Vale. Surprised at Markanday not getting a run.

Going to regret these misses

When is Wharton contracted to?

I like the look of Bowler. He'd be so much more effective on the right than Gallagher or Hedges.

After a poor opening 20 we've played quite well. Helped by Blackpool fannying about as much as at the back. Positives. A Wharton looks top drawer. Dack's through ball. Defence doing ok for a scratch unit. Dolan is just wasting a space. Hedges innefective. Not convinced by Morton.

Should have scored Morton.

Dolan is really frustrating. He needs a loan out to league one for a year.

Brilliant goal from rovers. Hope we keep a clean sheet now

All at sea.

All quiet on the Diaz front. Reckon he goes abroad for nowt next summer.

Well that balloon deflated quickly.

Ooh a left back😁. Bit injury prone. Wonder if Broughton knows him from his time at Norwich 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bored of Hirst now. When's Barkley signing?

No, but it also means that having an option to buy isn't a cast iron guarantee in the club's favour. Anyway. I'd be delighted if someone scored 20 goals for us this season. Can't see where the next one is coming from at the moment!

Although, I get the wage structure point. He scores 20 plus goals in the champ. We have the option to sign him for £5mil - no brainer...but we can't agree terms with the player because he now knows he's worth more than £5 million and wants £25k. He's not obligated to sign - so we can't sign him. I think is the JH Rover's issue.

Don't know much about Hirst. Not the most inspiring sounding signing. However, these taller players don't tend to peak until mid 20s onwards, when they've got the physique and a bit more know how. Hopefully he's a good crosser of the ball🤦🏻‍♂️ Had a look on the Pompey forum - stick with this - they were disgruntled that Ipswich might be in for him. Someone on the Ipswich board said that Rovers were in for him and that was Hirst's preferred choice. Ipswich would be his second if it fell through. That was back in the middle of July! Another one that we've had planned for a while or revisited it would seem.

Up there with his misuse of Harrison Reed

Maybe he's "injured" 😉

So JDT said 3 more. Hirst seems to be one. Styles still a possibility. The third remains an international man of mystery.

Rondon being let go by Everton. Clearing space for Diaz? Unlikely but would he be a decent signing at 32?

You would think...

Good effort that man. Just googled it and he played in the 4-3 against Reading. Played left back!!!

Maybe Carter has recommended him. They will have played together last year 🤷🏻‍♂️

None of whom are like Travis!
