I think if everybody was suddenly banned, I think if the January transfer window was stopped for whatever reason and everybody had to carry on with the squad they had, probably your league standings at the end of it probably wouldn't be much different to how they work out with the transfer window having been in place.

Yes.

There's always, at any one time, there is a forgotten, there's at least one forgotten man, I think, at every club, isn't there?

Sometimes, in Pompey's case, there's two or three or four or five.

But, yeah, he's a funny one, actually, Waddingham, because he was around the squad last season, wasn't he?

Yeah.

He was on the bench quite a lot.

He came on at West Brom and in a game, admittedly a game we'd already lost, he scored and people thought, oh well, he might have something about him.

He might be the answer to our goal shortage that we had at that time.

And he never sort of kicked on from there, did he?

And this season, I don't think we've seen him at all, have we?

I think he had... Did he have a quad injury?

Whatever that is.

Yeah.

It's a shame for Waddingham, because if he'd stayed fit, he might be the Mackenzie Kirk by now, mightn't he?

He might be the person who's had a couple of starts with Bishop rested or whatever, so that we could see what he can do.

And that may still happen with him.

Let's not write him off.

But the longer these spells on the sidelines go on...

You know, the more you worry about whether he's ever going to make an impression, A, at this club or B, in this country.
