FORWARD Abu Kamara has highlighted the camaraderie in the camp as a major reason behind Portsmouth's success on the field this season.
John Mousinho's men headed into the weekend top of League One on the back of a 15-match unbeaten start to the campaign.
Losing at National League side Chesterfield in the FA Cup last Sunday was a setback, but all-change Pompey responded with a 2-1 success at Leyton Orient in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy on Tuesday night and have booked their place in the knockout rounds.
The win at Brisbane Road was all the more commendable because the south coast side had to play 70 minutes with ten men following skipper Sean Raggett's 20th-minute dismissal.
Kamara streaked clear to stroke home Portsmouth's 74th-minute winner and believes the hard-fought success is another sign that they have the right spirit to achieve success this term.
The 20-year-old Norwich loanee told The FLP: "When I joined this summer, there were a lot of new boys but everyone was just so welcoming and it made the transition a lot easier.
