    Outstanding yet again yesterday, seen a bit of praise for him this last few weeks, but think he’s dipped under the radar a little bit. Got every chance of making that RB spot his own

    It is his own for me. He’s done really well. I think he’s looked better at right back than in the middle & with the depth we have in central midfield he might not get a league game there so it’s worked out well for him getting a run at right back

    Very good player judging by what we've seen so far. Think we'll struggle to keep hold of him if we don't go up in the next couple of seasons.

    Totally agree but there's not a lot wrong with Watson who plays a more conventional RB role and holds his position. great to have options. We all wondered how the new guys would look but JB has been an absolute bonus. If we'd bought him we'd be praising Sormez ( Not summat av done much)

    Some of our best players came in via the academy, this run by our former (interim) director of football.

    Hope not. He's miles better in midfield.

    Agreed. Once we're fully personnel settled, Bland should leave full backing behind. Cos he isn't one.

    He's turning into a pretty decent player though, to my surprise and delight.

    Agreed I think him and vimal have great futures in the game still only 19 both of them. Looking forward to watching them develop.
