Lets get some football debate going again.
I'll kick it off with a Raggett v Rasmus question.
We'd probably mostly agree that Whatmough is our best centre back, but who should be his partner ? Admittedly we haven't seen him with Rasmus yet, but from what we've seen of him I'm less than convinced that his positioning is good enough, and he gets caught ball-watching. That may improve as he gets more familiar with league one football and his team mates but right now I'd go for Raggett. We know he and Jack can be an effective pairing and he is pretty consistent and generally does what it says on the tin.
And I think the level of abuse Raggett gets on social media reflects badly on the type of supporters Pompey have got. People seem to have a distorted view of what skill level an effective Leage One footballer needs to have.
