    Gonna be out for the season, ten minutes into the game on Saturday isnt he!!


    solly 2.0?
  • Ironically probably boosts our chances of keeping him longer term! Solly would have played in the Prem if his knees were up to it.

    Nah, he wasn’t ever going to be tall enough.

    Yeah that is a worry for him. Hopefully he can sort it out

    Too injury prone to even think of keeping

    Maybe not if we signed two proper left backs.

    That’s my concern, but also the reason there’s a chance we could sign him permanently.
  • Sadly we’re a bog standard league one club that must make do with injury prone players, youth and punt loans plus a couple of average signings. Unless we are in a position to change that we’re staying put.

    I would like us to sign two left footed defenders. One as a wing back. Another as someone who could play LB or a left footed CB.

    If SS is fit ( doesn't he have a possible operation due?) I would consider him as a versatile squad option because he is better than this level. Could see him going back to Plymouth now they have been promoted.

    I agree, we need to sign at least 2 half decent left backs, who can play 90 minutes, and also another right back, as i can't see Egbo playing a full season next year, just hope we can get the recruitment done on the defence ASAP , so we've got them for a full preseason.

    Sess needs for his own sake to get that knee sorted. A bit ridiculous really that we've had a loan player whose minutes have had to be managed all season.

    I like him as a player has real skill. at level that many of the senior pros do not. 
    But the season blighted by injury in particular a knee injury. 
    It certainly meant he did not end the season as well as he started, I hope he can over come these physical problems. I doubt he will come back to us I am sorry to say.

    I'd love to sign him if he's available but I think he's going to end up at a championship club if he becomes a free agent

    Is he out of contract with Fulham having the option of another year? Wouldn't be surprised if they take that option up and loan him back out but he's never going to be a premier league player.

    I hope we don't sign him, primarily because I can't take another season of people complaining that he isn't left footed and therefore CANNOT play left back. It has worn me down. I hope our next left back doesn't even have a right foot, I hope he hobbles around on just the one. It will be easier.

    He'll still somehow injure his right stump..

    For you we’ll go one better than that , we’ll get one with two left feet

    Yeah I think there's an option there for Fulham but I wonder if they release him and take the training compensation for someone that's not going to make their first team

    I heard from a very reliable source that he loved it here & would like to join permanently. He us free agent in the summer & although he has had talks with Fulham he is looking to leave & seek pastures new.

    However, I dont think we can compete on wages & I think he is too good for League 1.

    He's been decent, but not outstanding when compared to previous loan players in that position like Maatsen or Dasilva. 

    Looking at the statbank, he's had no assists for the season in the league, which is disappointing for a modern full back.

    I think because he was playing on the left it was more difficult for him to get assists. Instead he has played a lot of passes a bit like the one he played into Campbell for our 3rd on Saturday. He actually plays more like the really modern full backs we are now seeing at the top level like a Cancelo, helping us retain possession by being an extra option in midfield, with the width more being created by CBT/Campbell who are in the position to get the assists and Sessegnon is often the player making that pass to them 

    I think he’s been one of our most consistent players this season, and we’ve really missed him when he’s been out injured (partly through lack of decent replacement options). I would be very happy with him signing on but think it’s likely he will be playing in championship

    If true that he’s loved it here despite everything going on in the background, then there’s something to be said for that, regardless of whether he’s a championship player or not.

    Thought all our defenders had two left feet to be honest.

    I agree he is a Championship player but his injury issues may put a few clubs off.
  • If we manage to sign him I'd rather see him at right back and we bring in a proper left back for the first time in about 5 years

    Likeable chap and good when fit, but we've been down this road before haven't we? 

    Where's the learning?

    Good player and one of those "too good for league one" signings, mainly, because his knee/ general fitness has to be managed.

    Seeing as that went so well with Cheatke... And to some extent Inniss. 

    Pass.....
