Thing is I don’t think we have seen the best of him as of yet. The ball for Bree yesterday was sublime.

The ball for Leo at the start of the second half was even better. Left foot and bent into his path with absolute precision.  Beautiful to watch.

The view of that pass from the Northam.....it's football poetry. Left a few of us shaking our heads at just how good it was.

If Leo had kept it low and drilled it he’d have scored and Finn would have two candidates for assist of the season. Brilliant performance, especially after the  Ireland/Israel stress.

There are few, if any, better players in the Championship. The way he held on to the ball under pressure and still managed to release a perfect pass to Leo for his chance was sublime.

IF... we were to get promoted Finn is top of the list of players for me who could make the transition to be a starter in a PL team. 

Also Peretz, Shlotterbeck, JWP, Downes, Larin.

Perhaps telling that that is the spine of a team. Was that Spors' plan? To spend the money in our centre this year?

If Scienza can get more clinical in front of goal, and Matsuki finds another 5% they would be in the mix, as would James Bree if he can get back to last seasons form for us. Hopefully he is getting there.

Surprised you haven't listed Jander.

Should have - although I half expect him to want to head off to Germany at the end of the season

Azaz is turning into a really outstanding player at this level. Pretty crucial to us when we play well, and got the skill to unlock a defence. Fully expect him to be on the prem in a the next few years hopefully with us !
