Celina is our best player on paper, and it shows through perfomances last night, if we play Celina good things will happen. |  | | |  |

He was excellent last night but Chaplin has also been really good in that role lately. I'd be tempted to play Celina on the left and Chaplin as a 10. We've got ridiculous options in those roles behind Bonne so I expect we'll see a fair bit of rotation depending on form, fitness, and who we're playing. Celina's ability to find space and make things happen on the ball was crucial last night though. |  |

This is a bit of Deja vu - as people said the same when Mick was here.
It's an impossible situation really as Chaplin is undroppable, and Edwards and Celina link up really nicely |  |

Not sure you can say he's undroppable when he was dropped, didn't come off the bench and we scored 4. It shows the quality we have though that someone will always miss out like Chaplin, Celina, Edwards. Wonder if Fraser comes back into the equation? |  |

I didn't even clock that he was on the bench, I assumed he was unavailable. | |

I have never, ever seen a player with such quick feet. Those stepovers in the second half were unreal. First Division football? You're having a laugh... |  |

Nope, it's a squad game and utilising the players we have in the squad will improve our chances. He was very good last night though, a level above nearly everyone else on the pitch at times in the first half. |  |

Agreed.
Considering he signed for Dijon for reportedly close to £3m a year ago on £20k pw wages, it was quite some coup to get him on loan after a season in Ligue 1. |  |

I feel that Celina is always going to do best as a kind of Big Fish in a Small Pond type setup. Admittedly, I didn't keep tabs on him at Dijon - but he didn't seem too industrious there by virtue of the stat sheet. | |

Celina has to play Edwards has to play Chaplin has to play Burns has to play Aluko has to play
No problems are good problems but….. |  |

Unfortunately he'll have to miss the Oxford game due to internationals, which is annoying because it'd be good to get five or six straight starts in him. Absolute class above last night though, and in patches before that to be fair, looked so sharp throughout. The joy of our options is that we can rotate, use different weapons and keep people fresh when other teams don't really have that luxury — but I broadly agree that with Celina firing we're a better side. | |

6 Goals/Assists in 5 starts is ridiculous. Got to be room for both him and Chaplin, I would've thought? |  |

Surely if Morsy gets called up too we will postpone it? I know he hasn't been recently but he can't be far off surely. [Post edited 3 Nov 2021 10:43]

I think that was always the plan from the outset, only a Covid issue and a non existent pre season put pay to that. |  |

I would go along with that, Celina - Chaplin - Burns with Edwards off the bench perhaps. Harsh too on Fraser who will still have a role to play this season. Those 5 competing for 3 spots is excellent depth, not to mention Aluko who has proven a lot of people wrong so far this season, good on him. Scary the quality we’ve got there, especially compared to the dross we saw in recent seasons.
Mad to think it’s only 6.5 months ago that we were losing 3-0 to Northampton with a front 2 of Sears and Jackson, with Bennetts and Edwards on the wings. Drinan, Hawkins and Dobra off the bench. Horrible. |  |

Did anyone at the game last night hear the very vocal voice criticizing Celina all through the first 25 minutes? 'Useless', 'hasn't touched the ball', 'Luxury', 'Shouldn't be starting' etc.
Directly behind the goal towards back of stand. Strangely different hear him mutter another word after his goal.
He was superb. Even in the first 20 when sure he hadn't touched the ball much I personally thought he was full of effort and covering a huge amount of ground and tracking runners which was good to see. You can't really criticize someone for not touching the ball when the team hasn't had any possession!
So glad Bersant shut that guy up! He's going to be a huge player this season, he's way above this level. |  |

Needs three to be called up and not sure we'll stretch to that. Think Egypt are fairly strong at the moment so, while Morsy is clearly not a million miles away, doubt he'll get the call unless they have injuries. | |

Yes. Based on last night he's undroppable as he was phenomenal. He's too good for this league it's patently obvious.
He's such a threat for the opposition defenders when having a ball at his feet. |  | | |

There was a fantastic pass he played in the first half, ball went out to the left hand side at around the halfway mark, he ran out to meet it and, with a single touch, spun and played the ball straight to the feet of the Town player in the centre of the field, unmarked. |  | | |

Have to say that Morsy, Edmundson, Bonne and Burns should start every game before Celina. I prefer Chaplin as a number 10, but if Celina puts in a performance like that then he should start the next game. His shirt to lose with someone like Chaplin to come in. Healthy competition. | | | |

His attacking numbers are really good, and that is what he there for, to deliver creative flair in the final third.
I do think as with all flair players, he will have a spell where he will drop off the boil, but then you have fantastic options in Chaplin/Fraser to step in and step up. |  | | |
