What was the point in loaning him out to sit on the bench for Bristol City. 

Good stuff from the Wurzels
I have faith in George ...but I agree with the drama queen Sir  Alfred's post to some extent...I was expecting more from him this season there tbh.
I rate him highly..so the bar is high .

Potts has started regularly all season with Pompey languishing in the bottom 3…

They drop him, and win back to back games to ascend the table.

You're a fucking idiot ferret if you think that he's been a regular all season and one of their better players, they rave about him down at fratton park

If you bothered to follow what he's actually doing then you'd know he's out injured which is why he's not playing at the moment

The Ferret is clearly James O'Brien

Hopefully last night is a turning point in the managers thinking.
They have another 12 games & possibly the playoffs

Not in favour of loans of more than one season but both in the Championship is good development but both have to come back in the summer & work to be in the squad 
I have hopes for both especially Earthy. Small sample but liked the way he passed and moved against Luton & he combined naturally with Paqueta. Seemed to be on the wavelength of better players

Has a knack of beimg in the right place as both goals were similar to the one he got in his appearance last season.

But, with limited minutes at Bristol, its still too early to judge imo.  And although he has not done much, if anything,  wrong when he has come on, equally he has not “caught the eye” which the successful future Prem players tend to show even early on.  Jury out for me, as with Potts, on whether he will make it in the top flight. Hope he does but no strong indications just yet.

Lad came off the bench last night to turnaround a 1 nil deficit with two goals and a 2-1 win.

Be good to have him back at the Club next season.

Why on Earthy did we loan him to them?

Earthy came on in the 84th minute yesterday and although he only had 10 minutes he had a few nice touches on the ball, was neat and tidy and opened up the Cardiff defence twice, I don't understand why Liam Manning doesn't give him longer or start him, it's not as if Bristol are on a winning streak, hopefully he'll get a run in the side soon

Reading a few Pompey forums, the consensus seems to be that Potts is one of their, if not most, gifted players technically and works very hard but is still too lightweight and lacks the physicality at times.  That seems fair and arguably justifies the loan move to the Championship. Its a gruelling schedule but should help toughen him up a bit? 

George Earthy and kaelan Casey have been called up to the England U20s

Anyone know how Flynn Downes is getting on at Southampton?

I see Tottenham started 4 17/18 yo’s in their Europa win in Hungary
We seem reluctant to give any a chance
Scarles signed a new contract this week, he should be on the bench ahead of Cresswell & should have played at Liverpool
Id have loaned Earthy & Potts out til January & then assessed whether they should come back & be involved or whether continuing at Bristol & Portsmouth (or elsewhere) is best

Earthy has to be in a Bristol City team that isn’t pulling up any trees now that he is fit again

I have a lot of faith in georgie boy.

I don’t normally do this, but I thought I would check out a Bristol City fans forum. Many fans bemused that Earthy didn’t come on. They also seem to hate Liam Manning.
