The flip side of that is 'we didn't get who we want long-term, we're building a long-term strategy, it'll take us a while and in the mean time we need cover for this season'. We've definitely missed some, but we're not going to pay over the odds, that's clear. I agree we need another left back, and striker, though.golfaddick said:
The determined strategy has been to use the youth set up. When that hasnt worked they have had to bring in a few new players (Kirk & Lee) the fact we have then panicked and gone for a player on a 4 month contract & a 31 year old that has been injured & reportedly on a high salary (which I hear we're paying a lot towards) smacks of desperation.....but they seem to still be determined to stick with Roddy or Gunter as the left back.ISawLeaburnScore said:
It's been said a million times before but not signing a LB now is equivalent to not signing a CB in January. Potentially even worse given we've just paid half a million for a winger who has thrived when forming a partnership with an attacking full back. Whatever happens in the next 90 minutes a full review is required of the post-season because it has been very odd and I'm not sure even the most optimistic could say it's followed a determined strategy.ForeverAddickted said:
Worst case two... CB and an LB, the latter is the most important for me now.ISawLeaburnScore said:Three signings required to rescue this, in under 2 hours, and that's giving a pass on the fact we aren't bothering with a second keeper. Let's judge when it's passed...1 -
Wigan just gave the bike a better opportunity.ken_shabby said:
Hate to break it too you but Wigan got the bike.Exiled_Addick said:Off_it said:Honestly, you guys.
I can only imagine what you were like as children on Christmas Eve.
"What's the point, Mum promised me a new bike for Christmas but I haven't seen one yet and my Dad hasn't told me any rumours about which bike I might be getting so I don't believe I'll even be getting a bike. It'll be the worst Christmas ever!".5 -
Although after more googling it seems that he was on trial with Portsmouth, had a hamstring tear which required surgery so is expected to be out for another month or so.ForeverAddickted said:
Doesnt have to happen today either...Dizzle said:Brandon Mason was released from Coventry, London lad. Left back1 -
Any LB that comes in will be cover for Purrington I reckon2

Ok then - well if I said to my kids ‘be a good boy and Santa will get you a PS5’, I’m not gonna fuck it off for six months and then wonder why I can’t find one on Christmas Eve.Cafc43v3r said:
You do understand that despite the crowds and the fan base we make a loss before we pay any of the players wages and any transfer fees?DamoNorthStand said:
Well I will get my kids what I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to get them based on my personal circumstances. I’m not gonna short change them cos I am shopping on Christmas Eve cos I haven’t got round to it before then.Off_it said:Honestly, you guys.
I can only imagine what you were like as children on Christmas Eve.
If my football club has crowds and a fanbase that is in excess of many clubs in the championship never mind most of league one I wouldn’t expect us to go into September with a right back at left back and no back up to our only decent striker.
I am not saying we should accept things like actually not having a left back but your logic as to why is wrong.2 -
Ronnie Clayton 😯 he must be about 102 now 😉Todds_right_hook said:

A striker is more important for me than a LB. Stockley gets injured and we’re buggered. Not me saying I don’t want a lb though.ForeverAddickted said:

Even in dispare the humour on here tonight has me laughing, well done.5

Know very little about him, nearly 100-appearances for Pompey at this level though and if he's started the season in formMike said:Be very disappointed if he is our last minute left back!0 - Sponsored links:

Agreed!RC_CAFC said:
Ha! I didn’t actually. Loved every single minute of it. But I have also watched all of his league cameos so far this season. I would love him to come good, but let’s be honest, that Crawley number 5 was the worst professional centre back I have ever witnessed.ElliotCAFC said:

Well, he has the right initials at least18

I’d be pretty surprised if we paid a fee for a 31 year old0

Portsmouth's starting left back. Keeping Ogilvie on the bench currently.ShootersHillGuru said:

As if by magic8 -
Brown is 310

What Im liking is the fact that a few Pompey fans on twitter dont seem happy about it.1

Brown’s decent getting forward, I thought he looked handy when he was at Rovers. Not quick but can put in a decent cross.1
