Watching Igor yesterday he hardly ever gained actual control of the ball - maybe a couple of paces and he lost it. He was closely marked, which is hardly surprising and this season he needs to get used to that, but he didn't manage to outsprint or outmuscle the defence, which is unusual. If...

When Collins went off after 20 mins Schuster and Ajer stepped up and got the job done - we could have been well and truly stuffed with such an inexperienced back four, but they coped, almost kept a clean sheet (which is rare) and kept us fighting till the very end. Superb performance from them!

When Collins went off after 20 mins I thought Ajer rose to the occasion superbly. We could have been stuffed then, but Ajer was then our most experienced defender by a long way but I was specifically watching him marshalling the back four really well, in particular the new boy Schuster who grew...

Signing in Paris eh! So what standard of biro do they use there? 😊

Has anyone on here seen actually Jayden this year? Sounds like he was suitably impressive in his many minutes for Rangers last season and also captain of England U-20's. Maybe he's now ready to take his place as Rico's proper back-up and ahead of KLP, who has only been a stand-in after all...

I wonder if he's related to the other famous Rice footballers in Ireland (Pat, Declan)? Very good heritage if he is.

The Fan Dango! Very Good! We need to learn how that goes....

The way AM cruises past defenders with two-footed dribbling is the best I've seen since JDS in his hey-day. Smooth, effortless, unhurried I look forward to seeing a lot more of him. (And to see whether he, like JDS, causes Jamie Redknapp to drool non-stop when he does his half-time round-up)

No no no - you're Grepo. I'm beefuddled. But I'm happy to help with your identity problems, we're all on the same side...

I understand that Justin for the past 2 years has been a single parent with 3 kids and still living in a house in north London with a long commute to BFC. As such a familiar role in the same part of town will be good for him, especially as he also has the England job to squeeze in too. I wish...

Plettenberg's post on X simply says 'Price valuation: €15m.' Doesn't give any clues as to where that value came from, and I'm certain that's not our club's valuation. He's worth a fortune to us and his hard won experience is now reaping excellent benefits. How much would it cost to replace him...

Woohoo MK, what great news for a Friday! Two-footed, strong and quick, superb prospect!! Drinks all round! Kayode da da da He comes from Italy and now he is a Bee ?? (sorry I couldn't stop singing that all afternoon)

Wow what a good left foot he showed for that assist and those goals! He must've been working so hard on that during his recovery period. His assist was a real slide-rule pass with his 1st touch couldn't ask for better ? (shame we couldn't appreciate it in the distant West Stand) ? I thought...

When KLP first arrived he seemed to be playing as an out-and-out winger on the occasions when he came on as sub and doing a reasonable job for someone so inexperienced. Out of necessity he was then sometimes tried at LWB and his tackling and defensive cover has definitely now improved a lot...

Ran his socks off yesterday against a Spurs onslaught and some great work attacking and defending. Earnt his crust for sure and potentially our man-of-the match I thought
