Look at the comments on the Pompey twitter following the announcement. 40+ comments and I've not seen a positive one yet!
Still fingers crossed he isn't as bad as they think he is.
Tend to avoid Twitter but thanks all the same,

Looks like another KC punt, someone who had promise in the past but who hasn’t fulfilled it. Hopefully will be as good as the last player we had from Pompey.
Time will tell...... whilst Portsmouth in League 1 are signing Tottenham starlets we'll have the player who was elbowed out to make way for them...... 8 years in the game, we are his 9th different club yet he's only made 53 league starts in his career. Sooner or later he's got to find a club where he performs and gets a decent run of games....lets hope its with us. Welcome Byrn. So we're back to full compliment of 22 players in the squad 21 and over.....unless another young loanee comes in (and there's room for one more in the matchday squad) I daresay we'll see some movement out of the exit door in the coming days. Morris not eligible for tomorrow (if the paperwork went through after 12pm) so it might be more revealing who is not in the matchday squad than who actually is in.

Wycombe fans loved him and Portsmouth fans hate him, so we'll see what version we get.
The proof in the pudding will be what Manwork thinks of him!

One thing for sure our Keith will not reveal if Morris signed before noon today or not! Keep 'em guessing

Haven’t heard anything new but Stockley promised a decision by close of play today, and Sunderland are sniffing. Could be that he’s turned them down and they’ve moved on

Why? Watson is in the side at the moment Missilou isn’t, another central midfielder puts him even further down the pecking order. Both out of contract in the summer while Watson may go too my guess is Missilou is almost certain to leave.
Because it’s unusual a player leaves having only just arrived in the summer . Watson blows hot and cold all of the time and hasn’t offered enough really .

Curles summer recruiting was an unmitigated disaster.

Pompey fans don't rate Morris because Jackett played him instead of a popular player in the play-off campaign which obviously didn't end well. A bit like us not rating Clive Platt after 'that' play-off final (although we didn't rate him before that)!

Very funny Is he available to play? He needed to be signed by 12noon. According to this he’s not available till Lincoln as signed after 12? https://lastwordonsports.com/football/2021/01/18/bryn-morris-signs-for-northampton-town/amp/24 Year old England youth captain who played in 2 league 1 play off campaigns in 3 seasons, went to Pompey and spent a year on the treatment table and played in only 5 games on his return? The CV is attractive enough, sounds like he needs an extended run on the pitch to bring the best out of him? Problem is that having been signed by KC and given the current atmosphere he’s going to need to hit the ground running as we are definitely not a patient lot at the minute? Apparently he’s had 32 minutes game time since October the 27th so it seems unlikely he’ll do that so fingers crossed? Could be a gem if he gets that extended run though?

Let’s hope the January recruitment is better than the summer recruitment where only Mills has come out with any credit if you don’t count Sheehan who arrived subsequently . I still can’t see where he will play Miller unless it’s as a striker . We will never play 4 4 2 consistently because we have no full backs and so he won’t play wide left . He could play behind the front 2 now that we have signed another holding player alongside MacWilliams i suppose . The enormous cavity now is right wing back unless Adams goes and someone comes in . Otherwise i think Hoskins gets the job .

I think it will be Hoskins with Adams and Marshall used as impact players on both sides.

Maybe Miller too?

Yeah, it just seems weird following the 352 comments at Rotherham

I see in the article in the Chron these 3 signings were KC’s first choices, I guess no excuses now for the rest of the season.

I think Keith’s had the hard word from Thomas about future signings and the utter Horlicks he made during the summer with signing players from lower leagues who just weren’t good enough hence all the players we’ve signed ( on loan) are players he has know or tried to sign.

Believe this is wide of the mark, expecting them to sign Stockley from PNE shortly.

Hell of a signing for them...obvs the Tisdale link! Anyone else in to take Smith on a perm or just loan interest from Chelts?
