It’s a guess but I’m pretty sure that Potter ordered this blackout because of the desire to protect some young players from the covetous attention of certain Northern Monkeys who are going to ridiculous lengths to unsettle and play mind games with them. The decision to keep EVERYTHING under wraps to shield his squad is very prudent because young lads DO pay attention to their social media feeds and, frankly, some of the antics we’ve seen are very unwelcome in this phase of pre season.
Potter understands the psychology of elite athletes and I’m hugely glad that he is applying his knowledge to manage the situation. Anything that gives certain “influences” who are seizing on every tiny snippet of information to upset our potential key players purely to distract and cause mischief is unwelcome.
It’s no secret that certain fans of certain clubs feel greatly offended that we aren’t sticking our arses in the air for them. The lengths they’d go to are seemingly endless. Better wrap these lads in cotton wool is by far the best option.
worst thing isn’t the typo - there was a thread on it I just couldn’t see it and my search of Portsmouth didn’t bring it up
