disconnect

Has anyone thought that the reason he's not playing is because he's said he doesn't want to be here? Hopefully the question will be asked, but it did seem almost certain he'd go, he hasn't for whatever reason but if he's not wanting to play then I think it's fair he hasn't been in the squad (although annoying for Saints).

Which is strange as seemed to be miles ahead of Manning.

Certainly looked good pre-season and has stood out in the few games I've watched of the u21s this season much like Robinson and Dibling before him have, albeit obviously not a promise he'll go on to be quite as good as those two. You'd think we still have Aribo & Matsuki not getting in the matchday squad ahead of him so it does look unlikely he'd get much gametime unfortunately. Shame we can't at least move Aribo on, but I think you'd struggle to get a better first choice 3 central players than Charles, Jander and Downes, so always will be tough to fit Sesay in this season.

Stewart going off injured… 😑

Did I see him do a knee slide celebration?! 😬 This used to terrify me when Ings did them too!

Fellows off?! Our only player who looks like he's going to get anything going. Should've stuck Scienza on.

Second time I've seen someone mention a mysterious Jansen! Quarshie and Wood both good, Stewart a bit anonymous.

Fawanews constantly buffering 😐

Agree that Stewart needs to show us something soon otherwise I’d persevere with Downs (after Archer) who needs to gain some confidence

Crazy decision, but is it another one of the 'deeper pockets wins' situations?! Imagine if Ipswich were winning and Blackburn down to 10, would they replay?

Credit where it's due - thought he looked awful in the pre-season match last year against Oxford but seemed semi-competent last season in a terrible team, even though doesn't look as natural on the ball as some. Played well last night and showed some actual strength, which has been seemingly missing from our powder puff backline for a while. Thought Quarshie was also decent

He looks completely devoid of confidence, unlike his pre-season cameo where he took the run and smashed in a lovely finish. Not the best start, but still think he'll turn out to be semi useful, just needs to put himself about a bit more!

Looks like a quality player. Well done to the recruitment team, definitely good enough for the prem.

I thought Fellows has looked pretty good, but same as Azaz, actually needs the ball played to him and get him on the ball so we can see what he can do. He's been playing off next to nothing. I was expecting the left side to be Scienza - Robinson - Fraser in that order, but seems it's currently Fraser - Scienza - Robinson. Still fully expect Scienza to be number one, but would have Robinson as the impact sub over Fraser.

Sadly making him captain was a truly terrible decision and had coincided with us being generally awful. Wasn't our unbeaten spell of the promotion season when he was out injured?!

Possibly injured? I was expecting him to go back out on loan as did well last season, but that hasn't happened.

I think he will take time, but initial signs not good, and clearly lacking in confidence. For a big guy, not wanting to challenge in the air is not good...

Bit harsh on Fraser (who has surprisingly been one of our better players this season so far), but I think we've got to see Scienza - Azaz - Fellows - once these guys start to play together I think we'll start ripping teams to pieces. Azaz a bit quiet but a nice through ball for Downs who with a bit more confidence would've buried that, and Fellows has looked decent on the rare occasions he's got the ball. Scienza will turn their right back inside out.

Very interestingly Still stated "How many times has Flynn Downes played the ball into Finn Azaz - Zero". Sounds like he's identified we need to get the forward to the creative players a bit more...

At least we do seem to have a couple of players now who might be actually able to score from outside the box - Scienza, Azaz, Matsuki(!) maybe Jander? Not sure players like Downes or Stewart have this in their locker, (but very happy to be proved wrong).

Feel it's a bit harsh - was looking like he was making things happen in the second half and was brought off as he was growing into the game. Commentator (Dowie?) said similar. Also thought Fellows was looking more dangerous as we got more of the ball and think him on one side and Scienza on the other are going to win us a lot of games. Jander impressed when he came on, hopefully someone with a bit more drive from the middle of the park will help our creative players a bit more. Downes generally awful and agree that Roerslev was a bit disappointing but did make a few good tackles.

Do they ever have other matches (e.g Championship), or just ROI games?

Feel like he's been badly advised, but looks like he was definitely on his way with his 'bags packed' picture the other day. Hopefully Aribo gets his move.

But it is played on Football Manager! Hopefully we can move to a back 4 and see if they can actually do the job..!

Roerslev, Harwood-Bellis & (theoretically) Jelert would get into nearly every team in the division, and even Stephens, Quarshie and Welington would probably be on most teams wishlist. Wood, Edwards and Manning are very strong backups too.
