Hunt and Atkinson gone.

Also, it's in the 'News' section on the fishy site - not the main page.

I agree with your observations. I too think that a lot of our defensive frailties were down to weaknesses in midfield which too often over exposed our defenders. Clearly we still need to employ a much more combative element into our midfield before the start of next season. One of my favourite mantras is; defend higher up the pitch!

Thanks both - strangely, not in the Portsmouth News , and I rarely look beyond the front page on fishy

[football19]

All the best to both lads,great pros and players.
Defiantly down to money but the club can only pay what it can afford !!!

It is now, but it certainly wasn't earlier.

Very sad indeed to see Rob Atkinson go. The "goals against" column would have been far worse had it not been for him, although Tom and Lloyd also played their part. As others have said, the problems lay elsewhere.

Very weak midfield,plus lack of a regular keeper, as far as i'm concerned, but then i aint qualified.

Wish both lads all the best. Each can be said to have genuinely contributed to the club's success in their time.

100% agree

Hunts wages where high
Atkinson was found out more than fans like to admit, I never rated him at all and many of you slagged my good name because I had a different opinion.

Who gave you the impression that you have a 'good name'?
Surely not anyone on here, or, perhaps, maybe Cashy?

I'd never slag you off, Davo. You're well-balanced, with a chip on both shoulders.

[football19]

Got to say Davo puts his head above the parapet (like a few others on here) and is not frightened of giving his opinion.
Surely that's what forums are all about ?

When folk can't or won't give their opinions, its time to pack in in my view.
