The mistakes seemed more frequent than they should be with Brayford and that continued last season with us.

Knee injuries do a fuck a lot of players up, especially players who rely heavily on playing a high intensity sort of game like Brayford did, and players who rely a lot on a turn of pace. So this sort of injury is likely to affect Brayford quite a bit, it's just that he wasn't really any better before injury - it's possible that was a blip but personally I think it was a bit more than that. Many players do come back from these injuries though, it depends on the individual. Although I don't think injury's the main factor behind Brayford's deterioration, his age and the type of player he was only cements my opinion that he won't recover his old form and we should cut our losses.

We'll wait and see what happens with him this season if he stays. If he stays injury free in a better team I expect a bit of improvement but I'm not expecting him to get close to the levels he showed on loan and look like someone we could rely on in the Championship.

Interesting and well argued debate on Brayford. Both Ricky and Grizzly make excellent points to support their opinion. Pity other debates can't follow suit..

I have to say I'm more in agreement with Ricky's side of it, Brayford is a pale shadow of the bloke who joined us on loan and I'm struggling to understand why?
Is it the injury? Ricky's theory does carry some weight for me.
Is he still 'recovering'? Hopefully this is the reason and we will see a better version soon.
However, despite the theories, I've never been over enthralled with him even when most were ejaculating when discussing him 18 months ago.
He's OK as full backs go but has too many weaknesses to be regarded as anything more than average, even at this level.

Yes I believe so meaning the pitch money came out of the other 35% that we couldn't spend on player wages. Not sure where transfer fees fall within the rules mind.

Or carrying forward into the next year?

Was it maybe just a moment where everything clicked for the team for a few months? Scougall wasn't the same player after, Baxter wasn't the same player after, Harris wasn't the same player after etc etc
 
We could have paid less for the pitch, I recon they've narrowed it by about 1.5M in front of the family stand

I told pommpey this last year and the money invested in the Desso doesnt affect the FFP rules but he ignored me and carried on his obsession of bashing McCabe

Funny old thing that. Because we flogged Murphy around the same time. People say 'the Desso money was never part of the transfer budget'. So where did that money come from, considering we'd flogged our best players for the past three seasons?

And, above all else, what the fuck warranted us buying such a luxury? Did we have successive seasons ending in fixture pile ups because of postponed matches or any reports of the state of the pitch affecting results? I mean, how come we sell decent players, have no money to buy decent replacements yet somehow have cash to spunk on a pitch we have just had one season underperforming on?

You say I ignore you on matters, Silent. Yet you fail to answer any of the above salient points. Try not to obfuscate the mater as though we have had a million or so slushing about the club we can't spend and decided to jizz needlessly on the Desso. I guarantee that the day McCabe fucks off this club will turn the corner. You still don't have an answer for the consistency of shitness overlaid by his tenure. He is the only thing left (apart from the fans and the ground) since we dropped from the Premiership and we have not improved one season since then.

I know, I enjoy Pompey_Blade bants and posts but why are we discussing the Pitch pomps? We've just been promised 2 new players by marsh blade or marshjihi as we call him AND he sez they are both in the starting line up on Satdi, and Pierre's PC posted two reight funny gifts (how do you do that Ppc?) and I spit me tea out an.......

My answer is that McCabe is a Blade and is doing his best to get us back into the Premiership, his biggest mistake is listening to Turry when it came to appointing Robson as our new manager. Again, the Desso pitch is not the reason why we failed to get promotion

a. The cup money. This was publicly stated at the time
b. Our pitch was a complete mess. the Desso pitch saves us money every year.

The club and I believe it was Jimbob Phipps said part of the revenue raised from the cup run we had would be allocated to fund the Desso pitch. I think it was the run in the FA Cup to the semis
