It will be poetic justice if Jack and Tom do help Wigan get promoted at Fratton Park tomorrow night, Pompey clearly didn’t value either enough to try to keep them and have been proved wrong, both have played just about every game for a Championship bound side and have contributed goals and assists.
So Jack had injury problems in his career at Pompey, the idea that we couldn’t offer him a longer contract because of that would be more understandable if we hadn't gone on to bring in two known sick-notes in Robertson and Hume.
Others may disagree but I don’t believe that any of our current midfielders are a real improvement on Naylor.
Just goes to show that if you believe in your own ability, there is life beyond Fratton Park, something that Raggett, Curtis and Harness and their agents will have noted.
Jack and Tom may well be playing Championship football next season (no guarantees mind) whereas the threesome above will likely be plying their trade in the boondocks that is League 1 (call it Division 3 to get the right perspective)……and I wouldn’t necessarily think that The Autos are nailed on for us next season, more like an attritional struggle to get to the playoffs.
