Been hoping to see him for a while, think he got injured last season at a time he was probably on the brink of getting a chance. Really hope this is the first of a few appearances in months to come.

Yeah.  Game was won, but thought he looked decent in what little time he had.

Also thought he looked good, and that he potentially might offer a bit more than Obafemi as a lively young option off the bench. Has looked good in a few of the 'B' team matches I've seen over the past couple of years too.

In the games I have seen and he has been playing - he has looked a bit of a handful more often than not.  In the Chelsea game last week aside from Che we looked small in stature as a team. Seeing Dan on the pitch yesterday leaves no doubt he is a big lad.

I also liked that when someone had a shot from distance (can’t remember who) he was following up incase Pickford spilt it (he almost did). Simple, but so many players don’t do it, and shows that natural strikers instinct.

Agree with this. N'Lundulu has always stood out when playing for the under 23s so really hope this is the first of more appearances to come for him. He certainly looked lively when he came on yesterday :)

Another academy product that looks to have the potential to be the real deal. Look who he has to displace though...can’t see him getting serious game time unless there’s a cup game against a lower league side coming up, which will be shame as I like the look of him.

If he displaces Long & Obafemi  then he become 3rd choice striker (perhaps 4th choice if you include Walcott), not beyond the realms of possibility. He possibly already has overtaken Obafemi in the pecking order or at the very least is competing with him.

I know the game was done, but thought he looked good again off the bench today.

He's done more in five minutes than Long has all season.

Curious how far Obafemi has fallen down the pecking order. His attitude must really stink.

Looked like he can become a handful. He's got great peers to learn from. The best striker prospect I've seen from Saints system in a while for sure.

Yes especially with Tella scoring four yesterday he must really be prime for a loan in January

Strange if perm, quite quick to give up on him.

Although I guess we need to generate cash from any possible angle this summer.

Good move for us and him. He's not going to get regular minutes for us, but needs to play. Good luck to him if it happens.

Disagree, he clearly isn't good enough.

Quick? He’s 22 and has made no impact whatsoever on the first team. He’s the kind of substandard squad filler we’d be well rid of if we want to recruit better.

Agreed, everytime he has come on he hasn t done anything worthwhile.

Get rid

For Saints it is... the club have only just released Hesketh and Sims at 25 and 24 years old respectively! 😉

He’s at the age where he’s too good for B’s but not good quite enough to get himself in the 1st team. 

Would have assumed it was a loan, but forgot his contract is up in 2022.

Easy to slate him, but we haven’t had enough players come through recently who you could say are too good for the U23’s.  It’s so difficult to be considered good enough to be a prem level player.

They had moments where it looked like they might have potential and could be worth persevering with. Dan… nothing.

I don't disagree with you in that sense, I don't think he's good enough either - we just don't have a great deal up top, he was our only option bar Adams and Ings as it was. I don't count Redmond or Tella as viable centre forward options.

Hopefully this means we are looking for another out and out number 9 - or nightmare scenario, Long is back...!!

Still have Obafemi too…

Sims yeah.

But I (personally) didn't see anything in Hesketh at all. Nothing.

Fair enough, clearly not good enough to be playing for us. Obafemi 2 years younger, better than him, and also probably won’t make it. 
 

No point him staying at Saints really.

Totally agree with you - not good enough. Shipping Long, Obafemi and Nlundulu and signing another striker would be great (we can dream).

It's what we need to do really, be harsh with the players who are clearly not going to make it. Whatever little money we can get will help.

Same with the Goalkeepers, shipping Angus for whatever fee is a positive. Not really looking at the fees we get, it's more the reduction in the wage bill and the space it opens up for either free transfers/loans etc. I think we need to clear the decks as much as we can - the big ones for me are Lemina, Hoedt maybe Forster....those going would make a huge difference to what we could do. We need to stop holding out for stupid fees with these guys, just get what we get and shift them on.

First touch is nowhere near good enough for the Premier League. He has some good attributes and may end up half decent but is never going to get any sort of game time here.

I agree with The Cat's point. Sims and Hesketh had the skills but not the physicality. He'll make a career in the game but not at the top level.

Good news Dan has signed a new deal :)Hoping he gets valuable playing time at Lincoln City next season. He will come back a better all rounded player.

Another long term contract handed out when the player barely deserves it. He’s 22, he’s not going to be a premier league striker so we’re wasting our very limited money once more.

I’d agree if we knew what his salary was. 


Although reality is his wages are likely to be very immaterial in the grand scheme of things, so club probs thought worth keeping on that front.

A two year deal may have sufficed, I hope he shows Lincoln how good he is.
