McIntyre made his Portsmouth debut four days after
signing for the club, in the 4-1 home win against Northampton Town.
McIntyre was shown a straight red card by referee Sam Purkiss in the
54th minute for a 50/50 challenge with Northampton's Mitch Pinnock,
however this card (and the subsequent three match ban) was rescinded on
appeal. McIntyre received a fractured ankle due to the weight of the
challenge and missed the rest of Portsmouth's promotion-winning campaign
Ha, the ‘reveal’ was the equivalent of Masked singer when the panel guess a series of A listers and the head comes off and it’s Joel shouts a name no one has ever heard of!
Didn't think we'd sign a defender, good news but still hoping of for a pacey winger/striker alternative to Small and TC.
Assume he was decent for Reading having been there a while and moving to Pompey in their promotion year, but for whatever reason the move hasn't worked out. Anyone know why? Injuries or better players ahead of him?
Happy as it's a position we need and should be good competition for Gillesphey. I know Saturdays equaliser was frustrating but he hasn't been anywhere near as bad as some make up in regard to Macca.
As Callum said on Saturday... If McIntyre does replace Gillesphey I hope we dont miss out on his punt up field, as it is turning into a bit of a weapon for us, unfortunately Gillesphey in defence is a potential weapon for the opposition
Replacement for Gillesphey? - Jones unimpressed after Saturday?
Upgrade on Potts. Competes with Gillesphey. Also takes Z Mitchell's role of being able to cover midfield at a push given we have lost Taylor and Campbell as cover there. Can then afford to allow Zach out on loan as we are much better stocked for options at RCB than LCB (A Mitchell, Ramsay, REG).

Still having said that we all need to have our fingers crossed that we don't get a CM injury between now and the end of the season. 4 players for 3 spots in the side plus a couple of bit-parts who can fill in isn't exactly decent cover. When you think we have 6 players for 2 roles up top. 4 for 2 wing back spots, 6 for 3 at CB. It is an area of the pitch that worries me. One player get a 3 month injury and were resigned to the same CM make up every game.
Edit: forgot about Gilbert already. Still not sure I would want Berry playing one of the deeper roles..

Not feeling super optimistic here.

Not that it makes too much of a difference, let's see how he does here.
Personally a bit underwhelmed and hope there is more incoming.
