    Deserves a start against Palace?

    I'd be starting him upfront with Altidore against Palace if it were my choice. The thing that always impresses me is how composed he looks, never appears to be under pressure, brings it down well and has a good touch and control.

    I think his time has arrived and until Fletcher is fully fit I'd be putting Sess on the left wing with Gia coming inside alongside Cabral, or Sess on the bench for a few games.

    Never looks good when he starts, but got to at least try for a bit.

    I'm chuffed to bits he scored last night and played well. I've admired him before he came to us.
    Your time has come to shine Connor.

    Hope he doesn't fluff his chance like he did against Norwich last year

    Yes I had a quick look at it matey... As foolish as drink driving is, I wouldn't hold this charge against Sessegnon anymore than his not so hot performances so far this season, in terms of team selection. Whether PDC sees things in the same light is an altogether different story.

    With regards to Connor, I have the feeling that his time may have arrived and only a regular run in the team can answer the question.

    i think he will actually get a fair crack under pdc. i dont think he was ever given a real chance under mon. he played that cup game at bolton and that was it. young players like him need minutes under the pitch and were not blessed with striking options

    Think it was in Di Canios post match interview on SAFCEE but I'm sure he said that Wickham came to see him the other day and they spent 45 minutes talking with PDC being impressed at Wickhams desire to ask for advice and listen to what he had to say.

    If the penny has dropped and Wickham has realised what an opportuity he has here to learn from a coach who was a top top player in his day then it can only bode well for him (and us)
