Was he? Or was he a player who wanted to win every game which wasn't necessarily reflected in the rest of the dressing room??
A mature, logical and interesting interpretation that puts my somewhat emotional outburst to shame. Still think he’s a knob though.

So Powell got released by Crewe, backs up my spot at Sixfields the other day
If he is resigned it just shows the ambition of the club

Long time no see.
I think the most important signing for us is going to be the goalkeeper, who was the last dependable one we had? Who would be available and decent for L2?
I don't think we will see any strikers in unless some move on, think Chuk should be starting every game at L2 level if he is still with us.
On the current squad, is this what we have at the moment?
GK: Woods (Academy)
Defenders: Harriman, Bolger (Maybe gone), Horsfall, Mills, Dyche, Flanagan
Midfielders: Sowerby, McWilliams, Cross
Forwards: Hoskins, Chuk, Rose, Smith, BAS

Bryn Morris is on the release list for Pompey today. I for one would be happy to see him return! I think he is a League One level player and could see him being someone to control games for us in League Two. Also if we are going to play two strikers as Brady mentioned I think McWilliams and Morris will be able to play as a two in the middle of the pitch quite well as they compliment each other's skillsets nicely. What are everyone's thoughts on Morris returning?

It’s all about opinions but not for me thanks. He started off pretty well but then it got to the point where I didn’t even realise he was playing. Plus he is very, very slow.

6/10 for me. Not quite a midfield general, not quite a dominant tackling type, not quite a quality ball player. An ok sort of player so wouldn’t be thrilled to see him sign, but we could do worse if that makes sense?

I wouldn’t sign Morris, If we didn’t already have Sowerby contracted then maybe but I would rather see the budget spent elsewhere on more creative midfielders.

Exactly, Morris pretty much the same type of player as Sowerby, who's already in contract so a definite no from me... JB has said he wants pace, power & athleticism...that in itself rules out a Morris return... So many players available so the sooner we appoint the head of recruitment the better...

Unfortunately the pace, power and athleticism thing would apply to Daniel Powell - just a shame JB didn’t add end product.

Don't we still have Dylan Berry as a goalkeeper, he was the choice ahead of Woods before he got injured.

I think so, can't see him listed anywhere though.

Yep I’d definitely have him back, miles better than Sowerby, a McWilliams and Morris pairing would be more than good enough for the pub league.

It’s a little bit worrying that if we get Morris back, Watson and Lloyd sign we only have 2 spots in the starting line up left to fill, a RB and GK. Last year our RB was one of our strongest players. Last year our starting 11 bar a couple of individuals were absolutely piss poor.

Arguably 4 or 5 spots, as we will need new wide players (Hoskins might not be guaranteed a start) along with a new forward. Mills might have competition at LB also. In my opinion the centre back and centre midfield areas were by far our strongest areas of the pitch last season and do not require revolution particularly as the comparative quality of the division will be comfortably worse next year. We need considerable improvements in our goalkeeper and wide players. A midfield playmaker with a bit of pace who can play between the lines would also make a huge difference. The wide players need to have the ability to beat their defender 1v1 and have decent delivery. Once these are in place I can actually see our forwards scoring a lot more.

So you basically want the midfield 3 that was consistently embarrassed in league 1. Progress. Why on earth would we be clammering to resign anyone from this f***ing terrible season.

I reckon I agree with your posts more often that any other poster. And this is bang on the money for me. I’d be devastated if we had two of them let alone three.

I just think we need to be cautious with how we use our budget for next season. For me it’s clear the two areas where as much as possible needs to be spent are creativity and goal scoring. There is also no guarantee our top scorer (from midfield) will resign too, our attackers were woeful last year with under Brady goals more likely to come from the full back and centre back than a striker.
