    I would say those two are both 40m players if they have full seasons at the level they are going.

    Obviously they did a good job under Mowbray but found it very difficult when they were put in the frontline when Beale went , they have kept their roles under Reg who must rate them so therefore we have to assume they have found their level and good luck to them .

    I get the sarcasm but I think it was a case of getting him on the pitch and it would have been hard on Mayenda to sub him.
    He also actually played right across the front line in the few minutes he played.

    As someone else mentioned, he’s bigger than I was expecting, and fast!

    Can't say I see them as particularly informed journalists but I enjoy them as content creators all the same. Taken a big step forwards.

    You're right, talented in the sense they have dragged the Echo into the 21st century.

    Don't see the need to have a go at Mowbray who did a great job for us, yes RLB is doing great and we all love him, that doesn't need to be compared to Mowbray in any way.

    Obviously no goal today but ****ing made up for Mayenda. Such a fan of his. He looks fast, he can dribble, he times his runs and gets into good spots and, maybe this is the stupidest thing I have ever said, but even the way he doesn't score has me excited. He tests the keeper, he looks calm and he strikes the ball cleanly just maybe lacks that clinical edge to find the side netting.

    I'm really excited about him developing with proper game time. Still his shirt for me.

    On the plus side, Luke is the only player this season to put one past Patterson.
    No opposition players have been able to do that yet.

    What is Riggs contract situation.Are we limited to what scenario can offer him until he’s 18, because I don’t think I’ve seen a better player at his age in my 50 years watching us.

    Jobe is now doing things that just wasn’t possible from him last season

    Genuinely like a different player.

    My understanding is that he got a very good contract, on par with but on the lower end of the first team spectrum (£4-7k pw), even the lower end is more than double the best 18-21 players that come through our academy tend to get.

    We must enjoy Rigg now because he can’t be here long. The potential is scary.
