Do we actually watch players before we sign them or just work on their agents YouTube PR videos, as Mensah's looked a million miles away from being a Div 1 player from day one.

Midland Edit - Breaking news. It is Midland, he’s going out on a seasons long loan to the OTIB. Let’s hope it eventually turns into a permanent deal. Up yours

Wow, a season-long loan to Lincoln. What did Bernard do to deserve that?! Should have sent Rollin as punishment for his recent misdemeanor... They’re doing pretty well last few seasons on a roll like we were. Good experience for him , in hindsight I think DC and Mensah have probably realised that jumping up 2 divisions was a bit much too soon for him. We probably should have loaned him out sooner to be honest. Hopefully he’ll do well in league 2 and improve enough to compete in league 1 in the future.

I’m sure we will have the option to recall him at any time anyway? As you say it will do him good.

How many more of DCs signings will prove either Not good enough or not given a chance?

I think in the lower leagues he knew a lot of players like Taylor , Sinclair etc but at this level he is out of his depth, for me the last decent player he signed was sercombe who was 14 months ago

I think DCs signings have overall been good because we wouldn’t have had the success we’ve had if they weren’t but for me the jury is still out on Bennett. With the ball at his feet he looks quality and his movement is good but if you actually watch what he does with the ball the end product is usually poor. An exciting player but also a very frustrating player which to be fair is what Pompey saw too. If we can improve his end product we’d have a real top player on our hands because his body can do it but his vision to do it is lacking that little bit of quality needed to be a top league 1 player.
