Do people not care anymore??? Are people resigned to failure and actually accept it for this famous old club who have spent the majority of our existence in the second tier. I care and will tell it how it is.
Its been two months, yes two, since the season finished and we have signed only one player (admittedly a decent player in Pack). Only our midfield looks half decent now, with Pack, Morrell, Jacobs. The rest of the team is a complete shambles in goal, defence and attack. The other midfielders aren't good enough either. NO senior strikers at a club of our stature, what is going on? I would have got rid of most of the squad from last season if given the chance.
I repeat, the only players currently at PFC who are good enough for our club and a promotion push are Jacobs, Morrell and Pack. That's three, that's it. And unfortunately Jacobs is always injured. Every single one of the remaining players are NOT good enough.
It's always the case that the clubs outside the prem who do the majority of the business towards the start of the season as opposed to before pre season most of the time fail to achieve their objectives. This is mostly due to them getting the scraps I.e poorer standard of player. This is almost always the case unless you have a very good manager which we dont have. It isn't always down to money, its about having a good manager and recruitment team who know what here doing. We have neither.
Danny doesn't inspire positivity either. If you read on the ipswich forum he was at a kids footy tournament last week with his kids and an Ipswich fan asked about expectations for the season, Cowley said Ipswich would win the title and he wrote off any of Pompeys chances, very dismissive apperantly. Does Cowley think he's managing a two bob mickey mouse club or something? He certainly isn't. We are the famous Portsmouth f.c in the third tier, have some pride and expectation ffs. By most standards, especially by football league standards, we are a big club. There's one thing playing down things but not completely writing off our chances this season. He's lucky to be managing us.
Apparently people connected to the club I.e Andy Moon on twitter have said there are no imminent signings at Pompey. No signings in the near future. WHAT?!??
The clubs who were already ahead of us on the field by some distance have strengthened hugely already.
At worst we are third biggest club in this league but it is massively apparent that we are going to fail this season.
A few people on this board like scumslayer, pedalo can actually see what a massive concern the onfield situation is.
Why can't other people see what huge trouble we are in on the field?
I'll tell you this now, we are going to finish anywhere between 10th to 18th this season.
It should be completely unacceptable and a disgrace for Portsmouth football club not to finish at least in the playoffs in the third tier ffs, YET AGAIN.
Stop with the positivity nonsense, it won't help. You only have to look at what we have done so far on the field and who we have been linked with to see what a poor season we are in for. Yet another year goes by and another season of failure for this famous old big club.
Where have the standards gone at this club? Where has our pride and expectation gone?
With the season upon us, we should be excited, but yet again it is going to be another season of failure.
