Game showed how goals win games not flowing moves and possession, a half decent striker would have likely put us through to the 4th round.
Don’t see Harrison as the answer, not a prolific goal scorer, don’t know how the strike rates of Harrison, Marquis and Hiwula compare in League ( not Cup) goals but none of them impress me (although, to be fair, Hiwula usually comes on far too late to make an objective judgment).
Cant see how either Marquis or Harrison can cut the mustard in The Championship if we get there, probably just about good enough to get enough goals to get us promoted....but others are going to have to weigh in with more than a few as well.
Agree that Bristol didn’t overwhelm us, in fact we posed more questions than did they in the second half and we were missing Curtis (and we did miss him !), perhaps if Jackett had been quicker and more perceptive with his subs we might have gone on to win. What is it with Jackett and substitutes ? Like a lot of you, I am often shouting out for subs but he stands, arms folded, impassive whilst Pompey often huff and puff.
Based purely on today, surely we are good enough to play in The Championship and finish no worst than 4th from bottom, Mr Eisner please note, a bit of significant strengthening now can see us promoted this season.
