Starting to hit the home straight. Our clever strengthening in the January window has helped but the loss of key players has massively hampered us throughout the season. We're back to playing a 35 year old centre mid at centre half, and must have played 20+ different centre half combinations...

I think Derby is a fairer comparison than ourselves. They have a nucleus of the same side that got promoted last season where as we have lost key loan players and been decimated with injuries. We have also budgeted extremely low for this level so our signings have not been established players on...

It took us until November to adapt and set up with a high press system which finally gave us a tactical shape to go with. Results since then have improved, and put us back in the mix. Bishop returning was also a huge boost too, and is key to the system we play. We started the season absolutely...

It feels like the first two months of the season have become our pre-season. We only concluded much of our transfer business late on in the window, coupled with a number of injuries to the team late on in pre-season plus the continuing loss of some long term injured players. Finally all but...

As predicted we appear to be trying to gain any bonus points between now and the end of the transfer window with a plucky never say die attitude despite being too weak to really compete at this level. Seem to be having trouble getting rid of the squad players we don't want to free up money and...

It looks like we are playing the long game and waiting for targets to become available later in the window. In the short term we appear extremely weak going in to the opening fixtures. Hopeful that Kamara could still be a possibility once Norwich have assessed him in pre-season. We have no...

Don't disagree. Only time will tell what version we get. Mousinho will know him very well from their time together at Oxford. I'm hearing wages of around £10k plus add ons, but no idea how accurate that is. I know that our top earner was on £6k a week previously. Given he hasn't cost a fee the...

Josh Murphy announced overnight signing on a free after leaving Oxford. Looked a standout player in league one in the second half of last season. Happy with that and gives us some much needed pace.

That's insane. It takes longer than that from Pompey on the 'fast' train. The perks of being on a mainline i guess.

Surprising on social media there's a few spares going around (but quickly snapped up). I haven't got one but will watch in the box.

We’ve enlarged our squad throughout the season after a crippling injury list including multiple players out for the season at the turn of the year. Now the majority of the injured players are back fit so we’ve got a big pool to pick from. Assumed some will be making their final appearances and...

We have the same capacity issues, and the extension of the North Stand is years away as it forms part of a greater redevelopment including conferencing, hotels, restaurants and housing. We could easily add and fill another 5k now. With increased away support next year most weeks we will only...

Seems good value (from this point in) to end up with a new stand generating corporate revenue. In contrast we've spent around £15m in the last four years just to maintain our ground and retain the capacity, without any hospitality or corporate improvements.

Looks like we'll be giving a run out to some of our squad players who have failed to break back in to the team earlier in the season after recovering from injuries. Mousinho says he's aware of needing to provide a competitive team out of respect to all those in the mix for a play off place...

Bonkers. But who knows what was going on behind closed doors. Something not been right for a while based on their recent nosedive in form.
