Deal to take #pompey boss Michael Appleton to Blackpool hinges on two clubs agreeing compensation @solentsport understands
Gazza no1 although if Boruc can sort himself out and get fit then him - but sounds like he might have caused a bit of an issue and where we are in the league, the last thing we need is for someone like him in our team.

Fair play to those that went up last night. I didn't get up there due to work unfortunately, but the ones that did sung their hearts out - came across very well on the TV.
He hasn't been at the races for the last few months for whatever reason. Touch has been off and also seems to be drifting wide a lot like he did in Adkins first year with us.
Thought J-Rod was again the better of the two last night.
Lallana had a shocker tonight. Thought Fox actually had a pretty decent game.
Ramirez not fit. Both CMs's massively underperformed. Lambert looked disinterested.
Morgan, Davis, Ramirez, Lallana, Yoshida, Lambert, not been good enough at all tonight.
Don't think we've actually been THAT bad in the normal positions. (Fox, Fonte).
Swansea and QPR games are now HUGE.
Despite being a striker, J-Rod offers far more defensively than Punch IMO.
Also we can change that formation,
Could be a midfield 3 of Davis, Morgan and Lallana with J-Rod and Gaston either side of Rickie.
Rickie in the whole behind J-Rod with Lallana and Gaston wide.
Lambert up top with Gaston playing behind with J-rod and Lallana wide would be my bet though. Lots of fluidity available though.
