I thought, given the fee accepted, there must have been a need to get an addition over the line in the final days of the window but it seems we’re now merely adding squad fillers at a time when we still have sizeable issues with creativity in the squad.
The decision to go into the season with Mowatt-Molumby still as our starting midfield duo, and having such a lack of pace in attack is a mistake. Think we need to prepare ourselves for a few more frustrating Pompey style draws again!
I've only seen him playing kids football for England 21s but Illing-Jr looked direct and pretty rapid. If he has any aspirations to reach his early potential he needs to be much more than a squad filler here. He really needs to make a big impact.
