Maybe in some aspects, but at least Al Hamadi had a goal in him... |  |

Azon on 14:47 - Oct 1 with 2202 views | Steve_M | He was one of several reasons why we weren't very effective last night but, given the amount of match-time he's had since he's been here and the disjointedness of our attacking play then it's not a great surprise. It didn't help that the ref last night basically gave Rob Dickie permission to have his hands on Azon's shoulders everytime the ball went towards him. |  |

Incorrect, he's been here over a month, has played in four games. So far, his best moment is hitting the post against a team that was already beaten. |  |

Azon on 14:57 - Oct 1 with 2076 views | Vaughan8 | Now he is someone we're going to have to give some time to unfortunately. His last start was in January for Zaragoza in Spanish Laliga2. He's 22 years old and hardly prolific (yet!). He's come to a new country etc. What were you expecting? |  | |  |

To be clear, I'm not looking to dig a player out and I hope as much as anyone that he comes good. I'm just struggling to figure out what he brings and what his game is at the moment.... |  |

So if/when he scores a goal, you would then know what the player offers (in order to answer your question in the OP)? You've asked what he offers? Its quite hard to tell in 3 small sub appearances and last night. I thought he did OK to be honest. Definitely not our worst player out there. |  | |  |
Azon on 15:00 - Oct 1 with 2023 views | EuanTown | Much when he is up to speed. Lack of fitness and understanding of the McKenna way. Will come good, and not had much game time. |  | |  |

A couple of people saying "give him time" is hardly a backlash! |  | |  |

And from what I saw, he looked pretty handy in his previous cameos. Strong in a challenge, a bit 'niggly' with the opponents (Delap-esque), good work rate and tricky in the box. Last night he was less effective, but the ref gave him no protection. I'm confident he will be a very good addition. |  | |  |

Azon on 15:06 - Oct 1 with 1919 views | Dubtractor | Remember a month ago when Matusiwa looked absolutely lost in his debut against Birmingham? And how he now looks a rolls Royce midfielder? Maybe just consider that most players don't hit the ground running at a new club, especially those coming from a different style of football. |  |

And of those matches he’s yet to play 90 mins. Against Derby he came on very late on, against Blackburn he came on when the tide came in and I think against Pompey he came on in the 70th minute. Very harsh to judge him in those matches. [Post edited 1 Oct 15:14]

Azon on 15:16 - Oct 1 with 1820 views | TractorJack | Don't see why he needs to be singled out. There was some good stuff from him last night alongside some not so good, as with virtually the whole team. |  | |  |
Azon on 15:16 - Oct 1 with 1816 views | Metal_Hacker | I think he'll be one of those KMcK rough diamonds that once he's had a good old polish he'll be great He's strong , physical and is as fit as fiddle Another 3-4 weeks and some more game time with a little winner against our friends thrown into the equation he'll be brilliant IMHO [Post edited 1 Oct 15:16]

Azon on 15:19 - Oct 1 with 1772 views | BouncebackIpswich | I think he's shown some good link up, first touch, strength / determination, and he's made some good runs beyond the opposition back line, lots of positives for me and he looks like he can adapt to playing against giants every week. |  | |  |

Azon on 15:20 - Oct 1 with 1759 views | _clive_baker_ | He's young, he's moved to a new country and in to a very difficult league, arguably the hardest level he's played at. Like Egeli he'll need time to adapt and adjust. There might be questions around whether going into the season with only 2 out and out 9's including him is / was the right call, but that's not on Ivan. Personally I would've liked some additional and more proven competition for the role, but we are where we are. |  | |  |

We won 2-1 on Saturday. In what way were Pompey "already beaten"?! Bit weird mental gymnastics to try and say the effort wasn't as good as it was. |  |
