Deji Sotona

[Upton Rover]

I’ve herd this player is a trialist with us and playing tonight, I can’t make it tonight so any reviews on how he played would be appreciated, he was at Man United when a teenager, and was offered another contract in 2020 and refused as Patrick Viera wanted him at Nice, were Viera promised him first team football, Viera’s sacking and then the Covid pandemic put paid to this and he was put in to the reserves. A friend of mine who lives in Waterford told me he would be a good player at this level and above, and is highly rated but never had a good chance to prove this.

[Filo]

Quicker than Rashford apparently

[ncRover]

I hope he’s great and signs for us because that is a superb name to concoct some chants for

[GazLaz]

Another Reo type gamble. Not for me.

[Branton Rover]

Unusual he’s named in the starting lineup as normally known as A trialist - is this significant or is McCann just open about it.

[Sammy Chung was King]

You can hear it now Sotona oh oh oh, Sotona oh oh oh.

[goalkick]

You missed a ho out.   Volari.

[Chris Black come back]

Quicker than Rashford apparently

They said same about Ro-Shaun.

[Alan Southstand]

Causing problems at Boston, apparently!

[Sammy Chung was King]

He’s big in Boston, instead of Japan.

The good thing is Gaz we have chance to look at him and then decide. With Reo McSheffrey never saw him signed him in January on 2.5 year contract. He wasn’t good enough when we signed him and he’s shown that he still not good enough and got slower.

[Alan Southstand]

Not a gamble, Gaz, he’s on trial. It seems he’s causing serious problems for the Boston defence - one already on a yellow card for a bad challenge on him. What would we have given for a player like him, last season? So Schofield could have played him at left back!

[Bessie Red]

Oh Deji Sotona, oh Deji Sotona and repeat!

[Colin C No.3]

Oh Gaz….we humbly await your in depth, all knowing appraisal. Would you excuse me whilst you give it oh wise one?  For some unknown reason I’ve suddenly become all nauseous.

[RoverinLincs]

He was outstanding tonight, tore them apart in the first half, despite being completely poleaxed from behind after 15 minutes. Get him signed up

The oracle has spoken.

[Dutch Uncle]

Might depend if we land our 'terrific signing for FL2' player or not?

[roversdude]

The lad looked really good tonight albeit against lower league opposition. Definitely been schooled in the Prem you could tell the way he screamed before the defender made contact. On the 45 minutes he played he deserves at least another chance

[Lincoln Rover]

On the 45 mins we saw of him….very impressive.
Certainly worth a further look.

[Scooter]

Yep. I’d play him at York

[anton123]

Hurst had a good game last night as well

Bit of an overreaction to someone providing an opinion!

[Padge_DRFC]

Nobody knows a thing about him which obviously you could say is a gamble. However it's not really a gamble if he's signed with a view of being the third or 4th choice attacker and not taking a huge chunk out the budget.

When Reo signed it was like he was supposed to come in and be the main man and was generally useless

[normal rules]

Concerns about the complete lack of game time the lad has had . But he is very quick with the ball
At his feet and created a very good chance for himself in the first half only to pass the ball on un selfishly

Maybe part of the conditions of the trial is to get his name out there.

[Mike_F]

He's only just signed for Burnley by the looks of it so I'm guessing it was a trial before committing to a loan. He was absolutely brilliant last night. Yes it was against a National North team but his skill, pace, passing and work rate were superb.

[Filo]

I would think if we were interested he would go to Scotland with the squad

He’s a free agent

That reminds me about Wellens answer when he was asked why he never made the Man Utd first team.
He said, “Four words, Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, Keane.
