So much industry and he does have a bit of quality. Surely he should be playing regularly in that #8 role at the moment??

One of those has been coming for Abdul hasn’t it! Class.

Enjoyable game really, pretty even overall.

Nobody likes to slate young players. Why not just call it as you see it regardless of age - He was absolutely miles off it. Bit concerning if that’s the best we have in the academy at the moment.

Is that Raikhy a competition winner?

Very hard not to be reactionary after watching that. Straight to bed I think!

That is the best 45 Vestergaard has ever played for us. Probably Fatawu’s worst. KDH and Mavididi linking well. Game is on a knife edge. I’m nervous!

Probably QPR's most sellable asset. Must be a big blow for them.

Very hard to call the game tonight. I thought they were marginally better at our place, but it was very annoying that a scruffy goal decided it. Desperate for a performance!

He wouldn't be playing for us if he was perfect, but I love watching him play. I think he's capable of doing well at the level above as well. Just a really good signing.

He's a pretty experienced International player. It should be no surprise that he's good at Championship level (when fit of course). He has 14 games left to finally contribute before we bid our farewell's!

Yep. I noticed last night that his positioning is really good. Was always coming inside at the right times to block passing lanes when we weren't in possession. He's still not match fit either. With a run of games he should be really useful at this level, and our best alternative to Wilf in that position.

Scapegoat? We’re top of the league and cruising, why would we need a scapegoat? People are just pointing out that he’s not particularly good.

Cov at home and Sheff Wed away are the only games that spring to mind immediately to be honest. Very fortunate to only concede one in both of those.

I think he’s pretty limited as a footballer, sadly. Having said that though, I quite like him in the team. His energy is a massive plus and he’s pretty quick. Makes him quite effective at nicking the ball to stop attacks/launch counters.

Yeah, very impressed with what I’ve seen so far. Looks a real talent.

Stoke did exactly the same at our place?? They are the worst by quite a long way. (…I may still be bitter about the ‘08 game, but I’m willing to die on this hill!)

Yep. But both were better in the first fixture. Stoke the worst across the two…so far.

Stoke are the worst team in the league by a distance. (Based on what I’ve seen against us)

He joined a club in the Championship and yet was still given a Summer transfer kitty of nearly £50m? Pretty outrageous as far as Championship transfer budgets go? Yet now 'we've lost him' because of one bad transfer window? Re. this Summer - I'm sure you're right and we'll struggle to shift certain players, but a lot will be leaving due to contracts expiring and we may even look to cash in on KDH. We'll have to wait and see but there should be money available for Enzo to do a bit of shaping and moulding...just as he was able to last Summer.

We managed to get quite a few players in last Summer? I’m sure it’ll be fine. This has been a bit of a weird one though, I’ll give you that!

Not overly bothered either way now, but I am intrigued what the issue is. He wouldn’t have flown over unless it was pretty certain to go through, would he!?

He's looked pretty decent every time I've seen him. Shame he hasn't been given more of a chance really.

Absolutely. I already love watching him play. So even if he doesn't reach the highest heights, it's going to be great fun having him in the team. ...and that's all I said btw...that I wasn't sure he was going to reach the very top Not that he isn't going to be a good player for us. I shouldn't have used the word 'disappointment' to be fair...it's not really what I meant!

Big 'if' though isn't it? That's all I was saying really.
