He does for me, our best technical player, two footed, best football IQ. Best shot from outside the box. Pace, balance and a natural finisher

It's because he's a bit of a headless chicken. Certainly no possibility of being a prem player

It's a game of two halves, and Rothwell was like a one man band out there, sticking it into the back peg, but you don't score until you score. It's a funny old game.

The team has been fantastic, but we need to improve... the boys gave it their all, but we need to take it one game at a time... take it to another level. We couldn't ask for more, and this championship is not over until the fat lady sings.

He put in a few good performances in that role in the premier league. So why wouldn't he be able to do that at the lower championship level. What he gave us as a sub in the premier league is exactly what we've needed a few times this season.
Same with Charlie Cresswell, it's not about ability or talent, Farke just doesn't like players who want an opportunity to play.

2 goals and 4 assists in 938 minutes at 20/21 years old suggests Joffy had all the potential in the world to be a Premier League player tbf.

Are senior international players who would love a Premier League record like that.

When he was linked with Saudi Arabia, most fans were up in arms, now he suddenly isn't good enough.

He's still young tbf, players like him don't reach their potential until about 25. I'm just glad he's only on loan atm.

Yes.

And as a young player he really impressed In the time he was given.

Had he been given managed and given opportunities I think he'd have been very useful.

Instead Marsch, Farke and co barely let him kick a ball for years.

Imo if we weren't going to buy a 10 Joffy was the ideal Aaronson alternative.

Still our player isn't he?

So nice to see him doing well at middling Champi club.

Robbed of a lovely goal from Piroe with beautiful link play with Aaronson.

Rothwell ran that game.

Odd loose pass, but he was immense.

Just back form the game and because we were totally dominant second half Farke was 100% correct to not change anything until the 3 points were secured by the 2nd goal. We absolutely passed the legs off them in that second period with some sublime interchanges of play, plus the understanding and movement of our players was at times excellent.

Well done everyone for bouncing back from a disappointing result at the weekend.

Reading through the match thread it's really difficult to understand the criticism of our players and manager. Every player played their part in what was a really good team performance against tricky opposition who've previously beaten us twice this season.

Thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd half - we were unlucky not to score a few more goals.

I think that the powers need to watch that performance and the decisions of the officials. They ran it as though their families were being held hostage at gunpoint by a Chinese betting ring, if you get my drift.
