I would say Bass, Hanstrup, Whatmough, Clarke, Webster, Close, Hawkins and in particular Lowe were improved here and I would add Curtis to that list rather than exclude him. When we signed him he was raw and in no way ready for the Championship level. He is now.
At the time of writing for Bass, Haunstrup, Whatmough, Webster and Close Pompey has been their first club so to have made it professionally there was no way they could have been viewed to have gone backwards could they?! You could argue the same for Clarke as he'd made just the five first team starts for Ipswich before moving to the club.
I'll grant you Lowe and Curtis but seriously Deep, if you're going to pick holes in other peoples' posts then try and add a bit of accuracy to your counter arguments.
