Pompey and Ipswich are smashing this league, we are only 13 pts behind!
It's all those league 2 players they signed.
Again, it's an easy punching bag, but let's look at the players having standout (or not standout) poor seasons thus far:
Stockley: signed from Championship Preston
Aneke: signed from Championship Birmingham
Inniss: signed from Premier League Crystal Palace
Clayden: U-21 winger being asked to play LB (which obviously indicates deeper lying issues with squad depth)
Players we want to see more from:
McGrandles: League One Lincoln
JFC: I know it's complicated with him, but signed from Premier League Brighton, albeit a few years ago
DJ: Then League One Swindon
Kirk: Very mixed bag and did have some good games and some very poor ones, but signed from League One Crewe and played in the Championship last year with Blackpool
There are some mitigating factors in there in terms of injuries, but none of them were signed from League Two.
