I hope the rumours of a move away are true. For such a brick shithouse the bloke is just a complete fanny. Not good enough to lace the boots of Burger, that’s for sure.

Dreadful footballer and an absolute fanny to boot.
Can only presume Neil have him the captaincy to try and bring him out of his shell as a player.
Well it hasn’t worked and if we can get rid before the window closes we absolutely should.

Not sure he was as bad as being suggested, but the three that started doesnt look a natural group, especially with 5 behind them, it's just too defensive.

We have abit of a problem really, as the captain should be nowhere near the starting 11 currently. It's only a problem if Neil doesn't have the bollocks to do the right thing but so far I think he's shown he has so fingers crossed.

I honestly think Laurent has been the biggest problem in that midfield, he's been no where meaning everyone else is having to try and cover for him rather than getting on with their own job.

Unfortunately, nearly as bad as he was at Ipswich.
Worrying when the skipper is turning in dross like that. Looked like he just wasn't there today

I’ve been saying it for a while now, Laurent needs shifting, he’s absolutely terrible, inconsistent and weak. not Captain material either.
Don’t know what Neil was thinking making him Captain

After today (and an accumulation of poor performances this season) he should certainly not be starting for us!
I still cannot understand how he was given the captaincy over Wilmot who is far more consistent and actually cares about the club.
From the debut performance of Burger today he looks light years ahead of Laurent and watching how he was immediately organising the players around him I wouldn't be surprised to see him as our future captain.

He's got the ability to be a top championship player but if we only see it one in every 4 games then there's very little point.

He’s 4th choice for our midfield at the min, with Burger, Johnson and Pearson all much better choices.

So did we play 3 players we're maybe trying to sell in Laurent, tymon and Thompson?

He was shit today, but I don’t think the set up helped him at all. There was absolutely no out ball for him in that wank formation, and we just looked clueless. The manager has to take a fair bit of the shit for how bad we were and how hard a job it was for the midfield in that first half.
Laurent probably will come out of the team for the next game but I wouldn’t be writing him off just yet. He’s got more to offer than Thompson for starters, and we’ve seen how effective he can be when we set up with the right shape and go at teams. Some people seem to want to have a player they hate or go way OTT with their criticism of. He’s not wank, or lazy or any of those things, he’s had a few poor games in a team that’s been very poorly set up by the manager. Bottom line, AN needs to stop shitting his pants away from home, he’s got the players now use them.

He simply cannot stay as our Captain and he has to be dropped next week.

It’s the newborn curse. Happened with Baker and Butland, once their partner’s give birth it goes downhill for some reason 🤣

Chasing shadows usually resulting in losing a personal duel or poor quality. Not good enough.

A Captain of any side should be going places like this and Ipswich( last away game) and leading from the front. Every fucking tackle he should be in it, every scrap he should be there. Morsey at Ipswich is wank but he's always there for the battle. Until we get a Captain who takes it too the opposition, plays on the front foot we won't do anything as a team

A huge part of the reason we were getting overrun in the first half, well below what he’s capable of.

He looked very poor today. YET AGAIN. Is it the curse of the armband? Baker went the same way when he got it too.
