midds Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 As poor a debut as I can remember. especially first half. Really hoping it was nerves and/or a bit rustiness but he'll need to improve a lot pretty quickly. Bottling 50/50's, losing possession in dangerous areas and smashing crosses out of play will need to be sorted asap. Sure he'll get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 First half was much worse than second. Settled down a bit after break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Had only played 17 minutes before today, mind. Oh absolutely. Wasn't a good debut but all the time in the world to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hope it was just nerves by the sounds of it. Fingers crossed but we'll need someone to fill in at times at LB. Dummett has picked up a few injuries each season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Kevin Mbabu looks a better prospect but its early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Mbabu is also not a left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boumsong's vs yeading comes to mind straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The state of some of the comments about him on twitter make me realise why other clubs fans laugh at us at times. What other clubs? Most fans aren't really students of the game, and when you start including twitter then a lot of them won't even know much about football to start with.

What other clubs? Most fans aren't really students of the game, and when you start including twitter then a lot of them won't even know much about football to start with. Fans of many clubs in the PL have had a pop at us over the years and those of Championship clubs have whenever possible this summer. I agree on the average Twitter fan not being the best to take notice of but to see some fans giving him such abuse after 1 game is obsurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well get used to it and learn to play through it like plenty others did. Early days, we kept a clean sheet so a good game for him to get acclimatised to the game over here is the way I look at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 There are so many players that have started off badly at new clubs and then suddenly they click - even some of the top names have needed a season - yet so many fans seem to judge a player based on one performance.

Conjo Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't understand how he is going to gain any sharpness, get used to the league/tempo and gel with the team if he is not given game time. He absolutely should start the next 5-6 games or so, regardless of how he performs. We should be able to carry some players in this team and get results at the same time. If not, we shouldn't have signed him in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Mark Douglas was the only person at the match ho thought he had a good game. That's probably where the 8/10 came from. Everyone else that was there said he didn't have the best of debut's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal this season is promotion not to experiment beyond what is necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
