Emi Buendia

I too thought he wasn't good enough.

Same. I’m warming up the humble pie, but not quite ready to eat it yet as I still think he is a squad player and not in the starting 11 when everyone is available.

Yep, if he'd played like this more often for us I'd be a lot less critical of him, better attitude and composure but without losing his value as a pest and his ability to pull moments of quality from very little. I hope he can keep this going now, he's currently a fantastic option to give us a different dimension in the last 20-30minutes.

Great goal by Emi I'm so pleased for him the way he's playing.

[Brend'Watkins]

Really pleased for him. Even in games where he doesn’t quite do it he still gives his all. When he’s on it he’s a great player and a joy to have in the team. I think we’re going to have to brace ourselves for the big money bids coming in from Small Heath in the next window.

Time for some humble pie. I said at the start of the season I just didn’t think he was good enough and after a couple of less than stellar performances, in fairness along with the rest of them, it looked like my opinion was vindicated. However since then he’s been superb either starting or from the bench. Keep it up Emi I look forward to further goals, assists and terrier like yapping at opposition defences.

Save a slice for me. His first couple of appearances this season he looked keen but not quite up to it but he’s found his feet and now looks an integral part of the squad.

I'd like a bit of custard with mine please.  I am now at the point where I would welcome his name on the team sheet, against any other opposition.

Have noticed a vast improvement in his play such as not running around like a headless chicken trying to impress us, similar to Mcginn improvement, well done long may it continue as I thought he would be moved on

[DrGonzo]

He's working very hard tracking back.  There was a moment with Spurs on the break in about 90 minutes where he realises he's got the most energy on the pitch, tracked about 60 yards back piling pressure on.  Game Emi B.

It's an interesting position he finds himself in. Potentially "not good enough" to start but good enough to change a game when he does come on.

Two goals now that were precise finishes using players to screen the shot. He's done well. Let's hope it continues.
