The Blues’ season is all but over with three games to play – after their faint play-off hopes officially ended with a 1-1 draw with Morecambe.
But one positive is they can get a head start in their summer preparations.
It’s set to be another pre-season of immense change off the field as Danny Cowley looks to re-shape his side to enhance their promotion credentials.
The club currently have 17 players not contracted beyond this term, and decisions need to made sooner or later on their futures.
Here’s what we think the club should do – and what individuals need to do to secure success next term.
17. Harry Jewitt-White
After penning a new deal this season, Jewitt-White could add much needed depth to the engine room. However, patience will be needed with the teenager as he finds his feet in the professional game. If Pompey opt to invest in a new centre-midfielder in the summer, which they should, the Wales youth international may benefit from a loan like Haji Mnoga. Photo: The News
18. Jay Mingi
Hopefully, the Fratton faithful can get another view of Mingi before the end of the season. It's hard to judge whether he should be offered fresh terms, but maybe the club could do so just to cash in on the midfielder as he drew attention from clubs in January. Photo: The News
19. Ryan Tunnicliffe
After a fine start at the club, Tunnicliffe hasn't reached the heights of his early performances. As a result, Pompey should cash in on the midfielder who has a year remaining on his contract to raise funds for further acquisitions. Photo: The News
20. Shaun Williams
Hasn't done enough to earn a new deal at the club and is the type of signing Pompey should refrain from making in the future. Photo: JPIMedia
