Well another disappointing result and once again we fail to brake down a struggling side despite having most of the possession. It obvious we are still not good enough in the final third for automatic promotion and it’s been a problem for some time now. Fed up with hearing it.
I do worry that Mousinho says he’s happy with our strike force. With Yengi away for what could be 6 weeks we have 1.5 strikers for that period. Although he hasn’t exactly been prolific, if Bishop gets injured again we will be desperately short. I just don’t understand the logic.
If you look at Bolton, Derby, Peterborough, Barnsley, Oxford etc. they all have an abundance of proven strikers with pace.
If we fail to recruit a proven goal scorer at this level, with pace, in this window, I fear we will be also fans again and will be lucky to stay in the playoffs positions.
Just wait and see how Bolton destroy Cheltenham next week. I’ll give for 5-1.
Rumour has it that Charlton are willing to pay 800K for Johnson Clarke-Harris. Agreed, that’s a lot of money at this level, but he is definitely the kind of signing to help get us over the line. Why is it that we don’t appear to be interested in a player that clearly has all the attributes. Makes it laughable that we paid £1M for Marquis.
Let’s hope we have some better news over the next couple of weeks and have hopefully learned from past failures just how crucial the January window is to promotion.
Play up Pompey!
