Pompey Talk returns with Tuesday's mid-week defeat at Plymouth an irritation that just won't shift. On this week’s show, head of sport Mark McMahon and chief sports writer Neil Allen discuss how Pompey lost to the Pilgrims, bemoan the Blues' lack of cutting edge without Colby Bishop and ask - what's happened to Kusini Yengi? The Portsmouth Supporters' Trust's AGM with the Pompey hierarchy is also a topic of discussion, plus Rich Hughes' summer transfer business.

00:00They've got to look at Bolshevik in that position. There's 10 games to go before January.
00:06John Massin is still assessing the situation, assessing the squad.
00:10They have to assess whether Yengi is good enough for this level.
00:14He's stepped up, so he needs games. Everyone needs games at this level.
00:17He's just come back from injury, so he has to be eased in a little bit.
00:22He has to give him a bit of patience, but they have to assess whether he's good enough for this level.
00:27Before the season started, we all thought Colston was good enough for this level.
00:30Some people thought he was better than Bishop.
00:33We're all confident, so they have to look at that situation massively.
00:37The other issue is Bishop.
00:39The club won't say when he's coming back, because they don't know yet.
00:44They don't want to rush him, which is understandable, isn't it?
00:47Will he come back the same player? Will he be able to play 90 minutes?
00:52How long will that take to ease him into games?
00:55There's going to be a tremendous amount of pressure and reliance on him when he does come back,
00:59because people need the old Colby Bishop to score the goals.
01:02But it's not going to be that simple, is it? It's into the unknown, isn't it?
01:06So they have to look at that goal scoring situation up front.
01:24.
