This. He is comfortable under pressure with his feet and they can trust to play back to him playing out of the back. He is also comfortable playing that ball to the central midfielder. Right now i would sooner have these attributes than a good long ball. I think that will come in time (and Mads long balls were not particularly great as well).

Class. We kept the right one.

Palace weren’t getting thumped. West Ham look in real trouble and their fans are toxic

Why so we miss out on the PL seasons when other teams implode. West ham's start has relegation written all over it. Feels a bit like ours when we went down a few seasons ago.

I said before i wanted to go to this but it was sold out by the time i had a chance. I really hope the fans get behind the kids.

Which is even worse. We are still paying him and hes dragging the squad down when he has a role in it to perform. I had hoped there was a chance he would stay but i hope this deal gets done quick now as we need reenforcements of our own.

Sheff Weds 2nd half skews the stats.

Id expect Page to be taking quite a few - hes always looked decent at them.

Get behind the kids then. I tried to get tickets to this for me and my boy and would have been delighted to see Monga and Page start.

With Winks unsettled, and Riccy coming back from injury, who else do you play?

Page gets a start - something to be excited about? I also presume Alves will be getting game time today and we will see Riccy at some point. This is what i wanted, but it has to come at a cost of having some of the senior players there too even if they are ones we would rather see elsewhere. I had assumed Soumare had exhausted all his credit, but there really isn't anyone else. I suppose Marti is gambling that he and Skipp will just miraculously click, and if they dont he has leverage with Rudkin. With no BEK, be really interesting to see how Page does.

Have we even signed 5 in the last 2 years?

I thought this was what everyone wanted? Yell at the club for not rewarding the youth, yet take the pi55 when we play them. Looking forward to Page making a mistake and everyone piling in on the match thread.

Surely Alves takes his chance whilst Bobby is still out. Abdul still can’t play 90 mins.

Says who?

At St Pancras and loads of miserable hammers about. Overheard one saying ‘why the &£ck did we buy a keeper that got relegated.’ I don’t think the fans will give him many more chances.

Do you feel Kasey had a big future here? We have a lot of very good youngsters coming through. I feel torn on this. Met him at a signing and he was super friendly. Felt he had some good games under Enzo before his injury. I think he scored a belter against Ipswich last season. But, I just don’t feel we were going to get more out of him than we have already seen. Be interesting to see if Ipswich have a trick up their sleeve with him or they are panic buying. It’s quite a bit of cash. Kind of felt his energy would have suited what Marti wanted. But we can’t turn that sort of money down for someone low down the pecking order. Harsh.

Feels like making me head of technology at a company, and then deciding we don’t need any systems. I presume he’s looking at players he’d love to sign but knows nothing is going to happen. I bet his weekly catchup with Rudkin is great fun.

What did they pay for him?

I always felt Mads and Bilal were going. I just had a small hope after the Sheffield game that there was a chance he might stay.

After too much rose and a few Duvels last night I am now at peace with this transfer as long as we keep Fatawu. I loved watching Bilal play but his output always concerned me. Not bagging against Sheffield Weds summed him up, and it’s a part of his game he will have to improve on quickly when this move happens. We do have to bring someone in.

He got a happy birthday tweet, so not all bad.

I’m not so sure anymore.

It was always his dream to play for <insert club here>

What money
