Both replies have their merits and I agree with a lot of it.
Would still say we are not in an ideal position after having taken such a monumental leap up the world football ladder.

Lost our manager, best player, still a few signings short and a less than convincing pre season.
These things will be resolved over time, of course.
Now is a good time to play us, that was my point.

Agreed. As much as I am confident club will do their best to make team stronger at the moment we're having a very dodgy pre season and I can understand why some people including me are tad worried..

Lost manager who led us to the best season ever. Replaced him with experiment in two inexperienced coaches. Lost best by miles offensive player. Got spanked 5-1 by team two divisions below and 3-0 by a reduced to 10 players team from league below too.

Far from being confident going to the one of the best teams in the league on the opening day.

Yes, automatic relegation to the National League!

We are all aware we are navigating choppy waters and time will be a healer to most of the things mentioned.
Hard to compute in words, certainly wasn’t any bed wetting, just being realistic of where we are at. It will all come good and I’ll enjoy the ride.

That's all we can do - enjoy the ride, not wet the bed!!

I don't think any of us know what is going to happen but we probably all fear the worst - all we can do is hope for the best and put our trust in those who have got us this far

Not for the purposes of your specific head count, but at least with Honohan finally becoming available, at least theoretcially/practicably it is In: 6 Out: 7.

Still a bit skinny up front though.

Portsmouth have signed four new strikers with an average age of just over 20 - interesting approach.
