RECAP as winless league start to 2022 continues against Charlton Athletic for Portsmouth
The gap to the top six is now a sizeable 11 points, with a win really needed to give some hope and optimism to the Fratton faithful.
Of course, the game is being played out against the backdrop of deadline day with Pompey set to announce new striker Aiden O’Brien’s arrival from Sunderland.

Time on the January business
So it appears the O’Brien deal will the final business of the January window. Obviously some frustration at not being able to land Jamie Lindsay or Lewis Wing on deadline day. Aiden O’Brien arrives to bolster the forward line, but even that deal smacks of a short-term fix. We’ll wait and see on that one.
