    Just a fantastic player overall.

    One thing I've noticed this season is he seems to have gained a good bit of pace, still not as quick as Juranovic but not as far off as I originally thought.

    Him or Kuhn our best player, first 25 mins. Might just have been the game switched to the other side but basically disappeared after that.

    He was quick first season but looked slower last, obviously due to injuries and no being 100%..

    Was that first time he's worn the armband?

    It's unbelievable how quickly he and kuhn have gelled. I honestly can't remember the last time we had a full back and winger work so in sync. Just excellent together

    Ralston and Abada Anges first season had that. Things I love to see.

    Maeda and Taylor also have a very good link up, in a different style

    Aye ralston was good at over lapping but this is something else man. Long balls over the top. Close quarters passing in tight areas and through balls.
    In the famous words of pantera...it's a née level

    It was the pass he’d always find between fullback and CB for Abada to run onto, time and time again. Just new when he was going to explode into space, and knew when he was to get up and beyond.

    AJ and Kuhn, they just always know where the other one is, and find each other when it looks like the ball might not be on. It’s * great stuff. AJ’s been on fire this season

    I love him. He has a ice hockey personality on the pitch. Complete controlled aggression, which I love in a player. Brown was exactly the same after a few years with us.

    Delighted that he got the armband. It'll mean a lot to him, which it should.

    Was surprised when I seen how little he gets booked, he always has one or two a game he smashes someone in a 50/50 but he always seems to win it.

    Was buzzing he got the armband yesterday. Absolutely love the guy.

    Worst game he's played for us by a country mile. Played a huge part in three of their goals. What was he doing for the first?

    He's clearly carrying an injury that needs rested a while, but that doesn't excuse that shitshow.

    He was awful but I won’t hold it against him because who wasn’t? Couldn’t believe the amount of times he gave the ball away
