That's when you know a player is back to training - when you see them in training. Surprised people believed that Aneke was back without any training sessions and "could have played last week".1

good news although hope kirk doesn't see the photo - his receding hairline on show will make his fiddling about wth his hair go into overdriveCallumcafc said:Spotted in training.1 -
agreed - i was surprised when it was said coz as i mentioned a few weeks back, my mate saw Aneke hobbling about like an old man down at David Lloyd - in the pool area - never a good signmendonca said:That's when you know a player is back to training - when you see them in training.

Think Egbo is going to be quality once he finally sees the field. Yes he was plucked from League 2 but it was obvious to everyone that saw him play that he was too good for that level.
Not sure if he plays left back at first, or Clare switches sides so that Egbo slots in at right back.
I say that I believe in Egbo but I also had McGrandles as my sneaky POTY candidate and look how that's going so far (haven't lost hope with him yet but it's been a rough start...)1 -
Top marks from me today. Was involved in a lot of the good moves we put together in that second half. Looking forward to seeing more of him.15

He’s such an unusual looking footballer. All legs. But think we will look a lot better with him and Sess both fit and playing.Callumcafc said:Top marks from me today. Was involved in a lot of the good moves we put together in that second half. Looking forward to seeing more of him.
Having Clare as a second choice is not a bad thing whatsoever.4 -

Indeed He looked pretty decent today, especially since he's lacking match fitness.
I'd still like to see Clare given a proper go in midfield tbh.2 -
Good cameo. It would be criminal if we didn’t see more of him.0

Do we think Egbo starts next weekend? If so, does he play on the left or does Clare switch sides?

Wouldn’t be shocked to see us start 352 with Clare at CB, Egbo the RWB and CBT LWB.Callumcafc said:Do we think Egbo starts next weekend? If so, does he play on the left or does Clare switch sides?0 -
I think after the first half on Saturday, 3-5-2 should probably be binned off. I would expect to see Egbo start at RB and probably Clare LB unless Sessegnon is fit enough to start. Wouldn’t mind seeing Chin get another run out at LB, thought he was harshly dropped after a solid enough first gameCovered_End_Lad said:

I wouldn't be shocked to see 3-5-2 again if we need to match up against a team like Bolton or Forest Green who are in a similar formation and running rampant down our flanks.NabySarr said:

I agree I would like to see Chin again, but like Clayden he should be used sparingly, especially out of position.2 -
Maybe it would be better with Leaburn/Aneke as the other striker. But I’d much rather see more of a 3-4-3 if we want to go for 3 centre backs as this means we still have JRS in his best position.FishCostaFortune said:

I agree I would like to see Chin again, but like Clayden he should be used sparingly, especially out of position.But you are right that we conceded goals to both Bolton and FGR due to them having an overload/spare man due to the system so we will probably see 3 at the back against other teams that play it. Strange that we went for it on Saturday when Fleetwood haven’t played it this season though1 -
Yeah, I am miffed about that as well. Also I understand that we wouldn't want to drop Rak-Sayki or play him as a wing back - but if we were going to start with 2 up top then it really should have been Leaburn and Stockley.NabySarr said:

Agreed, something like this would be interesting:Wollacott
Clare Inniss Oconnell
Egbo Dobson Fraser CBT
JRS Leaburn Payne

Swap Payne and CBT then maybe but still think we'd be better off with a back 4 and teaching our defence how to defend crosses properly.1 -
Yes that’s what I hope we try if we need to go 3 at the back again. I think it would help solve our attacking issues as would free up the wingers to get closer to Stockley if the wing backs are wide. Defensively could still be a few problems with EOC playing on the left behind CBT and with Fraser left of a 2. The right and middle of that line up looks very strong but I think defensively our left side would be a weaknessCovered_End_Lad said:NabySarr said:

Have to say, although he was playing on his weaker side and it was pre-season, I was really worried about Egbo. He looked a little slow and uncoordinated.
Think he’s low-key been fantastic since coming back into the team though, both defensively and in attack. Hope he can maintain this sort of form.10 -
He plays like a winner.....and somebody who is interested in the performance they deliver!4
-
He's top quality. Clare unlucky to lose his place but it's absolutely the right decision.12
-
Serious baller3
-
So not really a “League 2” player then.
Anyone know why he has M Egbo on the back of his shirt? Do we have another Egbo we don’t know about?4 -
best right back weve had since luke young3
-
Slight upgrade on Matthews, eh?
Great player.4 -
Think him and Sessignon are proper players. Massive losses at the start of the season. Keep them fit and we are a different team. Would love to see us get Sess in perm.3
