deserves a lot of love, has nailed down the RB position and seems to give us an edge we havent had for a while
a lot questioned his signing, its kind of gone under radar, but must admit one of my favourite players this season |  |

I was a big critic of Furlong when he joined us. I thought he had a superb debut against Sheffield United but moving in I thought we was poor when it came to the attacking side of the game. We got into so many good positions and he slowed things down but stopping and turning back to O’Shea.
McKenna has coached him on that aspect of his game to the extent that he is undroppable as our right back. One of the first names in the team sheet. |  |

He's been superb this season. I thought we would struggle to replace Tuanzebe but Furlong has been excellent. He's a very wily, street wise defender who brings tons of experience as well. Quick, positionally really good, excellent in the air. He's a bit of an S house too which I enjoy. Every team needs those reliable 7/10 consistent performers and he's one of them. The sort of player his team mates will really value I would think. |  | | |

Yep. Plays the role we ask of him really well.
Has managed to be more positive with his passing as the season has developed too. |  |

I’ll hold my hands up, I got this signing wrong. I just couldn’t see the value in it at the time. I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong though and his Championship experience and nous is clearly invaluable for this group
Having said that, if I’m being ultra-critical, I don’t think him at right-back and Greaves at left-back quite works. With Furlong being more of a defensive full-back, it gives Leif the licence to push on down the other side and last night in the first half we had no full-backs overlapping, a right winger reluctant to go on the outside, and a left winger drifting narrow. It all changed when Leif came on.. [Post edited 4 Mar 9:30]

Bargain that we've managed to replace Tuanzebe in that position, and Morsy in the role of opposition wind-up merchant with a single player  |  |

He's a good, safe right back that reads the game well. He's just what we need. We'd be far too open if he was more in the Leif Davis mould. |  |

He’s given us a bankable option at right back which was much needed after a shaky start to the season there and has added to a good core in that back 5.
My only criticism of him is that when defending one on one out wide he runs away from the attacker and then doesn’t stop the cross - I think it is deliberate as our whole back four seemed to be coached to do it but I’d like to see us engage a bit more (especially out wide). |  | | |

For me, looking ahead to potential PL football next year, he is one of a few in this team/squad that could do a solid job in the PL.
Quick, great in the air, strong, decent on the ball (although only shows this in flashes moving forwards), can mix in the dark side of the game and really solid defensively.
Great attitude, gets on with it, seems to be resilient in terms of injuries, good team mate.
Great signing. | | | |

Worth his weight in gold for those last ten minutes with his s-housery. Closed out the game very effectively |  |

Agree with every word.
But I'd managed to forget about the marvellous Tuanzebe - damn you for reopening that wound! (not the hand thing...) |  | | |
