He's finally made his first team debut. However I can't get a sense from the commentary and comments on here of whether there is real promise or if he was just off the pace. He's perhaps the one transfer window signing that is still an unknown. Chris Hughton sounded a bit unsure in an earlier interview. Is he going to be the one mistake this year, or can he develop into a useful winger?.....

Who knows? He had 45 minutes playing with a makeshift strike force and our midfielders/wingers weren't offering the service they had provided in the previous couple of matches. Wolves were also sticking men behind the ball after the sending off. Don't think you can read too much into his performance
I liked what I saw. The expectation was that he was quick but a bit raw. Based on yesterday's performance, you wouldn't want him to lead the line, however his movement and touch, both showed promise. As for the offsides I was encouraged that he was looking to make those runs in behind defenders.
Patience is the key here, it may be 6 months or more, before we reap the benefits of this signing.

From the clips i saw of gis time ipwith Feyenoord i am guessing he will be a disappointment if we are expecting goals. The ones he scored where often when he had space, something not often given here.
Rubbish. This is NSC, instant judgement on half a game is required. He's shit as he didn't score. END OF.

Wise words from a man who knows NSC well
Given my post count, too well. I would be a rich man financially, but a poor one spiritually if I avoided NSC

I agree, I think the kick in the face renders any judgement on his performance yesterday invalid. It was quite a hefty blow.
Okay - ship him out to league one on loan it is.

This is where i am. I'm not over reacting to one game but i really do think we need cover for Baldock. We have great cover in so many places, bar this.
But the offsides weren't just for offensive runs, they were for ambling back, when the ball went in his direction, which is poor.
Overall, as I said in match ratings thread, the pace caught him by surprise and I'm sure he'll get better.
We need to make a more informed judgement over a number of games rather than 45 mins.
I know I have been reading this a lot on NSC so there must be some truth in it. Is that how it works ?
Why would you think it was good?
We have 3 specific positional strikers, the fast one, the big one & the 15 minute one and nothing else.
SB & TH become completely ineffectual without the other and Bobby is currently less than half a player and not up to CoG standard in that role.
This season the Albion have been odd goal lucky (the exact opposition to last season).
With no goal scoring strength in depth derailing that has always been a heart beat away.

I was only watching the stream but I thought Elvic looked keen until he got kicked in the mouth and the referee's weird delay on letting him come back onto the field.

Elvis Manu? More like Elvis DOGSHITU
He had 45 minutes yesterday and not ONE goal did he muster. The pointless Dutch waste of space.
I didn't go to the game but could see he was COMPLETE TURD and I demand we GET RID at the earliest opportunity. I don't care the transfer window is shut. TERMINATE his contract like the unborn foetus of a rape victim
