I find it so irritating that Edwards isn't going. So much talent. Wish he'd been given the chances that Winks and Skipp have.

Is this a joke. Winks and Skipp are model pros that seem to live and breathe the game

Edwards by all accounts is another if the many that had raw talent but turned out to lack the application to really make it and in many cases were simply just utter bell ends

Hopefully he still has time but seems more like he will go in the Gio Dos Santos / Ravel Morrison / Adel Taraabt bucket than someone that makes a genuine mark on the game

it's 1-1 against dulwich, tob with our equaliser. sounds like we've played a lot better 2nd half since binks, richards and markanday came on.

TOB has been our best player. Even though he’s only been on a half you can see Markandys got something, good balance, good movement nice left foot. Shashoua neat and tidy but was ineffective really. The rest of them I wasn’t impressed with tbh.

good to hear tob did well.

it's a shame hinds was shackled by having to play left back as he's typically always one of our better performers, maghoma can also be very good on his day but is also just as capable of being at the other end of the spectrum.

Was at the game. Poor first half. Much better 2nd, with TOB pulling the strings and scoring a very good strike. Thorpe looked good when he came on. We were vulnerable to breakaways, and they missed a pen when Oluweyami brought down their striker, and should have been sent off. But we created much more in the 2nd half and could have won it.

He failed training, with fitness issues etc. And very shallow in game management.

Thanks Hercs. I was wondering what was happening with him after coming back from a loan where he seemed to make some, though limited progress

Don’t know how anyone can disagree, but there you go. Wasn’t an opinion.
Further info that Brentford
I’m probably stupid but what is “shallow” game management ?
Hasn’t a clue what’s going on in the game. Just gets the ball has a dribble and hope for the best.
Lion saying 4m agreed with Brentford if Maupay goes. That does take some believing even with Lion’s Itk record.

Hang on I’m confused I thought you said Brentford rejected him ? Now saying £4m agreed ?

they didn't reject him. he was doing light training with them as well as having physio done on an existing injury. he couldn't complete the fitness test and was sent back. brentford management are unsure on him, they think he has big talent but are cautious over how he could effect the rest of the squad. that was as of last week so things might have changed since then. i don't know who or what lion is though.

Edwards has an injury. He’s had it for a few months. He’s being treated by the Spurs medical team.
