Such a shame that pass was just overhit. That would have been a goal and a half had it gone in. Fabulous footballer.
Thank the lord for Jared Dublin...

First class. Make him captain . The lad is a top player just need to play to his strengths Honestly I don’t think we need to burden him with it, just let him play. Gooch seemed to corral players and such well today in the absence of Laurent, and has a few years more experience too. If there’s a captaincy change it can go there, let Wouter just do his thing like Zonz used to. Completely agree!

They all played well to be fair.
Surprising that playing you best players in their best positions works AN

He was good. But he’s been fucking terrible at times since signing.
Do it consistently and I’ll be convinced.
Until then he’s firmly in the ‘could go either way’ box.
And to be fair that box is overflowing. Vidigal, Mmaee, Gooch etc. All look like they could/should be players but they have a lot more to do before we’ll know if they’re good enough for a side that wants to threaten the top 6.

Absolutely the sort of character you want in a squad but if the "being Wouter Burger" video was at all real then he seems too happy-go-lucky for the captain's armband. But that's just a snap judgment and I could be way off base.

Played really well last two games.
Captain? NO. Just let him play.
Genuine question. Subed early. Is he 90 min fit?

He's definitely played well a fair bit lately after his very up and down start to English football

As I said when we signed him, he was brilliant for Basel in their Europa run. If he is allowed the freedom to be brave on the ball in tight areas he is too good for us and the championship. Brilliant signing and seeing his best games for Basel he will love playing in a more free flowing, attack minded team where he has runners to spread the ball too.
AN's tactics made performances like the last two games impossible, I think he will be Steven's first name on the team sheet.
I went to a Basel game not long back and heard a lot of them wanting him back....not a chance that is ever happening

He's definitely played well a fair bit lately after his very up and down start to English football Definitely looks to have the ability. I just wonder is he good enough to dominate against the likes of Leeds, Leicester or even Sunderland or Hull. Let’s be honest Birmingham are awful.

You don't play 50 times for Basel if you're 'shit'. I don't think he's been bad since he arrived, but his displays have been mostly luke-warm.
The last two games he's looked a different player, and long may it continue.

I always wondered what pundits and coaches were on about when they talked about transition. The big Steven Nzonzi turned up in our midfield. When he left it became our holy grail, we spunked some brass trying replace/find his big Steve's replacement.
We've found him....... a bit too late I know. If the Wouter can add a goal or two then he'll definitely be the second coming. He's a excellent player though. He made a mockery of the blues in the second half.
Big Steve will always be a good though. Absolute class player

Tbf the lad has stepped up recently. He was decent at home to Sheff Weds, he was excellent away at Brom and he had a very decent game at home on Saturday

Really finding his feet now, I think we've got a bit of a gem on our hands. He's certainly going to attract attention soon with the way he's performing.

But consistency is the key. Give me 80% of his games like today then I agree he’s the real deal.
