Appy: Players have to fill squad gaps
Michael Appleton admits he has no choice but to ask his men to play out of position.
The Blues boss raised a few eyebrows when he employed striker Marko Futacs in a wide role in the later stages of the 3-2 defeat at Cardiff City last weekend.
But with Pompey’s ongoing financial crisis threatening to prevent the club from adding to their squad in the final few days of the transfer window, Appleton knows he has to make do with what he’s got and ask players to play in unfamiliar roles from time to time.
