    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...
    Worst case two... CB and an LB, the latter is the most important for me now.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    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!".
    Hate to break it too you but Wigan got the bike.
    Wigan just gave the bike a better opportunity.

    Brandon Mason was released from Coventry, London lad. Left back
    Mason is recovering from a muscle tear training with Pompey a few weeks ago, I don’t think he would pass a medical at the moment.

    Doesnt have to happen today either...
    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.

    Any LB that comes in will be cover for Purrington I reckon

    Or will be more of a Wing-Back giving us a different option if ever we needed

    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.

    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.
    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?

    I am not saying we should accept things like actually not having a left back but your logic as to why is wrong. 
    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.

    I don't think we will sign one.  I am mainly saying it now so we actually do.

    Davison scores in the Pizza Trophy. No striker needed now.
    Clare and Clayton involved…..no signings needed
    Ronnie Clayton 😯 he must be about 102 now 😉

    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.
    I take it you missed this evenings Josh Davison masterclass?
    He was good tonight, but Crawley seems to be his level currently
    Yeah I know, was firmly tongue in cheek

    Know very little about him, nearly 100-appearances for Pompey at this level though and if he's started the season in form

    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. 

    Think Davison has a role to play this season though 👍
    Agreed!

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

    Got a good free kick and okay going forward but weak defensively.

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

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