Made a mockery of the nonsense that came out last week after one bad game. We are 5th from bottom and he just put in a performance of the highest order in against 4th bottom. That really showed me, that did! As well as strong showings in pretty much every game but one since he’s been back in the side. But by all means dig yourself into that trench, mate.

Won plenty of headers today, not a strength I realised he had.

Great performance today.
Once again, he's set the bar. Very high.
Hopefully he doesnt drop to pathetic lows again. Its proper frustrating when he does, when we all know how good he is.
Hopefully application and attitude continues in the right vein.

An average player for me, and as a relegation team is someone we hope does good. Beyond that he is and always will be short of what we need. Im not over enthused by him and one i wouldnt lose sleep over if we got rid in the summer. Far too slow, light weight and gernerally looks better than he is as we dont have a creative midfielder. He is fucking slow.

He is fucking slow. He looks better than he is because we don’t have a creative midfielder? How does that work? The goals and pre-assists he’s getting are palpable, they’re not a matter of perception....

I appreicate if you think otherwise but foe me its a see you later at the end of the season, especially given his reported wages.

Really good performance. Not quite sure why people went OTT last week after Derby?
He's the only genuine footballer we own.

Hes a proper footballer and get`s stuck in (most of the time).
A genuine talent and one of the reasons we are scoring more goals.

He is fucking slow. We're not a relegation team! Sadly its a head in sand moment. Do I honestly think we will go down? - no not a fucking chance. Do you think that being in the bottom 6 of this league (given that 3 go down) is an absolute "not a relegation team"? we have gone from bottom to 7 points clear to almost going back in the bottom 3 prior to kick off. THAT IS A RELEGATION BATTLE. we are waxing lyrical about players because they are now doing enought to keep our heads above water, but fuck me, in the grand scheme of things I would loose no sleep if we fucked them all off and started again. Powell isnt the answer, and he would struggle to get in any of the top 8 of this league, the reason why some give him more air time is the fact that he can be genious, in flashes. whereas a Derby or say Brentford fan would expect that day in day out, not on a rare occasion.

Most chances created for us today - Powell Most attacking aerial duels won today - Powell Most attacking third passes today - Powell He was dispossessed once today, I appreciate you might not think he’s the best player ever but it just seems a very odd thing to say when he practically ran the game today and has been pretty brilliant since O’Neill has come in and he’s started playing regularly. Our form puts us in a playoff place since he came and Powell has been behind so much of it.

He’s one of the few players we have who could play at a higher level. Very good on the ball and has vision and time.

Won plenty of headers today, not a strength I realised he had. Powell has every attribute going. Good in the air, excellent finisher, 2 good feet, can tackle, has good energy and an ability to see things others can't. His headed pass for first goal, and that's exactly what it was, was sublime. He did with his head what others can't do with their feet.

Derby is basically the only bad game he’s had since he’s been back in the team, why is that carrying more weight than all the good games he’s had?

Absolutely non plussed by the negative opinions of Powell on this thread.
How anyone can watch how he's played since Xmas and not be impressed is beyond me.
