2025/26 Tim Iroegbunam

[Billy Dean]

I feel a bit sorry for him in a way. He had the Championship loan with QPR in 22-23 and since then has been used as a bit-part player by Villa for a season and then a squad player last season with us. If he went out on loan again straight after the QPR one, where he did well, I think we would be seeing a much better and more refined player. Ultimately he really needed another Championship loan but we would have needed another midfielder to compensate for that.

I agree. I think the kid has talent, just needs a club where he can be settled and get regular first team minutes

Must be good in training

Should be out on loan as he's nowhere Premier League standard at it stands. If Armstrong isn't deemed good enough, no idea at all why Tim somehow is.

He was one of our best players against Brighton.

Christ this is gonna be his new “Bournemouth at the start of last season” isn’t it?

Thought he had a great first half against villa but worried if could cope with the rats at the weekend tho but probably deserves to keep his place think he has improved imo

Just can’t play a deeper role

Doesn't ever look like he knows where exactly he's supposed to be.

This is the biggest problem. He’s sound when he’s just allowed to press and the games frantic. The second he has to stay in shape/be disciplined he looks like a teenager in his first 11 a side game.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Has looked out of his element lately.

I'm not sure bulking up a bit has helped his game. Seemed to have a real engine when he first joined. I dunno, he definitely not showing that same potential lately

Yes something doesn’t seem right.

Thought he looked promising as a number 8 last season. Seems best when there’s open play in the middle of the pitch and he can drive forward with the ball. Looked like he had pretty good feet.

Doesn’t look comfortable in a deeper role.
