"Very poor" in the first half according to WA.
Repeatedly offside.
Looks like we have another dud.

Main positive today although I expect Murphy to be back v BC.

I thought he looked decent, bodes well.

Decent squad player. He produced the cross for the goal but lost the ball rather too easily. Rather out of position wide on the right I felt. He does not have any real pace.

on the basis of today then you could argue that Knockeart was a dud signing.

Skalak could be anything, but looks to me. on limited viewing available, to be this half-season's Elvis Manu. Playing a bit part and contributing on adrenalin and not much else. Happy for this post to be bounced and derided later in the season, especially if his contribution clinches automatic promotion. But pretty sure that won't be necessary. WAY too hit and miss to make a genuine impact.

Pros and cons today. His delivery into the box was consistently brilliant, if he keeps that up he'll get a bag load of assists which is brilliant for the team.
He's not that quick and seemed a bit one footed which wasn't ideal for a right footer playing on the left wing, but despite that still created our best chances. He doesn't carry the ball like Knocky or Kaz do.
Agree that it'll take him a while to get used to the physicality of english football.

Hit and miss after a game and two cameos. I've heard it all now.

But then you're such a pessimist that when the tide is out at Brighton beach you probably try and claim the sea is half empty!

Look up his wiki entry. Suggests he's not been a game changer for anybody anytime ever. For sure seems to be big on enthusiasm, as he would be living his dream in England, but seems equally, sadly, short on skill. Guess some people need more evidence than others

I would have kept Murphy for this one, but easily said

I love this guy; he's like the Czech Calde!
Can't believe he's being judged on one game - a game where he provided the two best potential assists!! CH has clearly been impressed by him in training given that he's featured in the past 3 games despite the availability of both KLL and Murphy.

I liked the look of him. Very busy and constantly running. Conditions today were terrible but did more than Knockaert I thought.
Got a very good cross in him though. A very tough game in crap conditions to make a full debut. I certainly won't write him off yet. Certainly has promise that's for sure.

Think I tend to agree - unless Murphy is a bit frazzled, I'd of started with Murphy today and maybe subbed him with Skalak then on Tuesday tried it the other way round.

Maybe Murphy was a bit shagged. He certainly covered a lot of ground on Tuesday.

I need more evidence than Wiki, None of their stats are based on playing in the Championship like he did today.
