Just assisted Pukki for an equalizer vs Sheffield Weds. Nice bit of play, think it's his first assist of the season. Having another solid game.

Some of our so-called "fans" are only concerned with big fees and Carlos Kickaball names.I am tremendously worried our fan base will not appreciate just how young he still is, and that he still has a lot of room to grow.
He has proven to be good. But there will be ups and downs, just as there has been with our first team squad this year. Let's remember that.

Rose, Walker, Tripps used to get it and now Doc is getting abuse.
Aurier and Sanchez feck up week in and week out and then after they have 1 good game they are suddenly the best RB and CB in the EPL.
If Winks had played like Ndombele in the NLD he would have been slaughtered. You just know that Ndombele will do a fancy turn in his next game and suddenly he is the best MF in the EPL.
I can guarantee some posters have already got "Skipp is champo", "Skipp is shit" on their clipboard ready to paste after he misplaces a pass.
I get what you're saying, but Doherty gets stick because he has been poor since joining us. He's not a kid, and he isn't coming from a foreign/lower league that he needs time to adjust to the pace of the PL.Some of our so-called "fans" are only concerned with big fees and Carlos Kickaball names.

I see what you did there ;-)Poor guy, if he comes back and isn't an instant reincarnation of Hoddle/Dembele/Modric, he will be doomed.
I keep doing that - making jokes and not realising itI see what you did there ;-)
Can you give 3 instances where his poor play has specifically cost us?I get what you're saying, but Doherty gets stick because he has been poor since joining us. He's not a kid, and he isn't coming from a foreign/lower league that he needs time to adjust to the pace of the PL.
I don't criticize players for one bad pass/game, but he has been pretty awful.

I don't want to sidetrack the Skipp thread but Doc was our 1st choice RB at the start of the season and we were pretty much unbeatable.
He was RB for many of our recent wins with clean sheets and Doc made 2 assists. He has not been poor. We rarely lose when Doc starts.
Our results only began turning sour when Serge Aurier started giving away crazy free kicks and pens.
If a player outdoes a player by skill or speed I can accept that.
But not stupidity.
I shall reply to this on the Doherty threadCan you give 3 instances where his poor play has specifically cost us?

Another start and away win.
Norwich 10 points clear at the top.
Skipp subbed in 93rd minute
Skipp playing much more as a box to box player these days and pops up on edge of opposition penalty box quite a few times. Not just a DM
I was just going to say the samehe looks taller...
That's a worry Jose will have him tied to the centre circle in his double-pivot bullshit so he won't be as mobile as he looks currently.Gonna be horrible for the kid next season when he is told he'll be playing as an auxiliary centre back and is not allowed to pass the ball forwards.
