Unfortunately Downs made a bad job of looking like a footballer, let alone a lone CF. I mean he managed to get dressed in a kit, but that’s the extent of his contribution. However, his lone deal is absolutely pointless if SR manage to either not sign a proper CF or sign another dud. I suggest you do not hold your breath!

There's no evidence he did it himself. There's no way those shooting feet accurately got into a pair of socks and then boots, without help.

He'll be 'replaced' by Stewart, who is nearly fully recovered and will be considered ready to play three games a week again 

starting in in two weeks time

Did you mean 3 games in the rest of the season ?

Stuff of legend. In years to come people will be boasting "I was there when Downs completed a pass!"

I don't speak German, can anyone translate 'massifwankë'?

Guido Carillo was like Pele compared to Damion Downs. He was that poor and ineffective.

A very low bar.

Is this what happens with data-driven recruitment?

Maybe we should get people that know the game to go to matches and watch players rather than lock a load of nerds in a broom cupboard with a few laptops and an internet connection.

That air shot from 1 Yard out  against Wrexham was a beauty.

one or two posters tried calling it as an assist lolol

That really reads like they won't buy him. Someone on there compared their squad value with ours and surprisingly ours is higher. So unless he does something incredible while on loan, expect to see him back in the summer.

Plus the open goal he somehow managed to miss in pre-season

Some of the reasoning around those really were SaintsWeb at it's finest

On a par with some of the mental gymnastics that still goes on to try and refuse to acknowledge that Baz is fucking rubbish as well

Glorious stuff

Top 1 for me. 
 

Worst player I’ve ever seen for us. I wasn’t around for Ali Dia, but I can’t imagine him being worse. 

Ali Dia nearly scored when he came on, which Downs never did 😂

Carrillo - Downs - Juanmi

The trinity of shit.

He nearly scored against Wrexham. Could have defined his whole career in English football had he got his foot to it.

At least Ali Dia actually got a shot away and forced a save I mean. Downs some how missed the ball completely from 2 yards out when it seemed easier to score 😂
