He was shocking last season at Hawks. Let’s hope something has happened in the 12 month’s in between to improve him greatly. Normally I’m quite optimistic about all things Pompey but this is a hard one to swallow. I hope JM proves me wrong.
I went to that friendly at H & W & he looked quite useful in the 1st half - held the ball up well & laid it off to other players. Second half he faded right out of it, but it was very early in pre-season & match fitness levels were low.
I'd go on this from a couple of Shrewsbury Snooze clone journos. They talk about Saydee from about 1.10 for a couple of mins.

That assessment of the Havant game would have more convincing if Saydee had played in the first half. He didn't. He came on for Harness at half time.
Ha, Ha you're WRONG again Dump Blue !!
I'll accept an apology
Here are some highlights of that friendly. Saydee was playing in the first half - the commentator mentions him quite early on - then there is a chip from him later in the first half that went over the bar......
Tunicliffe & Curtis scored first half & Vincent at the other end in the 2nd half....

You have an apology because my first glance at the team sheet on the OS saw no triallist in the line up, but Triallist A did play and that must have been him.
But the apology is immediately withdrawn because he went off at half-time to be replaced by Gifford so he didn't fade in the second half. The one thing I do remember rightly about the game was that we took all 11 players off at half time and had a new team in the second half ...which is what alerted me to thinking your comment must be wrong in the first place.
But yes, he played first half , and I remember his shot just over the bar from near the half-way line being his only worthwhlile contribution. I just thought it was in the second half.
