There is a Scunthorpe journalist crediting us with an interest in bringing him back. Aidan McCartney (CT reporter who now covers Scunthorpe) has retweeted.

I couldnt stand him the first time round. Up there with Haynes and Hussey as the most useless fullbacks I've witnessed.

Nowhere near the worst full back we've ever had but suffered from being massively overhyped when breaking through, a bit like Giddings and Haynes. I think Dabo needs to be given time to settle - he's looked a bit nervous so far but compared to how Sterling looked at the start of last year he's been pretty good.

Last time I seen him play was home last season first game he looked one of their best players not sure any truth in this though did he play under robins at Scunthorpe?

Just checked he played under Robins at Scunthorpe,possibly be something in this ? Knowing us we will get him in readying to cash in on Hyam.

He played under Robins here first time around. He isn't a terrible player by any means, that spell he had playing at centre back smashed his confidence.

Honestly think that was the best he ever played for us when he got put in at centre back.

I don't have bad memories of him as a player. Will have a lot more experience under his belt now.

Do we need him though? Seems like it's budget we could be applying to other positions

Gave a way a pen? So unlike him. Can't ever remember him doing that here.

I saw him quite a few times during the Sixfields season. He was very versatile and played all over the pitch, even up front once, I seem to remember. He wasn't that bad at all.

I’d say no purely to avoid the clueless whinging.

Is he one of the home grown players who gets loads of chances to prove themselves purely because they are home grown or one of the homegrown players who get instantly slagged off because they are homegrown? Can’t decide.

Pask able to cover right back, centre back, so probably don't need him. Still think it's midfield/winger/sriker cover before defence.

What is with the ridiculous hyperbole on this forum.

He was very young when he broke into the team and was playing in the Championship.

I think he's turned into a good full back at this level.

Both. Also, wasn't he the one who had a fit celeb girlfriend?

Thought that was the one.

But I’ve been reliable informed both ways that only one of them happens. I’m so confused.

Has he? Bit different playing in front of 3-4000 every week with no expectations. Easy to fly under the radar.

It rarely works when a player goes back, he was just a kid when he was here before and made some mistakes as they all do, he always seemed to react to a situation on the late side but that may well have been due to his age

Yes, I was there. The penalty he gave away was in the last few minutes or the last minute.

Thought so - we had some televised crackers that year, Sheffield United at “home” was 3-2 I think

His complete mis-kick was a joy to watch. Came home with one of our pre-match training balls though.

He wasn't too bad, suffered from being played at wing back by Pressley when positionally he wasn't up to it. Rate him though as a right back.

bit of a Marcus Hall decision, albeit lower down the leagues
Was never a great player but came back and did ok

I didn't mind him......except for the fact he was always conceding penalities with needless tackles in the box.
