Emil Krafth (Injured with Broken Collarbone)

[Pilko]

Couple of dicey passes but absolutely solid and low-key dependable again from a defensive point of view. Think he'll go down as one of our best value signings of recent years when he's all said and done here.

Pie face knows talent 

[RodneyCisse]

Going to be harsh dropping him for Schar.

 

Done nothing wrong.

[CPL]

Developing into an Aaron Hughes type of player filling in at CB and RB. Nothing special on the ball but works hard and doesn't let the team down. 

[gbandit]

I’ll never love him due to his lack of top footballing ability but he’s been a really important player for us and has always given as much as he can and never complained 

[Toon No9]

Injured apparently. Withdrawn from the Sweden national team after the game today.

Just saving himself for Geordie duty.

But it absolutely needs to happen

[Doctor Zaius]

Turns out he's been a centre half all along.

[SteV]

Bizarre that CB is probably the current ’weakest’ area of the squad. Yet you could argue that Kraft and Burn have been our two best performers so far.

Not done anything wrong, but hes part of our possession trouble.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Thought he was solid enough, though I was raging when he made that header at the end (however it's possible Pope didn't shout for it so it's probably not fully his fault)

I don’t doubt that, the link up Schar provides the midfield and that we’d start all attacks 20 yards further forward.

[Kid Icarus]

You really can't fault him like. He doesn't have the attributes to get us playing how we want to, but within each game he really rarely puts a foot wrong and comes in and does it with absolutely no fuss or attention. I get the feeling that he's a very intelligent player and knows what his limitations are so doesn't put himself in positions where he might be exposed, it's just a shame that because of that we have to all sit deeper.

International break 'injury'...

[Displayname]

[jack j]

Withdrew from the Sweden squad with a "minor" injury

Be out til Christmas nee doubt

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Oh, classic avoiding international duty then.

Aaron Hughes comparison is actually really good - I like him, solid when relied upon and seems to be close to Isak too

He’s been solid but both him and Burn are press triggers for the opposition, Schar absolutely has to come back in. 

[Newcastle Fan]

He's done really well in covering for Schar, have to say when i saw the Bournemouth and how he struggled at times coping with their physicality i was worried but he more than held his own in the last two games.

I'm a big Krafth booster, but this isn't doing justice to Aaron Hughes, to be honest.

[NUFC91]

Thought he was brilliant yesterday, his 1-2-1 is very good.
