    He’s got good linkup but he’s not the creative spark. He’s a proper number 8 for me not a 10

    I get he's young and needs time but is it not worth putting Aleksic on? We're going to lose this game anyway so how much worse would he make it?

    he’s basically serving an apprenticeship and learning on the job

    played religiously for the shop window aspect, development and because he fit this organised, shaped thing Regis is going for

    he has all the tools to have a fabulous career but the fact him and Bellingham in this midfield can’t make way earlier in games is getting on my nerves

    it’s a team game and different teams offer different challenges and changes are required

    But we don't play with a 10. That's the issue. The gap between the CM and Wilson is too high. No 10 would fit as we are canny flat as a CM. But Rigg has the most licence to be creative 100.

    I agree. Rigg is going to be a start but not sure he has had even a 7 out of 10 performance for 10 games or so.

    The best Connolly has looked has been as the ten, scored then limited minutes since, bizzare

    He has the most license but don’t think he can do it quick enough he takes too many chances and clearly prefers small intricate play not the killer ball

    He didn’t actually play well against milwall, masked by a worldie goal

    Seriously, any chance of a sub? 25 minutes to go. Having all of the ball but creating absolutely nothing.

    Joking ain't you. Reggie is allergic to subs prior to 70 mins

    If Roberts could not just blast the ball at the defender in front of him every time he gets in a crossing situation that would be nice.

    he needs to capitalise on the little
    Momentum we’ve built for me

    they’re naturally Going to recede so be positive Regis

    The final ball from Roberts and Mundle has been awful.
