    I'm exaggerating tbf but I really was shocked at how poor the stadium and surroundings are.

    It's Championship level, at best, and needs a massive amount of work.

    I think they dodged a massive bullet when they came up, otherwise they'd be in a real mess.

    It's all crazy isn't it, he's an absolute steal ...

    ... I laughed when he fired in a long ball to Roefs knowing he'd have no problem controlling it.

    Robin Roefs' performances so far... as a 22 year old... with 1 year of Eredivisie experience under his belt?

    Absolutely remarkable.

    83% save percentage (3rd in the Premier League)
    2.2 XG prevented (9th out of 126 keepers to feature in Europe's Top 5 Leagues)
    11 crosses claimed (joint 5th in Europe)
    Some excellent distribution too

    It's only been 6 games... but I'm trying to remember the last time a goalkeeper with Roefs' experience looked as instantly comfortable in the Premier League?

    Ederson maybe?!

    Really impressed with everything and is an obvious upgrade on Patterson but two areas he is a huge upgrade on Patterson is distribution and crosses. **** me he would knock over his own Nana to get to a cross!

    Streets ahead of Patterson. I was delighted to see us target a new GK, it was absolutely vital.

    Fair play to this kid, this is ten times better than most fan efforts, except a couple of minor personnel errors ...

    ... he'll have a career in media for sure.
