    Agree with Rigg...for now. Jobe however is one of the best midfielders I've seen in a long time at this level.

    Still incredible we have them both like :emoticon-0100-smile

    Mayenda arguably the best dribbler in the league.

    Mundle could be better but not bad.

    Roberts all dribble no production, lol.

    Mayenda is arguably what Morgan Rogers is for Villa. I think that “second striker that can dribble quickly” role is going to become big in next few years and Mayenda could be one of the best at it.

    Mad, this. Looks like they had a lot of good results at home, we were the only team in the top 10 who failed to beat them at home, though <doh>

    Especially the away game after winning our first 4. Who knows what the run would’ve been like if we’d won down there as well, as expected

    Two takeaways from this;
    Mundle is so important to how we play.
    Get Mayenda the ball more.

    I mean both posts are essentially just highlighting why Mayenda shouldnt really be compared to wingers as hes playing up front - wish they were comparing him to other strikers as would be interested to see how that looks.

    But yes more of either striker on the ball will help us.

    That role your saying is the creative midfielder we’re missing

    Mayenda has a surprisingly strong final ball.

    Rigg should be carrying the ball and slotting Isidor in like Mayenda does

    Love this. We've been pretty consistent
    - position wise

    I see we finished 24 points behind Leeds and ‘boring Burnley’

    Obviously a bad day for us but I’m over the moon Luton gone down. Hate them. Also pleased Boro missed out on playoffs

    They’ve been superb all season imo, just wrote off constantly on here. That was my ‘boring’ dig. I tell you what is boring - RLB’s style.

    We turned up home and away against the top 3, beating two of them at home, we turn up in the big games.

    We are capable and arguably playing the better teams who want to come onto us is a more natural fit for our system.

    However, our form is concerning and there's no avoiding it. Our season ended at elland road and we all knew it, we lost that game but we were great on reflection.

    We can only ask if not expect similar application on Friday and Tuesday.

    Losing over 2 legs giving everything is one thing, but going out flat as a fart is inexcusable,.

    His style was acceptable when turnovers were executed at pace, now we've appeared to have reverted to a possession retention side or a side suddenly hesitant to progress forward, we have a problem.
