Evans clearly has an axe to grind with us after we beat them a few weeks back in a tight game.
Pompey stats Vs Vale:
xG 2.01 (against 0.15)
Shots on target - 7 (against 0)
Possession 64%
Corners 10 (vs 3)
He clearly didn't see the game and is talking his usual shite.
Seems a bit uninspiring. Ground out some good results at Lincoln but style of play cost him his job seemingly. Looks like he's been honing his PowerPoint skills since leaving Lincoln.
Now midfielders Joe Morrell and Terry Devlin are both out for the season. WTF happened to short-term injuries FFS! That's four season-ending injuries since end of December.
Devlin is a youngster who's been on the fringes so we can cope with that. Morrell is a huge loss though. Need to hope that...
There are unconfirmed rumours that new signing CB Tom McIntyre broke his ankle in the challenge that he was sent off for on Saturday against Northampton, and is out for the season joining the man he replaced, Regan Poole.
The red card decision was helped by a bench-led meltdown and Mitch...
Still a long way for us to go, promotion-wise. It's very tight at the top and we've blown it before. I'm optimistic though. The January recruitment has gone well and team confidence seems high at the moment.
Regarding overspending in the future - it's very unlikely under our current owners who...
Yes, it appears we're open to Scully leaving this window. He and Gavin Whyte were signed last summer and both started as our first choice wingers. Both players have since lost their places and slipped down the pecking order.
Scully played our first few games without doing much and then picked...
We had him on loan all last season. Talented dribbler and works his socks off but very frustrating with his end product. Decision-making is poor, crossing is very average and he's nervous in front of goal. (If you get the version we had)
Fee and personal terms now agreed with Callum Lang. Just waiting the final announcement.
Us and Blackpool are fighting over Owen Moxon. Contract expires in the summer and he doesn't want to sign a new one.
Tom McIntyre from Reading has gone a bit quiet but we definitely need a centre-back.
Deserved three points today. Controlled the game from start to finish. Finishing again was the problem as it has been for the last month or so.
Penalty decision was 50/50 but when you spend so much time in and around the opposition box you do occasionally get a decision.
Can see the Vale fans...
Strong reports that we've agreed a fee with Wigan for Callum Lang. Probably not announcing it until after today's game. Sounds like Reading CB Tom McIntyre to follow. Much needed signings.
We've made an approach for Wigan's Callum Lang. He's unhappy apparently, and wants out. Rotherham and Derby also supposedly interested.
Seems to prefer right wing, and Wigan appear to be playing him anywhere but there. We have loanee Abu Kamara who's doing well there but has looked tired...
The Cowleys like to have a lot of control over recruitment so I reckon the number of clubs employing an old school type of management role is probably diminishing. I'm assuming they wouldn't have had full control at Wycombe?
Curtis would be a good signing if he's recovered from his ACL injury. Scores plenty cutting in from the left and hitting it with his right. A very feisty competitor who loves a tussle with his opposing full back.
I think our recruitment team had just moved on to other options and he didn't...
In October I told the old "Pompey usually come down with the Christmas decorations" joke to non-Pompey family members, and this is now coming back to haunt me.
I'm very pessimistic now about the New Years Day game against Stevenage. Wouldn't put it past Evans to sabotage his own floodlights to...
