A great result!!! While Curtis does seem to have a very positive effect it is interesting - and satisfying - that - despite the flurry of transfer/loan activity - eight of yesterday's starting eleven were with us last season. Perhaps shows that fine margins make a big difference.
What was noticeable was that not one loanee signing started!! Would love to know the cost of assembling the present Pompey squad. Anyone know?
Of the starting lineup yesterday, only four players cost a fee I believe Christian Burgess (circa. £150,000), Jamal Lowe (£40,000). Ronan Curtis (£100,000) and Oli Hawkins (circa £100,000) - £390,000 in total. On the bench, only Brett Pitman (circa £80,000) and Luke McGee (circa £80,000) cost a fee. Roughly £550,000 spent on Saturday's squad - pretty impressive eh ?!
