League One LIVE!: Latest news from Pompey press conference and around division
Key Events
- Danny Cowley due to address press at 2pm
- News on Brown and Hiwula’s fitness
The new Merson coming to Pompey
Cowley brings an end to the presser by joking he going into a recruitment meeting now to find the best player we’ve ever seen!
‘I’m going to find the new Prosinecki, Diarra or Kanu,’ Cowley jokes.
‘Actually I’m going to find the new Paul Merson, but only with two feet - so he doesn’t have to use the outside of his boot all the time!’
Impassioned finale
Just time for the Pompey boss to absolutely stress he has no intention on sacrificing his principles over the finale to the season. No going back to the approach the players have operating under Kenny Jackett.
‘You have to have your principles and stick to them,’ the Pompey boss says
Talking on recent results
‘Felt we let people down on Tuesday - but I pick myself up. We have to enjoy it - go live it!’

‘Felt we let people down on Tuesday - but I pick myself up. We have to enjoy it - go live it!’
We’ve been hearing how good the players are - time to step up?
‘Four games to go - time for us all to step up,’ Cowley says
Looking at opponents
Just some talk of the test expected from Bristol Rovers. Usual polite response but more colourful about Joey Barton and his career in the presser so far.
