| Relying on recruitment again 21:12 - Nov 29 with 2005 views | ringwoodblue | The Jan transfer window is already being mentioned as the thing that will make the difference and help us secure a top two or playoff place. However, our summer recruitment hasn’t exactly worked out as hoped and the “need time to gel” excuse was trotted out so why would the Jan recruits be any different? I think more disruption to the squad is the last thing we need, we have enough quality already but McK needs to coach, get them playing together and realise their potential. After all that’s what he’s being paid to do. Having said all that, I agree that we do desperately need another striker but that’s the only addition I would make in Jan. |  |

| Relying on recruitment again on 22:28 - Nov 29 by Steve_M | There’s a structural imbalance in a squad that has four right backs and one defensive midfielder, o clear solution to be a number 10 and is still a striker light. That’s what needs to be resolved. |
It needed resolving in the summer, it's still early days though. As Ashley said on the verge of December, the league isn't won after 10 games... |  | |  |

I never said they did, however you are advocating getting rid of our 2 top scorers and bringing back Chaplin who can't make the Pompey starting 11 and hasn't scored all season, and Burns who hasn't played for ages and may well not be the same player he was before. Burns also was less effective in the Championship than he had been in League 1, even when fully fit and in his pomp. As I said, an awful take. [Post edited 30 Nov 12:44]

I mean you literally said let’s replace our main goal scorers with Burns and Chaplin, you literally used the word replaced. I think your problem is you’re just looking at stats, very simpleton view I’m afraid. I carry much more weight on overall performances, team contributions and how the sum of the parts marry to make a team. As I said, you’re showing me terrible ball knowledge, and I can’t discuss football with people like that. |  | |  |

Do a forum search for “January” and you’ll find quite a few posts talking about strengthening the squad in January and this improving our chances of finishing higher up the table. |  |

Ah, so posters on a forum. There's likely people on here who think the moon landings were faked. Not sure you should take it literally. |  |
