How fucking good was he today. Shades of Big Claude. Couple of hairy moments and almost decapitated an opposition player but overall brilliant. Love him already.

Absolutely ace, already love the bloke
Shocking first 15 - but after that, just how entertaining he was to watch. Misjudged a few headers but his pace just made him impossible to get past unless they were nearer the box
And his reaction at the full time whistle was a joy to see

Could tell how much the result meant to him after so long out of the game. Will have the odd dodgy moment in him but his pace gives us a totally different dimension at the back and he is good in the air.
Deserves to retain his place for the next game.

Feels like he will be a 9/10 some weeks and a 3/10 others, but massive for him to produce that performance against Solanke after so long out of the game.
He may already be my favourite player

Lindsay and (especially) Bauer have a job getting back in.
A shaky first 10 minutes then once he made his 1st dart with the ball, settled in.
Played Bambo!

What???
Only ‘Shades?’
Nah, he is Big Claude reincarnated. Same prosthetic legs, same socks, same heading style."…………….. and best of all, he’s got this ability to shepherd a ball out with his arse that only Claude and Gregan had.

Faster than Kevin Magee. Terrible first 5 minutes, brilliant for the rest. Reads the game pretty well.
And he can pass a ball, looks a good player.
OP
Yeah, I kept saying today how much he reminded me of him. Especially when he had that foot race with Cantwell and Big Bambo was bearing down on him like a steam train about to hit a tin can.
Absolutely love the guy. Was expected to be a little shaky or nervous at the start after two years away from playing in front of crowds, but after that he was superb.
I feel the way he can bring the ball out from the back like a steam train will really suit the style of play Lowe wants us to play as well.
There will be errors but he's that quick and strong he recovers so well. I've seen enough, get him tied down.

I thought he had a great game. His reaction at the end of the game showed some passion. He’ll be on a high after that performance. 😜

My MoM.......... Even if he cocks up he has the pace to make amends....... Given how long it has been since he played I think he did great to do 90 minutes.. well done Sir !
Against a quality team like Bournemouth, what a debut. A shaky start, but after that, he had Solanke in his pocket.
A few touches he played at the back were utterly ridiculously brilliant. He can drive forward and play.
He could be a good un’.
