You preach patience but we are dealing with top athletes of their sport. Why can't they hit the ground running just as the newcomers to Leicester Basketball have done?

Mainly because they are Americans coming from a college background to a poor quality league played at a lower tempo. Riders are in the top two teams of the country for years. 

 

Silva coming from a slow tempo poorer quality league and has team mates such as Danny Simpson

Looked world class last night, his touches were silky as fck. To add to that he was everywhere. He looks like a luxury player with the headless chicken workrate, which isn’t something we are used to down here.

 

the second half he was flagging, no doubt - but I think the fact that he hasn’t played much in the last year can explain that, plus the knock could have been a factor.

 

the midfield pairing last night where fantastic. Silva was my man of the match, with hamza a close second.

My favourite thing about Silva is his willingness to want the ball. He actively calls for it, moves to become available even when under pressure and spreads the play nicely. Fantastic performance last night, great to see. We've got a fine player on our hands here.

Superb last night. His quality will come through. Said it all along but he's been playing with better players than what we have here.

 

I think he'd make a good captain for us.

most important factor is he looks like he cares, might be captain next year (Not sure if his English is any good)

Yeah, he’s never looked like he’s not arsed, which is great to see given the crap he’s gone through. Glad we’ve got him, look forward to him being a mainstay in the team next year.

Because it's a s**t standard of Basketball...the premier league in comparison...well there is no comparison apart from the Tigers.

Maybe Neves should have thought about that before moving to play in the Championship in a World Cup season
