To me it is blatantly obvious that what he needs is first team games - he would have got that at Exeter.
But I didn’t make it up, he is.
You think he should fight for his mythical place with us and should celebrate being dropped.
Of course he's not. Had he stayed he would be second choice of three ... Olumayemi would never have signed, and the idea that he would ever be behind Steward is just fantasy. A deliberate exaggeration.
And where have I said he should celebrate being dropped - he should accept the decision as being the best for the team and fight for his place. It was bad luck for him last year that one of the best young keepers in the country turned up - that is not the case this season and it was no forlorn hope to prove to DC that he could play in his system.
DC has proven with Jacobs that he open to having his mind changed as a manager.
And I still just cannot understand how you can think that benchwarming is better for him now than a first team place in League One at Exeter. For me that is no-brainer.
He isn’t wanted by DC, there is no fight for his place, he doesn’t have a place. He is behind every keeper at Pompey, he has no place. You weren’t happy with his attitude at being dropped and his attitude is that he wasn’t happy and rightly so, no player should be happy.
Using Jacobs as an example? He refused to play him until he had no option. You want Bass to wait until every keeper at the club has broken legs? That’s the only time he’ll be played.
Sunderland wouldn’t be signing him unless they thought he could challenge and I’m sure will get games. I think you are a no brainer.
He will not get a game under DC.
You think he should stay here and warm the bench (that he’s not even on) than warm the bench for Sunderland. Sunderland over Pompey for him clearly.
