I'd find Morris a pretty underwhelming signing. He fills a shirt and does little wrong, but it's hard to say what role it is he fulfils in midfield. He'd make an adequate squad member as he could act as reasonable cover across a few midfield slots, but coming from Pompey I suspect he'd be looking for more money than we should be spending on a reserve.

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.

Watson won fans player of the year and was our top scorer, and McWilliams came 3rd in the POTS vote. But you’d be devastated if both were still playing for us next year? It’s so reductionist the old  ‘everyone’s bad start it all again’. Do you really think it’s a good idea to have a complete new starting eleven?

Completely agree, we have areas in the team that are more than good enough to get us promoted and others that aren’t even close!.

Taylor would be very decent in League Two I reckon, bit of an donkey but could do with a dominant aerial presence. Obviously would have to be for a fraction of the wages he was on for his first stint here.

I dunno, it was when we dropped into League two last when he became awful. He was better in League 1 for some reason.

Interesting looking at the team stats where we were horrible. Really poor at possession and passing completion, but so were Gillingham who did fine. There were some more surprising finds as well. Our tackling sucess was near the bottom of the table. We attempted the least amount of dribbles in the league. Our shots on target was terrible, but in particular in the 6 yard box we were bottom by a bit.

If this year is all about the data, I guess that is what we'd be looking at.

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 **** terrible season.
That's not what I said.
In my opinion Morris would do a job for us in league two in central midfield, with or without McWilliams alongside him.
It's the other 4/5 positions ahead of the back four that Brady needs to do a job on.

100%, and I'm sure that Brady will agree. Oh, and the keeper too!

I think I would prefer Lloyd Jones and Horsfall to Ash Taylor.

Because when we dropped into League 2 he tried and failed to force his way out of the club to Peterborough

Hes better than what we have contracted and would do a job in league 2.

I hope we sign him if I am honest.

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.


I would assume with 5/6 strikers on the books, we are relying on some of those leaving before anymore coming in.

I doubt there will be many in line wishing to sign them!

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.

Not many would disagree with this; you have already called for opinions if Morris was resigned with mixed results. If JB resigned Mitchell would people go along with JB’s decision?
