Social media reaction

Here’s how Pompey fans are reacting to deadline day so far.

@mike1101952 ‘I would say we are weaker then stronger now. Whilst hoping & praying for a Pompey win tonight with effectively 12 points to make up to scrape into the playoffs. If we fail 2 score tonight the season is effectively over whatever spin is used.’

@Adam040557738: ‘Pompey - ideally a permanent striker and centre mid. Sneaky feeling we will get a centre mid in and no striker due to last day demands from clubs.’

@Josh0logy: ‘Pompey only have 2 centre forwards in the squad and both are on loan. Have we ever gone into last day of Jan without owning a centre forward?’
