Oliver Skipp

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Prob the best cameo he's had this season. Been quite poor for a while now tbh, I expect he's playing for his future here over the next few months.

I'm giving up.on life if an Aussie can't get a tune out of a bloke called Skippy..

KWP on Tuesday and now Skipp....I think we've broken WindyCOYS ...

I thought along with Gedson finally doing something productive, Parrott showing he can definitely play some more minutes, 19yo Skipp was the biggest plus. Great engine - 120 minutes against a PL team, no midfielder on the pitch got through more ball (82 touches, 65 passes, 91%) showed good tenacity and ability to snap at heels ( 3 tackles 2 interceptions) and the tactical street smart to bring down their player when they were about to dangerously break on us (something we failed to do several times against Wolves).

How this kid hasn't seen more game time is fucking baffling.

Don't be such a tosser. Just saying good things about players doesn't make them better. I have always said Winks is not good enough, and three years down the line he is still rubbish. I am never wrong

See the post above yours.

Good chance creation from deep

Confirmation, if any were needed, that Norwich City and its fans really liked having Oliver Skipp this season

Only third place? Clearly wasn't an online poll then.

This kid and Tanganga making an impact this season is exactly what our club needs right now.

If you followed Skippy at Norwich last year he started with them in a very similar way, he barely crossed the halfway line before Xmas it was only when Norwich became a dominant force, and when teams started parking the bus against them, that Skippy occasionally ventured forward, come April he was almost playing as a second box-to-box midfielder, even managing a goal and an assist.

Right now shielding the back four with Hojbjerg is what has transformed our defence, but as we face more buses don't be surprised to see Skippy getting a bit more adventurous, he definitely has it in his game.

Skipp must have heard this and be buzzing. Potential to be a "top midfielder". He's so grounded and hard-working he's got this.

Hits 21 and Conte comes along at just the right moment. Beautiful timing or what?

[Belgrano]

Arguably our single most important player this year and he's only 21.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

We miss him so much, it's ridiculous that we are in a situation of relying on a 21 year old rookie.

How can the medical team not know what’s going on, surely by now you send him to a specialist and get a full scan. From the outside looks Mickey Mouse.

It's Spurs, he's probably been sat in an NHS waiting room for 2 months.

 

[Starks]

He's like the anti-winks, anti-Ndombele, anti-Lo Celso, and that's why I love him.

He's a physical presence in the midfield without being a simple brute. Doesn't try to showboat to the detriment of the team, but doesn't hide either. He also makes VERY FEW unforced errors. I can only recall one truly horrible screw up, which lead to his yellow.

And if he does make an error. He's busting his arse to get back to rectify it. I'll take that.

Have to mention how great the interception was for the goal too. Came out a fair bit of distance to win the ball in front of Felix.

Took the fight to the chavs.
