Full team: Adam Smith (Northampton); George Baldock (Oxford), Curtis Nelson (Plymouth), Aaron Pierre (Wycombe), Joe Jacobson (Wycombe); Ricky Holmes (Northampton), John-Joe O'Toole (Northampton), Matt Crooks (Accrington), Kemar Roofe (Oxford); Jay Simpson (Leyton Orient), Matty Taylor (Bristol Rovers). Not a Pompey player in sight which makes me think that the players that the club have recruited are not as good as some people (The News principally) think or believe. I have said it before and will say it again, the club need to scout the London area, like Palace do, for talented players who may have just slipped under the radar. I am sure there is more hidden talent there than in the places that Cook is looking at (namely Sheffield United reserves)
What, Ides !! Not even Brian Murphy in goal ? I don't belieeeve it ! (as Victor Meldrew used to say.....)
