TF - it always intrigues me how football managers (not just JJ) see players/styles etc much differently to supporters. Not saying the latter is always wrong, but in the case of departures sometimes it makes a lot more sense if you're in the tent...

Me too Rob. I still have faith in CC and JJ to know what they’re doing as they see these players a lot more than fans do. On a different topic I see people getting miffed because we’ve given Reading 500 extra tickets for Saturday’s game apparently.

Not much difference between signing a short term deal and having somebody on loan until January

Spit - “D - All of the above”

4 month contract, we must be skint or waiting for the bond to reach 3 mill 😀

Another good youngster never given a chance by Jackson yet Sasu can do no wrong

Made nearly 30 appearances for Reading last season and it’s only a short term contract.

I remember Yiadom playing for Reading...

I don’t know Andy Yiadom, but at 34, I assume he will be beaten for pace by plenty of the speedier attacking players on other teams…?

Andy Yiadom

Kai Jennings was on the coach within 10 mins of the game ending at Huddersfield. Seemed a bit odd to me. Almost like he had walked off in disgust or been sent out of the changing room.

New Signing 🚨

Andy You Dons signed!

I am not sure how much game time Jennings would get and if he is doing well at Crawley, we have a recall option. Think that works well. Could do with another midfielder now especially if Reeves goes. 3 or 4 signings needed before the transfer window shuts.

Decision hasn’t gone down well with the Dons fans on twitter.

Players like Sasu, Jennings and Nkeng are decent footballers but dont fit into our style of play

8 goals in 25 games for jennings at sutton.glad we have plenty of goalscoring midfielders at the club

Nice win for England 4-2 over aindia in the Hockey World Cup in Amsterdam

Think jennings showed enough at sutton last season ,but it's obvious that either JJ doesn't rate him or he is not keen on jackson ball.

To be fair would you honestly advise anyone to sign a contract extension if you had their best interests at heart?

A,season long loan at Crawley confirmed by club on X for Kai

Regarding Jennings, shrug. I've heard the hype but not seen anything to justify it. His first half in the last home game of last season was woeful. For his sake I hope he is getting good advice. I don't blame him for wanting regular first team football and he's not ready for League 1 but he's not guaranteed that a Crawley but at least it's local for him. Anything we can get off our wage bill in our current financial plight without materially impacting the team is a good thing.

I appreciate Reeves is a bit 'past his prime' but who are the leaders in this squad when we shift on the more experienced players? When the younger players are on the pitch it's usually Reeves talking to them and mentoring them. Our relegation season was riddled with negative mentality and a lack of leadership. At risk of repeating the same mistakes.

The other thing with that loyalty scheme is it says you continue to accumulate points this season but does not mention if and when previous points accrued expire or if people will change category during the year for going to games (higher priority) or not going (lower priority) because the thresholds change. Are they trying to have a certain number in one category so it rewards loyalty for games that we might get a ridiculously low allocation (e.g drawn away to some non-league team in the FA Cup or away to Bromley) and benefits the right people?
