Anyone a tad underwhelmed so far?
This is my own fault as much as anything for overhyping a player in my head before he's joined.
Not a moan, just a question. You can see he's a tidy ball player and he does find space well, but I must admit I was under the impression he was going to be the creative spark we were missing. Doesn't appear to be the case so far, I'd like to see him at the edge of the box more with the confidence to have a pop.
Still time obviously, but I'd love to have Huws and Bishop competing for that spot soon. |  |

Agree, I don't know what some people are expecting, a 26 year old who has never played above l1 level, he isn't suddenly going to rip up the championship...just a squad player, expensive one at that. |  | | |

Agree, still time for him to make his mark.
Like you, probably the one I was expecting the most from, so had more to prove. |  | | |

agree about shooting, he has had a few pops but rarely hits the target
Again, it may be a confidence thing |  | | |

I was never a fan of his sisters. |  |

He’s really disappointed me. Was afraid to say it as assumed I was the only one.
It’s edwards, Donacien and Nsiala that have really impressed me. The others...meh, although that’s probably unfair as the strikers haven’t had the service. |  |

Similar, albeit I would add Edun to your list of those that have impressed.
Jury still out on Nolan, Harrison, Jackson, Chalobah and Roberts. | | | |

I thought Nolan was excellent yesterday and is steadily improving/finding his feet with every game. |  |

For me the jury is still out on Edwards. He’s had 2-3 runs in the first 5 games - that’s no where near enough. The last two games in particular he’s done absolutely nothing. |  |

Watch. There will be a sea change when he gets his full confidence. At present he plays like he can't quite believe he is in the championship, but he will blossom and become a force. I see an Alan Ball 'edge' to him. |  | | |

He’s making a step up, give him more than 3 games please. |  |

This.
It’s a concern as teams already know that snuffing him out of the game results in next to no threat on their goal.
I fully expect the Budgies to knock the sh!t out of him in the first twenty minutes of Sunday’s match. |  |

No he's had four games. | |

Almost as if teams have worked out he's our main outlet and have stopped him doing anything....!
A lot of work to do. |  | | |

I think Chalobah is a diamond in the rough - probably why Chelsea let us have him for a year. He generally has good positional sense and vision. He also seems to be vocal which I'd expect from an England captain. He's certainly not a finished product and he's prone to rash errant balls but I think he will settle in nicely. |  | | |

Two games I’ve seen him play in I have not been impressed. Picks up the ball well but then plays side wards and seems reluctant to have a shot. I’m sure Nsiala said he was as good as Ross Barkley a few weeks ago. Bold. |  | | |

He's looked alright to me in patches and obviously has to get used to the level but he has seemed a little light weight and may disappear in the more physical games
We will see, he is getting used to the level
We may see more from him if we can get some decent movement in and around from him |  |

Has he got a shot on him? Playing that 10 role he really needs to have... |  | | |

He’s played a couple of games with injuries hasn’t he? Not ideal. |  |

Looks very comfortable on the ball, plays with his head up and doesn’t concede possession that often from what I’ve seen. Looks a very promising signing to me. I’d expect him to drop deeper if Hughes can get himself fit enough for the first team. |  | | |

Same here. Strange, isn't it? I've been quite impressed by him. Admittedly he hasn't set the world on fire, but considering he has just come into the Championship, I've thought he's looked at home, quite comfortable on the ball, with a few really good passes in him. As I say, still some way to go, but I think he's got the makings of a top player. ITFC legend in waiting! | | | |
