STM Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 He's second only to Rafa for his contribution to the club over the past 18 months. I'd even goes as far to say that if we keep him fit for the rest of the season, we will stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 After last season I wasn't convinced by him, thought he'd be full of mistakes this seasons. Proven me wrong and it showed when he was missing this season. I still think hes pretty limited player but hes probably our most important, abit like Shawcross at Stoke a few years back.

xLiaaamx Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Honestly amazing how this lad is going under the Inglish radar. Can't understand how he's not being touted for a big money move by the press such is the pace of his improvement. I don't want him to be of course, I just don't get it, he's f***ing class and getting better. In the everton game in the tunnel the commentator made a throwaway comment saying "You have to wonder where he'll be playing his football next season."

Yeah I certainly don't want other clubs sniffing about him but you like to see players get recognition when they deserve it. Think how far he's come under Rafa in such a short space of time, it really is great and hopefully he'll keep improving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 He was an absolute colossus at the back. I think I saw him lose his first header on about 70 minutes! Atsu probably got MOTM. But I think Lascelles was. They did play to his strengths, I guess. But he barely put a foot wrong all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Clip on Twitter of him sticking in 3 blocks in about as many seconds at the death. God. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Easily the most likeable player we'd had at the club since Nobby. I loved shearer, but he wasn't exactly mr personable. Ironically he's lovable now as a pundit and personality. He's come on in leaps and bounds and is becoming defensively a bit of a colossus for us. Fucking love him and its noticeable since he came back we are a different team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Just watched the highlights again and that worry about him seemingly limping is nothing i think. He started looking uncomfortable after blocking a Carroll shot with his joy department, as you would Watching it again he makes said block, a clearance and two great headers in a short space of time, proper good player this lad is now.

huss9 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 love the way that, more often than not, he is in immediate conference with rafa on the touchline after we score rather than celebrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I get the feeling he could be Rafa’s fave player he’s ever coached. His rise has been kind of meteoric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Our defensive record since he came back is great. Missed him massively. Glad rafa kept faith in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The upswing in defensive solidness from his injury and his return (and even prior) is so big it’s scary. Get Jamaal lad a a 7 day holiday. He’s as crucial to our survival as the takeover/Rafa imo. A 2 month injury and I reckon we are down. Keep him fit and in good form - we keep enough clean sheets and low conceding games to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Best centre half we've had in a good while, absolutely brilliant against Carroll when we beat West Ham then again up against Crouch today. Top notch captain as well, really keeps everyone on their toes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Soiled myself when he went down and Darlow chucked the ball out for him to get treatment. He's holding us together. Think he got a elbow somewhere from one of Crouch's 15 limbs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 A rock at the back and still on the upwards learning to make himself better. An extremely likeable lad too which is even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I remember when we signed him Forest fans said Darlow was the prospect and Lascelles would never amount to anything. Football is a funny game . Just hope we can hold out for a takeover before big clubs come circling for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
