Agree about Close. White and Byers are 2 other players who can actually play a bit by that I mean they can pass and control the ball where many can’t do the basics. I have never known a Pompey team that so many players first touch is dreadful. For me Williams Harness and Cannon are so overrated. All 3 drifted in and out of the game yesterday as they do most games. It’s no use occasionally showing some brilliance when majority of games they have no influence. Trouble is there is not chance of dropping all 3 as we have so many injuries.
Curtis is so frustrating some days like yesterday he looked like a Sunday league player, he definitely is not a central striker.
The last two games have shown to me that teams have sussed the way the Cowley's like to press high and we didn’t have plan b. To cap it all we are no where near good enough and this points to very bad player recruitment over many years. At the end of the day I think the squad we have are just not good enough and it doesn’t matter how good the Cowley’s are you can’t polish a turd as the saying goes.
