I guess I'm not 100% certain how minor his knock is but that's just the pessimist in me. I'm sure we'll see him play before the end of October.
Seems to be training. So, I’m pretty certain it’s not that bad.

The other player who I think is being a little under-rated is Adingra.

To me it's incredible he's not starting. And again I understand it's a result of the amazing squad we are putting together and the good start made by our front men. But I just think at this point right now, he's ahead of Minteh. I think he has more assists and goals in him.

I don't belittle Minteh at all and I'll totally take the point about how he helps his full back and Adingra is more comfortable on the other side. I just think in Sept 2024, Simon carries threat just that little bit more.

The way FH, when asked about Weiffer, said that Kadioglu gives us another option there, suggests to me that there is a possibility that we might see a centre midfielder, Jack Hinshelwood starting at left back and a left back, Ferdi Kadioglu, starting in centre midfield. It's like 1970s Holland* around here lately.

* - I know, but in the 1970s nobody called them the Netherlands.

Impressed by his respectful assessment of how Ispwich will play and the challenge they will present. I hope we are more up for these sort of matches than we have been in the past.
Love the 'these sort of matches' comment. You imagine saying that to an Albion fan circa late 70s/early 80s about Ipswich, or at just about any other time!

Jason Steele was busy coaching young kids down at Wish Park on Tuesday evening, watched by Lewis Dunk and his two dogs. My son was reffing another game on another pitch and spotted them. Dedication (whoa-oh!)
There are no question marks or concerns about his character.

Fabian Hürzeler is a very impressive speaker, his replies to questions come across as very measured and respectful.
If it turns out that he can also create a successful winning team we will have a young future star in our ranks.

p.s. It's disappointing that whoever the rookie is that created this thread couldn't spell his family name correctly.
Or am I being whooshed and it's another case of "Were Loose" ?

Defiantly.

Game of opinions and all that, I'm the opposite. I think Minteh is brilliant and not quite appreciated enough on here YET. I think he's got more goals and assists in him than Adingra now and he starts ahead of him every single time for me. Adingra couldn't do what Minteh did to get our first goal against Everton and our goal against Arsenal, Minteh is quicker and stronger, you can see defenders are shit scared of him as well as the fact he helps out defensively. Adingra can be quite lightweight at times.

I like Adingra and he's a useful option from the bench but that's where he's best for me. Plus, I prefer him in his favoured position on the left so I think Fabian has got it just right by starting Mitoma and then bringing Adingra on for him late on against tired defences.

Good options!

Can't wait to see Solly back, think I will be quite emotional!
You and me both. We can't rujsh him though, and it will take some time to get him back up to speed and match fit. Even then he is far from a shoe in for a starting place, with the likes of Minteh and Adingra also vieing for a place on the right flank.

Time will tell to find out if he is still the player he once was.
