Pompey fans want key positions to be filled
A central midfielder had been prioritised following the summer departures of Michael Doyle, Amine Linganzi and Stanley Aborah.
But with left-back Tareiq Holmes-Dennis likely to be out for a while with a knee injury, is there more pressing concerns for the manager?
We asked our Facebook page followers what they thought.
Here’s what they had to say...
n Play Haunstrup. He seems decent and deserves a chance.

Joe Parsons
n I’d hope for a CM to replace Baker, he was a very obvious weak link against Rochdale.
Jake Meyers
n If we can only have one, a midfielder is key, otherwise we will get muscled out of some games, especially away from home. Talbot and Haunstrup can cover left back.
Ian Nisbeck
n Why not both if Roberts wages will cover it?
Short term loan of a LB (until New Year) and a CM either permanent or a season’s loan.
Jason Butcher
n Should have kept Linganzi. Need a midfielder badly.

Andy McCallum
n Harry Forrester has been told he is Free to leave Rangers! Could be a great signing for us!
Michael Jones
n Bring in both.
George Stevens
n Need a left-back. If Brandon got injured got no one at left back.

Sowesterly
n I still think a left-back so we have 2 fit again. Roberts wasn’t likely to play and we have cover there.
