[Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

[Gazwag]

Let's not get carried away just yet. Neat and tidy today. Good goal. But very early days. Made another big error just before being hauled off.

Very early days. Surpassed my expectations so far after his early showings.

Bit like the big error at 1-1 made by a certain Mr Gross and who was there to clear off the line, well well well,

 

[Justice]

He’s going to make mistakes who doesn’t, I’ve been doing the same job for over thirty years and still have the odd duh moment.
The thing I like about him is he’s very level headed and improving game by game could be a real star and hopefully not one to run for the £££ ‘s at another club.

Everything I see (obviously curated content but nonetheless) is so positive from within the club. Hot blood and big balls.

What a time to be an Albion fan!

@dwayne are you still doubting whether he'll make 20 PL starts?

Another great performance where he didn't put a foot wrong, whilst playing out of position.

Gave the ball away a few times again in very dangerous and had to be bailed out

Early days

@dwayne he is 18.
His progress has been incredible. He just started against
Marseille out of position.
He’s nailed on to be an England international.

He was my MOTM for the first 30 mins

I confess I thought like you for the first couple of games but I was (and you are) wrong

Except for the “early days” comment

Let’s just add to that...

RDZ, one of the most highly respected managers in football picking him and describing him as the new Gross.
Senior players including Lallana calling him special.
Playing for England youth teams.
Scoring a game winning goal.
Already looking better than another kid his age who is regarded as the next Argentina number 10.

Apart from that....

 

[Munkfish]

His touch is f***ing impressive. Out of position 18 years old he’s doing brilliantly.

Southgate was there to watch him (and Dunk) last night

Feels starting to get to the point where he’s going from in first xi due to injuries to in regardless.

Agree, Jack is playing himself into a starter’s role now. All over the pitch last night superb performance

As @Munkfish mentored above, his first touch is extremely good. Almost always gets the ball under control immediately and is instantly ready to play the next pass. Technically very adept as well as reads the game superbly.

 

[brighton_tom]

Very assured & composed performance I thought, in a high pressure game. Well done the lad.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Our long term replacement for Gross !

 

[Whitechapel]

If we’d signed him for £10,000,000 in the summer we’d all be praising the recruitment team for unearthing another gem.

He’s young so he will have dips in form but his progression is startling, going to have a massive career.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

I thought he was excellent in the first half and good in the second half, inevitably tired a bit.

He’s an absolute baller…his first touch is brilliant, his reading of the game is that of a mature player and - as with Pascal - he can see and play a pass.

It did help I was pitch level West lower so I had a very close up view of his play.

He is going to be outstanding. He’s already very good.

 

[American Seagle]

Seemed, understandably, a little nervous in his first couple of appearances but seems to be getting better and better every game and looks like those nerves are nowhere to be seen right now.
