Good control, spreads some lovely passes out wide, can take players on. Compared to Premier League players you're right. He isn't great. |  |

Personally don't think he even fits into our strongest eleven, so many people pinned our hopes on him being back in January last season and flatters to deceive, maybe since the injury he has lost the half a yard of pace. |  | |  |

Based on what? Pre-season. He's proven at this level and was pretty decent in the Championship over many seasons and is still the best finisher we have at the club. Even a lost yard of pace makes him pretty quick still. Don't agree. Sorry. |  |

I don’t think he’s as good as a Jackson or Norwood and I’d much rather have Lankaster or Dobra out wide as well. |  | |  |

Based on what? Football Manager? I hope Dobra is as good as he seems like he could be. Hugely exciting if so. But he's played well in an EFL game and scored a great goal for the U23's. Doesn't quite trump someone with hundreds of Championship appearances just yet for me. |  |

Completely agree. If we played Sears up front every game he would score a lot of goals in league one. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 15:50 - Aug 25 with 2481 views | KrakenBlue | He looked completely devoid of confidence which seems to be his downfall. Needs a good run to build it back up and I'm sure he'll do a job, he's a decent player when he's on form but its been a few years now |  | |  |

His excellent goal today should definitely help if confidence has been an issue for him - quick thinking, well taken, beautifully placed. |  |

Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 15:55 - Aug 25 with 2422 views | Parky | Not based on today as he was up against a decent set of Premier League players, but I don’t think he’s good enough. Probably makes a good squad filler. Hasn’t really done anything of note for years now, again; probably good to have around the squad, but I’d definitely be trying to sign a winger or favour Dobra, Lankester etc. [Post edited 25 Aug 2020 15:57]

Has pace and is positionally strong too. One of our better players today - he and Downes. |  |

Pleasantly surprised he still has that pace after his injury and time out - albeit slightly less than before I guess? (I'm no judge). [Post edited 25 Aug 2020 16:41]

Let's not forget his work rate either whilst we're completely dumping on the OP. |  |

Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 16:51 - Aug 25 with 2273 views | WarkTheWarkITFC | You've also got to remember the level we are at. Our last game we were narrowly beaten 1-0 by deserved champions Coventry with this team. Will Norris - Awful Gwion Edwards - Not a right back Luke Chambers - Past it Luke Woolfenden Luke Garbutt - Not a left back Andre Dozzell - in poor form Cole Skuse - Semi past it Jon Nolan - Awful Alan Judge - Nothing like what he was Freddie Sears - Coming back to full fitness Teddy Bishop Coming back to full fitness Personally I think we will be alright. How many of those would even be in our best team now. Garbutt in midfield maybe, Woolfy, Bishop and perhaps Sears. That says it all about our division. If we get a system in place and let players keep their places when they play well, we still have a squad that should comfortably in the top 6. [Post edited 25 Aug 2020 16:58]

Big problem for me is we need a centre back . I know easier said than done Pay Cap and all that but i have no faith in Chambers, Wilson or Nsiala , sorry Luke hope you can prove me wrong but feel your time might well be up ! |  | |  |
Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 17:55 - Aug 25 with 2128 views | JDB23 | Sears is fine for league 1. Maybe the injury has taken something from him but we won’t know until he’s played a few games. Look at some of the goals he scored for us even in the relegation season. A player like Norwood could only dream of finishes like that at Championship level. I think he’ll be a useful player for us this year if he’s come through the injury all ok. |  | |  |
Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 17:59 - Aug 25 with 2119 views | GlasgowBlue | He scores goals. And if he's fit then he'll score a lot of goals in League one. |  |

A lot of goals in League One, based on the fact he could not score a lot of goals in the Championship. The sooner Evans relieves himself of this obsession with employing nice chaps we will not grow or progress. Our supporters have to realize we have a poor squad and the weakest squad in our history. It seems the squad is becoming less capable every season and i hope i am proved wrong in the season ahead. |  |

The last time he played in League One with Colchester, he played up front and scored a lot of goals. 5 years experience in the championship with us won’t have killed off that natural goal scoring ability. He has been unlucky by the fact he’s seen to be able to play wide due to his pace, and to his credit he has always done so willingly. The fact is with an ACL reconstruction he may well have lost half a yard of pace. If this is the case I really hope PL will utilise him up top in a 2. |  | |  |

Best finisher at the club? Lol. He’s got 31 goals in 177 games for us. He’s a crap finisher and bar his first half a season with us always has been. His energy and work rate make him a decent squad player at this level. I’d be pretty underwhelmed if he was starting week in week out though. |  |

Sears technically is nowhere near good enough, loses the ball so much. on 22:50 - Aug 25 with 1863 views | eddiespearitt03 | Has been the standard of a GOOD League One player from day one so maybe he just might pop the odd goal in now and again. Unfortunately this club has always been a few players short of success and we have previously survived only because of the brilliance of players we no longer have. The kind of player we can,t afford anymore and the kind of player we don,t employ because we cashed in. [Post edited 26 Aug 2020 2:49]
