    Different player this season compared to last. Got his fitness back, probably enjoying it under RLB too

    That 360 from Cirkin was tremendous!

    Jewi against Southampton mentioned by a few on twitter. Big difference for me is Cirkin looks in complete control of it, Jewi to me always looks like it could run away from him at any second imo!

    To be fair, Jewi did 3 x 360s then crossed it right onto Riggy's head to score.
    - and then was never seen again <doh>

    I felt at the time he was doing 360s in the hope of going past people that from Cirkin was he knew he was going past his man with it.

    I might be wrong and it might just be the look Jewi gives off. I mean I will say it's unfair comparing him to Cirkin who is ****ing immense. Football is piss easy to that lad!

    Love watching his analysis after the games, one of the first ones I look for.
    Brilliant.

    At one point he asks for, and receives the ball, when the four closest players are all Boro.

    That's the mark of a truly class player imo.

    He reminds me of Platini who'd actually want to take a pass when he was marked so he'd turn and immediately take his markers out of the game. It was amazing to see some Boro players visibly not make an effort to try to take the ball off him. It was as if they knew it was futile.

    As a recent L1 club it's wonderful that we're seeing such incredible skills from our players.

    What a player he is. If we were to go up this year and he and Rigg were to keep developing as they currently are, I swear that the pair would be worth 100m between them.

    The club are really building here.

    Watching this again I hadn't realised how far Rigg had ran to arrive late in the box for his goal, no one in a blue shirt saw him coming...class.

    Also he was unlucky with his very nifty dribble that he didnt just go straight around the keeper to put it in
