Snodgrass is a funny one. In his first few matches, well most of them actually, I thought he came across like he thought playing in this league was beneath him. And I don't like players dictating where they play, either, and we seem to be pandering to his desire to play on the right whereas I think if we swapped him and Albert over a few times a match, they might be even more dangerous.

However, he did impress me on Tuesday, and he had a great game on Saturday by all accounts. He has a bit of quality and a desire to beat people that sets him apart from most on this league. At times, he's still a bit 'Downing' in the tackle in my opinion, but he seems to be working harder. Great to hear he stays behind after training. Hope it continues; he's the type of player that gives us the edge over a lot of teams in this league. Him, Adomah, Jack and Onomah (in flashes) can all do things most players at this level can't. They can win us matches when we don't play well.

Mixing it up with AA and RS on their alternative wings during a match will lead to questions being asked of their respective defenders.
Uncertainty could prove to be a useful stratagem within the game.

Snoddy's getting increasingly effective as he improves his fitness levels and playing time. I kike him.

Had a slow start but he's becoming more influential by the game.

Would he be able to still do it in the premier league? Debatable but he was very good this time last year for Hull. West Ham was just a bad move.

Sullivan has been slagging Snodgrass off saying that his kids "begged him not so sign" him. I cant see him being back at West Ham next season.

But can we afford to sign him?
West Ham spent what, £10m on him I think.
Would he suit the Premier if we go up?

We wouldn't pay that.  He's clearly not wanted there, so falls into the category of player whose parent club is grateful when a club wants to take him off their hands.

What sort of recall clause is in this deal?

Bilic might not have wanted him, but Moyes might believe he can get a tune out of him.

One of them players who plays  better away from home.  He is good carrying the ball on breaks, not as physical and robust as I thought he would be.  I still think ball at  feet Elmo is our best option wide right.

continually 5 yards off the full back when we attack because he has no pace, ball crying to be put down the channel into space but we don't because he has no pace. you all getting the pattern here
while callum sits on the bench

I thought Elmo looked lively when he came on yesterday. As hard as Hutton works, he hasn't got the ability to put in a decent cross into the box.

Nor did Elmo yesterday.  I saw at least three very poor crosses that were either straight at a Millwall player or massively over or under hit.

It was very poor all round. Way too many mistakes from all of the outfield players. Thank goodness for Sam Johnstone. Part of it was just that we played poorly but I will concede part of it is that we have zero threat up front. Davis is shot and he provides no strength or energy to hold up play and take the pressure off the midfield and defence like he was a few weeks back.

Jury still out for me, the odd ok performance.
I thought he would be a bigger influence at this level.
