@wesstreeting Typo there Wes!

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis And will we keep them both? It's all gone a little quiet on the managerial front...

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@PompeyPedro I get the sentiment but the narrative is more “we’re pushing up the table” rather than “we’re aiming to compete with the second worst clubs” - progress is progress I suppose

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@PompeyNewsNow I was born up the road from FP!

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@pfc_sam @HancockAnalysis Bristol is good and all but it's going to make it more difficult for him to pop to the Akash though isn't it?

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@pfc_sam @HancockAnalysis I suppose I don't fully understand the rationale (are BC a bigger club, really?) but then I have no idea what's being proposed to him and what the restrictions are he's working under at Pompey. Quite possible BC have proposed a serious promotion / PL push over 2-3 years.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis Hull came to FP on the final day of last season on the brink of relegation to League One and now they're in the playoff final. Things can change quickly.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis Surely it's not a done deal and this could be purely exploratory/leverage to show Mous is serious about progress - but that progress could also come at Pompey if the conditions are met.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@TonyIncenzo 1 - Pompey
2 - Pompey
3 - Reading
4 - Pompey
5 - Pompey

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis The issue perhaps is that the board may point to the players we have spent more on tending to underperform or not work out (so far anyway) - Koznovsky, Knight, Umeh. It's the frees or the loans that have been way more successful.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@PompeyPedro Feels like the sort of day a new chapter of Pompey folklore is written. Jojo to smash home a 25 yarder?

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@mrandrewmoon @guywhittingham @Ian_Wilding1 Turning point incoming

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis I have always liked him. Not enough Paraguayans in the squad. Said it so many times.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis Undeniably he’s a difference maker when he’s on the pitch. But he’s not on the pitch very much. Which doesn’t make him enough of a difference maker. So yeah. Probably a sensible move really.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HancockAnalysis It does appear as if our strategy is:

Plan A (summer): sign younger/developmental prospects and see what sticks

Plan B (winter): if that's not gone well, sign out of favour Championship performers to get us out of trouble

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@TicketsPompey Hello! I haven’t seen anything about Preston (A) tickets - do you know what the deal is?

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@66288thxhs9w877 @HarvMarksy I guess the optimistic view is that the ownership are proven investors in the infrastructure and it can't all be done overnight. Is it fair to say the gulf between L1 and C has become bigger and bigger in the 7 years we were away - we have a lot of catching up to do.

[Simon Reeves @Reevotron]

@HarvMarksy Don't get me wrong - a critical analysis is going to have to be done of our summer business, much of which looks substandard. The squad looks poorer than it was at this stage last season but I do believe we'll scrape it.
