    He needs to stop trying to side foot everything. Can be really frustrating when he has a clear line of sight on goal and decides to try pass it in. Whack it, create chaos in their box. That and a wee bit more energy and he will be some player.

    I still think there's loads more to come from him.

    I don't think hes been that great past few weeks. Admittedly was excellent today.

    Amazing prospect though. A great find.

    Guys looked so accomplished in our team from pretty much his debut.

    His technical ability is incredible. Makes the game look easy when he's on it.

    Just wish he was quicker. He's painfully slow.

    He is an excellent footballer, with a cracking attitude to match it. A real rarity in the modern game, genuinely cannot believe we got him for £1.5m.

    If we can see a more consistent Reo after a good rest and move on some of the unsuited midfield options, and bring in another DM and young high energy box to box centre mid like Christopher Scott, then we will have some options in there for next season.

    Thought he wasnt too great in first half, 2nd half he was superb, Ive slagged his defending and his heading, wouldnt jump. The first half them won about 5 headers and defending brilliantly, lol.

    As said very slow but hes silky as *.

    A few improvements to his game and he can go to the very top. Improve his finishing and fitness/speed and he'll be a complete midfielder.

    Apart from my wife wanting mad passionate * with him as he's "drop dead gorgeous" according to her he's definitely got the makings of a right good player. I think we will see the best of him next season

    Excellent performance today no question and a well taken and well deserved goal. Defended well as you said too. In particular that 5 minute spell in the second when it was still 2-1 and they had a series of corners and free kicks they put into our box. He was superb defensively in that little spell winning 2 or 3 key headers.

    Exactly.
    Covered taylor well stepping in to cathc their winger.
    And tbh he was just the name you heard doing everything.
    Defensively excellent which is something I've not seen him be so dominant at.
    One of his best for us.
