[davefizzy14]

I noticed that too that Downs is looking very sharp in training.

Does anyone have some sunglasses? I just saw something VERY bright

Were we ever given a reason for his absence from the squad on Saturday? 

Surely in the minority here asI'd like to see him given a chance under Tonda but seems his days are numbered.

We've had 11 reasons why he's not getting a sniff. 

Even if he improves, he's not the kind of striker we play with (strong, physical and can play with back to goal).

Not sure this is it when BBD was given minutes. At least Downs has youth on his side, BBD has no redeeming qualities.

Apologies, I missed that completely!

cheers for coming

[CB Fry]

People on here were very quick to write him off when he first joined

[AlexLaw76]

I will never ever forget in the euphoria of beating Wrexham at the death, a few tried to claim DD meant the assist for the winner.

And rightly so.

Wtf is the “sprint season”?

Endnof the 2027 season reads Christmas 2027 to me given that their season runs March to October.

Is this the case?

[AlexLaw76]

The announcement states the loan is to the end of the MLS Sprint Season (what ever the fuck that is).

But looks like it is until May 2027...

They're having a shorter season early next year (the Sprint Season) because MLS is changing from being a summer league (played Mar-Dec) to a winter league (played Jul-May) to bring themselves in line with the major European leagues from July 2027

Basically just means Downs is with them for the remainder of this current 2026 MLS season (ends on Dec 18) and also for the 2027 MLS Sprint Season (February to May) and he'll be due back here in June

They would then begin their new MLS league calendar of a 2027/28 season that runs from July 2027 until late May 2028

We once had a dream and that dream was Bazunu, Downs, Kai Sanda, Larios and Renako

[Turkish]

Never understood why he clearly had talent remember that Wrexham assist!!

Do we think he’ll get a goal for St Louis? I’m voting no

Double D is going to get multi conversions now he’s back on the Major World League Soccer Series. I’m really rooting for him and he’s gonna convert lots of head shots  inside the penalty zone and foot shots from all over the end zone. Goal minders are terrified a Double D as they know what a fricking awesome goal converter he is!

[Cuddles]

We're going to regret this. Who is going to warm the bench now? At Staplewood?

[Saint Keef]

Bye mate. Thanks for.......um.....uh........oh never mind.
