “It\u2019s the same. We didn\u2019t have anything official, but spoke to Ipswich on the day of the (postponed) game.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt was an informal conversation on the day of the game at Fratton Park, but the mood around the place is still the same on that one.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Chaplin has had limited minutes in the no.10 role, often being forced out wide at Portsmouth. However, with more opportunities to start centrally, Mousinho believes that the best is yet to come from him.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019ve now had enough games with Chappers in his preferred position for him to really get going and fit in the team well,” he added.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe\u2019s definitely affecting games, we just haven\u2019t had the output in terms of goals and assists that Conor would like, let alone what we would expect. He\u2019s definitely had a massive effect on us, though.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u2018Prior to that Bristol City game we had a good run of results and a good run of games, albeit that small run of games and four games undefeated with two wins. Taking eight points from four games at that time of season for us was important, because teams at bottom started picking up results and teams in the middle didn\u2019t.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe needed that and the fact we\u2019re two games short of a lot of sides, so the contribution everyone is making in terms of morale, but particularly Conor, is great.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI think the season is ahead of Conor, that\u2019s very much what we\u2019re focussing on.\u201d\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 28-year-old returned to his boyhood club on deadline day, agreeing a deal that would keep him on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-371782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
