I get there’s probably a bit of a language barrier but we’ve seen enough of him in pre season mainly because we hadn’t signed anyone yet to know he’s solid. He looked sharp against Norwich in the cup too, actually wanted the ball which matters when the team’s got low morale, and he’s got that bit of spark others just don’t. Honestly I’m done watching Downes look useless both defensively and going forward. I get we don’t see training but what more does the guy have to do? Bet he’s already feeling demoralised with this circus, being overlooked while we’ve got players who are "sick". Would’ve much rather seen him come on than Aribo last night that’s for sure.
