Personally I think he's been..... on 20:49 - May 17 with 5615 views | Bloots | ...average so far. He doesn't look for the ball as much as our CMs do and looks a bit slower once he does get it. I still think I'd prefer Sheaf from Cov. |  |

He's not fit and has still been running their midfield. He'd be an excellent signing and when fit, better than Sheaf who will end up at Luton in the champ. |  | |  |

Agree with this. Although Soton are looking to get wide early on in their attacks in this game so he's being bypassed quite a bit. Still like him and think under KMc and our coaching lot he'd improve significantly. He's got all the right attributes for our style of football. |  |

Decent but think fans going overboard if he wasn't ex ipswich would u really notice him. |  | |  |
Downes on 20:57 - May 17 with 5474 views | MeltonBlue | The player I like is Brooks, I always thought at Sheffield Utd he was a great talent. Bournemouth must have a great squad if they can loan him out.. |  | |  |
Downes on 21:01 - May 17 with 5434 views | wkj | He's playing with much more maturity than ever before, but I am not blown away |  |

Downes on 21:01 - May 17 with 5426 views | _clive_baker_ | Should be right near the top of our shopping list IMO. Fraser looks finished. Making some good runs but a first touch like a trampoline. |  | |  |

The only player I've seen this season overrun Morsy in the home game against them, thought he was outstanding. When he's fully fit (he's currently playing with sciatica), I think he's one of the best pivot midfielders in the league and would complement Morsy well. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Fraser looked really poor, just been subbed so maybe not 100%, but that was a shocking 65 minutes from him |  | |  |
Downes on 21:33 - May 17 with 5206 views | J2BLUE | A 25 year old Downes being coached by McKenna...could be a key part of our Prem (hopefully) team for the next 5-6 years. I would be surprised if he's not high up on the list. |  |

You'd imagine Southampton will do everything to keep him if they go up but agreed would be a great signing for us. |  | |  |
Downes on 21:41 - May 17 with 5082 views | Cheltenham_Blue | Downes? The same one who stuck in a transfer request when Palace came sniffing? The same one that then did his MCL and when he came back said he had ‘no regrets’ in asking for one? The same one that said he STILL wanted out, even though the palace interest had cooled. The same one that was upset at getting a few boos back here? The same one that at the beginning of this week that if he’s leaving West Ham he wants to stay at Southampton? THAT Flynn Downes? |  |

Yes, none of that is a deal breaker. |  |

We have some very sensitive souls in our fan base that take what happens in a cut throat industry very personally. |  |

Indeed, The club was a basket case for years when he was coming through, then Cook put him in the bomb squad while we were in league 1, and he is now a premier league player, he was right to want out at the time. |  |

Yes that one…. Perfick fit, NOT with the current Town squad. Billy big Bollox would be a rotten apple in the barrel in my humble opinion. No thanks , saints or wet spam can keep him. |  |

You tried hard and failed miserably to discredit him. Yes, the same Flynn Downes who served the club from the age of 7 and made the right call to leave dross managers to go and win a European Trophy and deserves a bit more respect imo. |  | |  |

Would be superb to see him and Woolfie playing together for Town in the Premier, no? |  | |  |
Downes on 22:46 - May 17 with 4582 views | wkj | Despite my earlier comment, his run for the 2nd goal was really nice. Without a doubt hes playing much much better now a days. |  |

Watched the second half and didn't seem to do much to me...... The Smallbone looks a better player........... |  | |  |
