    Weights his passes through the line beautifully. Almost like that other quality passer of the ball at centre back. Forgotten his name, oh yeah 09.

    He needs to mix his game up a bit more, did it a couple times by going down the line but I want him to do that quicker as he's rapid

    Kinda would have liked to have seen what Romaine could have done in this XI ( :emoticon-0106-cryin ). Adingra is great but these players will elevate the whole squad hopefully.

    Finally got to watch Noah sadiki, good to see hes adapted quickly to the new teammates.

    I'm still skeptical if Adingra is enough on that left side but I'll obviously keep supporting the lad.

    Missed a Mayenda chance and 2 other solid shots on goal against a quality side.

    If I’m right this is Abdullahi’s last chance to impress as RLB is going to make decisions after this

    I can already tell Adingra is going to frustrate at times but with consistent football he could blossom with confidence into a devastating player in the second half of the season.

    I still think we will sign another winger it’s clear we want to but Adingra has been very bright for me. Always seems to create something and get a good cross in or flash across the box

    I was just saying that. Enzo, Sadiki and Diarra in the middle are outstanding

    I wasn't going to stay up to watch it, but meh, we've been the better attacking side but some of the final decisions have been poor.

    I'm optimistic for next season, we're playing really well against an established side who are league champions.

    So, in this system, is there any hope for Ballard or is his 'lack of pace' terminal in your opinion?

    Yeah he's always been frustrating, lack of time means he's not really developed for 2 years and has kept making the same mistakes.

    Like I said I preferred Lauriente as a player but as a person it seems he wasn't the right character.

    Well yeah that's the whole thing with him, always looks bright but doesn't come off enough - I'm sure we can iron that out.
