Wonderful header - again!

If he played for Liverpool and was doing this, the hype train would be out of control, so so good for someone his age

 

[Springal]

I don't want to be negative but he does often receive the ball well into the opposition half only to pass the ball backwards.
TBF he is not the only one.

I think it’s probably a bit of confidence thing but also he’s not naturally a ‘wide’ player is he ? More of a CM

But everytime he does it, it’s the right pass to make. His decision making is spot on always - it’s incredible for such a young player.

Not the fastest, you’re probably correct. But then Veltman isn’t either.

And?

I hope he stays with us long enough to takes Pascal position, as he has all his attributes.

Once Veltman is back what do we will happen? No way Jack should get dropped, does he shifted alongside Billy?

Shhhshh # under the radar

The hype is coming.

He's an incredible player at 18. Judging only by his current form, he's our best ever 18 year old imo. He's like a seasoned head already... But it's still early days.

Although as Ferguson has demonstrated lately, it's hard for top young talent to sustain form at this level, so we'll see how it goes. No pressure on the lad.

Possibly because he’s not a fullback or winger and is being played out of position, which makes his performances all the more remarkable.

 

[Zeus]

He’s def the prem newcomer of the year. I just hope he’s a dunk keeper and not a seller after a couple of years

 

[AlbionBro]

I always thought his dad Adam was quality, but also felt he wasn't mobile enough to go much higher through the divisions, Jack is of slighter build and looks mobile enough at this stage, as long as he stays away from the pies, as he starts to fill out and he will be great.

Exactly. He only doesn't do it when he's clear with one of those really well timed runs. Which put him in a perfect position. Doesn't really have the pace or trickery to go past a man so focuses on maintaining possession.

Incredibly disciplined for a kid. He'll be a great centre mid from 20+ I think.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Well I can't recall a penalty? The Telegraph are clearly on something....

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

According to an X from Mark Beard on X today, Hinshelwood is a Millwall fan.

What's that all about then?

In that case I think he's now Millwall's celebrity fan rather than Danny Baker

An article on him back in 2021.

Recognise the name? Jack aims to take Hinshelwoods into fourth generation

Albion fans will have spotted the name Hinshelwood back on the club’s line-ups recently.

Lovely little article. Dreams can come true.

Hopefully BS, but rumour doing the rounds on Twatter (sorry X), he's out for 4 months

If he is even injured (he clearly wasnt by the time of this afternoons presser), there is no way they would have been able to diagnose the time length already.
