Like most of our team: slightly out of his depth in the first half and very good in the second. I'm wondering whether GH sees central defence of defensive midfield as his future position.

Would have been my MOTM to even without the goals.
Felt sorry for the lad, score two in front of the Holte today but didn't get to celebrate them.

In the second half but his future has to be as a centre half, his committment was superb but I dont think his distribution and positional sense is up to playing in midfield full-time but thats just my opinion

Yeah, I thought he could be MOTM.

Who was, by the way?  I don't remember hearing an announcement.

Will be a great Central Defender... This spell in CM will only be beneficial and help him develop into a cultured defender.

Could be really great.

All at sea in the first half and his tracking of players was very poor, better second half and two good goals. Way too early to tell how he might turn out or what his best position is...

who started this by calling him the new/next david platt?

 Absolutely nothing like him in any way shape or form! i cannot even to begin to think where you may find any similarity other than he has scored 2 goals!
Behave!!!

I think he has a really good future, as a midfielder or defender. It's just a matter of which he/we chose to develop and mature him in.

Thread inspired from a conversation I had with our esteemed Editor this afternoon after the match. By the way, I agree with him.
