“Manny actually joined the group today for the first time since I’ve been at the club. He’s been out for a long time. He only did the first part of the session – the warm-up and the passing exercises – but, having been through quite a few longer-term injuries myself, I know how important that is in the rehabilitation process.
“Manny’s been brilliant since I came to the club,” he added. “Off the pitch he’s motivating, he’s driving standards and he’s always in our team meetings. It’s good to see him with his smile back on the pitch this morning. He’s nowhere near just yet from coming back in, but that’s a nice step for him.“

I do have a tendency to overrate new signings, but before his injury I was seeing him as possibly the best player in our squad. I think it'll make a real difference to us if he can regain full fitness.
Any news on Egbo? He had ten minutes as a sub up at Morecambe, but have heard nothing since. Not on the bench at Cambridge, and didn’t feature for the U21s either.

He was in the crowd with the fans, had a smile on his face, looked like he was having a good time.

If I recall rightly, Holden said that he was going to be on the bench, but Sess became available and offers more options from the bench, so he decided to go with him instead.

Let's hope he comes through unscathed. Arguably our best signing in recent times.
Egbo 6.80
Ness 6.75
AMB 6.64
Dobson 6.62
Team average 6.13
Can't find a stream sadly.
Look forward to seeing more of him. He was electric at RB before getting injured.
