It looks likely that Raggett may miss part, if not all, of the rest of the season, which is a major blow. The only obvious replacement is Nicolaisen, while I suppose Bolton could fill in although he is essentially a full back.
Surely Downing who is here on a 3-year contract must now come into the reckoning, after being totally and inexplicably ignored by Jackett. He is a specialist centre half. His record speaks for itself.
The club website sums up his pre-Pompey career: Making almost 200 appearances with Walsall in League One, then after a decent stint at MK Dons he followed that up with being part of the Blackburn League One promotion side, and then with 22 games on loan at Doncaster.
It will be interesting to see if Cowley follows the Jackett line on Downing. When he arrived he said that 'every players starts with me with a clean slate'.
