Makes sense given the stunt he pulled at Hartlepool of just downing tools when he wanted out. Not seen one thing so far to indicate any repetition of that though, has looked like his head's been in every minute of every game he's played.
Part of it could be said game rust, he sat out for a while, though I also wonder if there was a point that had to be proven that he was a team player first.
I think a large part of it though is down to how well Malachi Boateng has played for us for the most part tbh more than anything else, but now Sylla's style is complementing the rest of the team better.
