Jay Robinson

[benali-shorts]

Very tidy full debut today - good balance, two-footed, aggressive and with a desire to get forward. Hopefully he'll stay involved with the first team next season. 

[LuckyNumber7]

Very impressed, one of the few positives. Could be a nice bonus for us next season.

I know Sanda didn't have a huge amount to do but I liked the look of him too. Those two and Ballard will hopefully get more game time next season.

Looks a tidy player and a nice and easy chant ‘score a goal Jay Robinson, Southampton loves you more than you will know whoa whoa’

I didn't watch the game today, but hopefully he can kick on with a bit of confidence. If he's to be a top player, he will look head an shoulders above in the Championship. Same with Dibling if they don't cash in on him.

 

Ballard however just won't cut it it. Will probably ly end up kicking about league 2 or the conference long term.

Agree.

He’s certainly an ok player, but I don’t think he’d got the pace of a forward attacker. There were times today when he looked well behind the pace of Sulemana which is hopeless in terms of providing support. Not a starter for me.

Ready made replacement for Dibling!

I know it's nice to see academy lads come through but he's hardly set the world alight this season in League One. We can't afford to give handouts next season.

Jay Robinson looked really good today. A top talent, hopefully both him and Kayi Sanda will get more gametime next season.

We sent him to a shit team that got relegated. His finishing for the under 21s has looked excellent since he came back. Maybe I am being too generous - maybe another loan is the best option, to a side that will actually create some chances.

I thought he was poor in the first half. Most of what he tried ended with a poor pass. In the second half it looked like he felt that he belonged, and he began to impact the game in a positive way. His confidence grew, and he got better and better.

Sekou Mara looked superb in a handful of apps. for the U21s.

He seems quite big for a winger/wide forward. Not convinced by his athleticism but looked tidy enough.

Agree x 2. Watched him in League One this season, just looked really off the ball compared to what are some rather average players in that league. Give it two years and he'll be at Eastleigh.

His injury at Reading came at a really bad time. It seemed like he was just starting to find some form and the Reading fans were taking to him but that patellar tendon rupture really set him back. He hasn't looked the same since.

Hints of Ryan Seagar, and his injury at Crewe, hopefully a better outcome for Ballard.
