Squad7 May 2029

The division’s best young player: Luke Brooke-Smith

A whole season of being the finest 20-year-old anybody in this league could put on a pitch. Portsmouth have him, and everybody else now knows it.

Market7 May 2029

Adrian Segecic is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Portsmouth is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad7 May 2029

The season belongs to Marcos Senesi

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Portsmouth have had the benefit of it.

Squad7 May 2029

Remember the name: Luke Brooke-Smith

He is 20, he is averaging 7.27, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Jason Palmer says Portsmouth went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market7 May 2029

Adrian Segecic wants more than Portsmouth are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

The dugout7 May 2029

Jordan Williams frozen out at Portsmouth

This is not rotation. Jordan Williams has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Portsmouth is pretending otherwise.

Squad7 May 2029

Josh Knight in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Portsmouth this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market7 May 2029

Portsmouth and Luke Brooke-Smith are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match23 Dec 2028

Still nobody has beaten Portsmouth

The unbeaten run reaches 15. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Ibane Bowat pops up at the right end — 7.25

7.25, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Player ratings25 Dec 2028

Luke Brooke-Smith beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match19 Dec 2028

Abu Kamara the difference as Portsmouth beat Sheffield Wednesday

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Abu Kamara. 3‑1 against Sheffield Wednesday, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout25 Dec 2028

Ibane Bowat gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market25 Dec 2028

Portsmouth promote Charles Collins from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Charles Collins has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market25 Dec 2028

Oliver Miller steps up from the Portsmouth academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Oliver Miller has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market25 Dec 2028

Portsmouth promote Robert Murray from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Robert Murray has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
