Another solid performance - why wasn't he playing sooner?

Supposedly according to Dyche he wasn’t ready!

 

[Exeter_Gently]

A lot Blues writing him off when he wasn't getting a sniff.

What got me was his turn of speed, also what's helping him is the workrate and speed to get back of Lindstrom. Another good game today, but should have scored.

…yep, no doubting Lindstrom’s industry but I’d sure like him to be more of a threat.

Yeah think he's getting there, but needs to take his fullback on more, probably suited to more in the middle Eggs. Though I thought for the first time in ages Doucoure played really well, that goal done him the World of good, think Lindstrom needs one too.

 

[Eggs]

Played as well as he had to.

He looks the real deal. Another 12 months and he'll be where Branthwaite is.

….reports indicate he’s not the best aerially despite his size but a couple of fine headers today suggest he’ll be fine eventually partnering Branthwaite. Won’t do him any harm playing where he is.

We improve after bringing our 20 mil signing into the team? Who would have guessed

Reports by whom? Mr Magoo?

 

[ToffeeTim]

No idea why he was frozen out under Dyche. He's clearly a decent player, and potential to be very good.

Not Sean Dyche …

£16.4 mil , bargain.

That's chump change this day & age.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

He's the Irish Michael Keane. Palace sold him for a reason.

Ouch

 

[nick_waters]

Of course not. We have a back four sorted out now, why would we let a no mark like him in to ruin it?

Three out of four, I'd agree, but under no circumstances should Mykolenko be considered part of a 'sorted' defence, you've got to hope that we can bring in a left back this window to replace him.

 

[Eggs]

Reports by whom? Mr Magoo?

….ha, ha, a few instances in France when he got a bit caught out and failed to clear his lines. I just think he needs experience at this level and it’ll do him no harm training and playing with the likes of Tarkowski in his ear.

 

[Bluerover]

Imagine not playing this lad.

Because we had a wonderful manager

 

[Joey66]

Outstanding in recent games & Dyche would not play him says it all really ....
