He’s not physical enough imo. Need someone of the morrell type for Pompey.Sounds a bit like Oisin Smyth.

Mcguane has never been physical though, even if he had we wouldn’t have what we have both describedThat’ll be the key signing this summer - a midfielder that can add some physicality and agility but is still technically good enough on the ball to not undermine how we want to play. Not many of those knocking around L1 - such a shame McGuane hasn’t maintained his form this season.
Dunno if we are techinically inferior, we just aren’t as organised and don’t have the power they both do. That’s what we lack. A enforcer type, it’s what we dearly need in the summer
He’s a monster when fully fresh and his head in the game. Has presence and not many go past him in that form. Brilliant with his back to play. The trouble is we get 12-15 games in and he loses his edge and begins to look very average.Mcguane has never been physical though, even if he had we wouldn’t have what we have both described
A former Arsenal youth coach used to say there were 3 players in his cohort who he really thought would make the grade. They were Saka, Nelson and McGuane. And when McGuane got his big move to Barca, he honestly thought he would be the first of the 3 to break through. The rest as they say is history!He’s a monster when fully fresh and his head in the game. Has presence and not many go past him in that form. Brilliant with his back to play.

Seems to be other problems there. He has all the technical ingredients to be the player that the team is really missing right now but it is what it is.
Don't mean to put a dampener on things, but if we have a good end to the season and scrape into 6th we will most likely be facing Bolton in the playoffs.
Might have to do a little better than our showing up there previously, but at least it won't be shown live on Sky again... oh wait
But now I'm worrying about it!Let’s not worry about that until we are in a position to worry about it
Have you considered getting a hobby to occupy yourself? You seem to spend all day on here posting nothing but misery and it's clear that you're not enjoying football these days.They both looked a lot quicker and sharper than us, moved the ball at pace more than we do. Perhaps that slow, pedestrian style football between the defence and Cumming just makes us look slower.
In the incredibly unlikely event that we somehow sneak into the playoffs, I'd fully expect any of the other contenders to absolutely hammer us over two legs.Don't mean to put a dampener on things, but if we have a good end to the season and scrape into 6th we will most likely be facing Bolton in the playoffs.

Our chances of promotion are zero percent!

Man you're gonna be so tiredStatistically you are wrong, but realistically I am booking a holiday tonight with a flight time of early the morning after the play off final, wouldn’t let the missus do that if I thought we had a chance of going up.
Man you're gonna be so tired
That's got me worried.......Now I am worried that you're worried.
6th is there for the taking, it’s in our own hands, as long as we don’t choke first!Barnsley, Bolton and Peterborough all lost in the playoffs last year. If we can just get 6th place then we've every chance against that bunch of choakers!
Zero percent? In football ( effectively cup football) surprises happen often.In the incredibly unlikely event that we somehow sneak into the playoffs, I'd fully expect any of the other contenders to absolutely hammer us over two legs.

It does but is he L1 quality? 2.5 years he’s been here and never nailed down a place. Had a failed loan spell in the conference too.Sounds a bit like Oisin Smyth.

There are some community litter picking groups which might bring you more joy.
