Keven Schlotterbeck

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

After the deflected goal in, I thought his head would drop and he'd have a nightmare.

However he definitely recovered well after only been around two days. Bodes well for future games.

Early thoughts; money very well spent.

[CSA96]

Minor detail and no guarantee of anything but I liked that even in the first 15 mins he was shouting and clapping, telling people where to go and what to do even though he's probably trained with them once, twice max

We've needed a CB like that ever since Fonte left.

That was nearly ten years ago.

[Osvaldorama]

Looks a player on today’s performance. 
 

Really, really liked what I saw - commanding, but with the touch and passing too.

[LGTL]

Josh Coburn is no mug at this level and Kevan bullied the fuck out of him. Didn’t get a kick. 

[Dman]

Looked great. Strong and composed with absolute calamities going on besides and around him.

Loved the mentality - polar opposite of midweek and large parts of the 24/25 and 22/23 seasons. Need more of it at the club.

I have a feeling JWP would have helped Bragg second half as well. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Inside the first ten minutes you could see he was an immediate upgrade on Stephens. 

Shouting from the off, dictating plays and passes, winning duel after duel and mopping up loose balls.

Nothing fancy, just basic stuff.

But he was immense. Easily an 7-8/10 debut. Very comfortable.

[Lighthouse]

He’ll do for Lighthouse.

[coalman]

Really composed debut. Could use another one like him so Wood and Stephens are squad players. We looked immediately better with him in the team in the same way we looked immediately better when Peretz replaced Bazunu.

Loved the way he moved the ball quickly when he won it back and how he kept tight on his man to make it awkward for the attacker.

Hugely impressed. Proactive, strong, a leader. Get someone similar alongside him and we'll be well away

[S-Clarke]

Fill the squad with experienced players like him and we'll have a good time. His experience shone through today.

Nico Schlotterbeck: "I want to play with my brother" he is quoted as saying. Maybe. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Thought he was very accomplished. Didn't try anything fancy. Proper centre back.

If my GCSEs taught me anything it’s that Germans live opposite the cinema, listen to music and play football with their brother, so there could be some truth to this.

WTF are 10 defensive contributions? Aren’t these tackles, blocks, clearances, headers and interceptions?

A lot of them go swimming on Saturdays too which perhaps explains why a lot of Bundesliga games are now played on Friday and Sundays

Defensive contributions are when an opponent swears at you and you go off in the huff.

Defensive contributions: the number of times a defender has an opposition player in their pocket.

The French drink Orangina and go camping.

And offensive contributions are the number of times Manning gets caught out of position?

Every German I've ever met has a dog and knows the way to the stadium
