John Messina

John Messina is asked about the Derby atmosphere, protocols between rivals and his spat at St Mary's with Will Still.

John Messina is emphasising the need for Pompey's recruitment strategy to fit the bill right across the pitch, saying, There has to be that balance you have to strike.

Tom Chappell, described as a fan writer, has been granted a page on the BBC website to pontificate.

Pompey Sound's keynote contributor Mick Robertson, three BAFTAs, two Emmys and a Peabody, takes his weekly opinion piece to another level as he coruscates the wavering weak need among Pompey fans.

Tayo's had a pretty good season and scored a lot of goals, which is the most important thing for a centre-forward.

Obviously he has scored for us as well so that's where we are keeping an eye on him, ultimately Tayo's a second-year scholar so we're gonna have to make a decision on him.

Nothing soon, but he's made good progress this year.

He has a bit of everything he's not the biggest, but his movement is good, and he can hold the ball up well.

The biggest thing with Tayo is what we saw in that Reading game, he has a decent enough eye for goal, and will get across his man.

That's ultimately what centre-forwards are paid to do, score goals, and he has done that in abundance this year.

If we thought Tayo was ready we'd call him up and have him with the first team, but at the minute he's on a good line of progress.

He's probably not ready for the first team at the moment if we thought he was then we'd have him back.

At the minute he's doing well where he is.

The goal that put Blackburn ahead was a brilliant goal by Ohashi.

I didn't really know he had this in him.

Gets the ball on the left-hand side, runs past the defender, cuts inside onto his right foot, and bends it into the right-hand corner.

It was brilliant.

And then there is no player in world football who pulls off assists like Josh Murphy does.

It makes me put my head in my hands.
