Eaglecoops CR3 19 Jan 23 10.13am
Originally posted by sydtheeagle I think we all agree his opportunity is long overdue. He strikes me as a pound-shop Gallagher. Doesn't have Conor's threat in the attacking third, but otherwise similar energy, mobility, vision, and timing elsewhere around the pitch. I hope that performance hasn’t come at the wrong time and offered encouragement to the club not to invest in our midfield.

Big performance from him today, and CD. In Casimero, Bruno and Erikson Utd have a pretty awesome midfield. Let himself down a handful of times, by giving the ball away after great work to win it back. Gives the midfield more balance and bite, should 100% be a nailed on starter moving forwards

Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 19 Jan 23 11.36am
I was surprised when we first bought him. Didn't think much of him, mainly because of the club he came from. But, have been fairly impressed on the few occasions he's been given a game and last night cemented my view that he's our best option. As someone else wrote on here, he's a bit like Conor without a cherry on top. Please give him more games PV. He will only improve and gain more confidence. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

After watching Will Hughes last night I ended up very annoyed at the fact that he has not been given any sort of a chance by PV. I wouldn’t mind if he was kept out of the team by Zidane but he has been kept out of the team because PV was determined to turn Schlupp into a football player. It boils my blood that we have had to endure Schlupp week after week while better players sit there on the bench.
