Great last night and Saturday - he’s a more handsome Jonny Walters in the making.

What a super signing this lad is proving to be. Great workrate, good in the air, decent technically and a good finisher. Him and Hoever are forming a terrific partnership down our right hand side and long may it continue.
I know a lot are crying out for Junior to start but I would keep these two together for now. Junior's time will come.

Just getting better and better.
His partnership with Hoever on the right flank is going to drive us up the league.

I'm not a big one for messing about with the defence if it's working. |

He’s absolute quality
He had one game where he couldn’t kick a ball to save his life then settled in perfectly

Another top performance by Mehdi.
One of those who just adds that balance to the team with the perfect combination of defensive and attacking duties.
And full marks to Dublin for picking him out as someone who will fit into a Neil team. On paper he might not have been one who stands out but Neil clearly told him what he was looking for and Dublin has come up trumps.

On balance probably our best signing of the the summer so far. He and Hoever work well together

Someone referred to him as a competition winner a few games back. It's embarrassing some of the comments made about our players before they've been given chance settle in.
Long may he continue pissing Bayern off with his "running"

Must admit I thought he was utter shite after his first games for us, but he is slowly winning me over I must admit!  |

A classic example of a player needing a little time to find their feet.
It will be interesting to see how he develops over the next couple of months!

Junior's time will come. Given Hoever appears to struggle late on like to see Junior off the bench I agree with this, I think it goes abit under the radar how much comes down the right and what a shift Hoever puts in. He may not be perfect defensively but he is improving, especially given how much teams are targeting him and he’s always involved at the other end too. Hoever off for junior to tighten up on 75/80 mins certainly makes sense if he has shown he can get up to the pace of the game (which is always a risk) |

I'd give him a go up top he's got the attributes to do well there in an AN set up.

Phenomenal work rate, like Brown, but is obviously a proper footballer. If he had a little more pace he’d be Premier League class. Having said that I think he’s a little more SJW level now and he wasn’t electric with pace, but managed. He could end up having a very good season indeed.

Long may he continue pissing Bayern off with his "running" He looks like he’ll carry on having those moments, his touch is pretty inconsistent. He’s grown on me a lot the last few games. Timing of his jumps in aerial battles is superb. Definitely turning out far better than expected which was a player that ran around a lot and didn’t score or assist. No apology for that conclusion, that’s what the data said ATM he’s winning me over. |

He's as important for the way he works with Hoever as he is for his individual ability.

Overall consistency of performance is something we have lacked from too many players for too long. Fingers crossed he is (along with a few others) beginning to show that.

I really like him gives the team energy with his workrate. Has earnt his place. I’d imagine he’s now one of the first names on the team sheet.

I like his all around game. Wins headers, presses well, comes back to help defence out with excellent stamina. And the plus side hes not just a work-horse he has some skills and some tricks up his sleeve and can actually shoot - his stats before Stoke were terrible in goals scored but I can see him getting 7 or 8 goals this season if he carries on like he does.

It's ironic ( in a good way) that he is kind of keeping junior out of the team, by covering so well for Hoever's weaknesses as a defender.
I am pretty sure that junior is a better defender than Hoever .
But Hoever is a classy player going forwards and Leris , covers his defending flakiness well.

I’d rather us develop our own than the Wolves reserve we’ll never sign. Really enjoyed watching Leris yesterday. He’s a good, all-round player. |
