It took me one game to work out how shit Tonev was, despite the "there is a good player in there" comments.
I have seen less of Bjarnson.

I haven't seen him much but in the pre season games he has jogged around and had the ball bounce off him a few times. Shrug. Hopefully that will change for the better.

I'm sure people are lining up to get a dose of your football expertise.

Yep, I'm surprised he's not been snapped up by clubs needing scouts already.... Or SkySports for that matter.....

Yes, it takes genius to recognise  talent as mediocrity will always find its own level.

Really happy for Thor getting his first. He's not the most technically gifted but he puts in a shift and gets into really good positions in the box. Last night he came close before finally breaking his duck. Good for him.

He's another player who I think will be ok. He's much better further up the field rather than in a defending role.

Yes, let's hope he builds on it because it's a long old season and he can cover a few positions.

Why does he take so many touches of the ball? Quite a few times last night he could have crossed or passed earlier, just tends to run with it

I was pleased for him to score his first goal last night against Wigan lets hope he will only get better.

Was good yesterday. Could have had a hat-trick, but still scored, set one up, and worked his arse off throughout. Much better.

I thought he was pretty bad first half, some poor decisions, touches and passes.

That said, I'm not going to knock a player who works hard, gets into good positions and ended the match with a goal and an assist.  He'll be useful to have about.
