Been at Gillingham. Rather injury prone past 2 years. A good player when he wants to be, but doesn't show it enough! Watched him a fair few times last season and he goes missing an awful lot.

If he can keep his fitness up and get a run of games, he will probably be back to his best which is easily a top League 2 team. I remember him in League 1 with Gillingham and he look comfortable there.

#pompey Football League press release just out. Looks like further 10 point penalty on the horizon as condition of getting share back.

7 players, possible -10 points. Tick tock tick tock...

EDIT: Confirmed -10 points, 3rd deduction in 4 seasons.

Portsmouth have been told by the Football League they will start the new season on -10 points if they are to be allowed into League One.

Sad but true.

"I have an option to go back to the Army, but I want to see how it goes and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to express myself in some of the friendly matches and show the manager what I can do.

"Fitness is obviously a big thing in the Army so I have enjoyed that side of it so far.

"I can't say how I'd cope with League football as I haven't played any yet.

"But I am confident in my ability and I'm more than willing to give it a try."
