[Albion] Which one of our BIG Eredivisie signings took his chance last night?

He said "Far too early". We live in a bullshit world of instant judgement and too many people who want to make themselves heard by going to extremes rather than having a balanced, considered, and oh dear.. boring view.

Good luck in finding much support for that theory!

Nope. I’m away and was out of a signal area for the entire game.

I’m hoping for some sort of sign that Locadia is not just a Premier League Elvis Manu.

I’m willing to give Ali J a little more time before I consign him to the same dustbin.

Gallagher, Redmond and Austin looked quite good. Only Bissouma for us, although Groß and Bernardo (CB) stood out in an evening with nothing much to cheer me up, least of all Coastway West.

Locadia did not resort to persistent fouling. Bruno was missed most of all. Our right hand side was weak, Kayal did OK but he was never a goal threat. So we have Bissouma, Groß, and Kayal all playing OK competing for the same position.

Jury very much out on Jahanbakhsh? He was closed down very quickly by three players.

It's shirley possible to form a working judgement on a player earlydoors, based on watching what your seeing. Things like first touch, runs into space, desire to fight for every ball. Doesn't often need half a season to reach a conclusion on these things that combine to form an overall impression of a player. IMHO like.

Two big money signings with points to prove.

I wasn't there, so please let me know: which one took their chance to impress, and give Hughton a selection headache for Saturday?

The only selection problem is to who should be dropped to accommodate both Bissouma and Gross. My selection would be to drop March and add Gross to last weeks starting XI, . as Gross often moves out wide especially if Bissouma is covering the centre.

Bissoumar
Gross
Knockaert
March
Propper
Stephens

Pick 5; not sure I would drop March.

I believe that March is the least effective of that 5 both attacking and defending but very slightly better defending.. We are at home and must attack Fulham as this is 1 game we expect 3 points from.

Been thinking if we managed to hire 'natural leaders' recently. Ryan, yes, Gross, partly, the rest? hmmm...early days I know for some. For me, the main leaders are still the 'old' guys: Murray, Bruno, Stephens, Dunk, Duffy [Knocky sometimes]. I think we need [or needed] to hire another couple of new ones. If we're lucky, Andone may be...but he needs to be in the Mitrovic mould to displace Murray [IMHO]. For me, Jose, Propper and Ali are less likely to be, but I still think Locadia has a chance to be - he needs a run in the team with a workable formation, to say yes or no: I thought he might be the 'angry boy' we need, but he's not showing it enough, or we've coached it out of him. Bissouma though...for a young lad he's showing great promise in the 'leadership' department. It's a long season, so good luck to all of them.
