Bellingham

He definitely does. People endlessly say how he looks tired or needs a rest but it’s been the same since the start of the season, 60 minutes or so full pelt then knackered.

He needs to go to bed and rest instead of being a model clothes horse. He might just come back refreshed.

He was decent. Scored, he was busy and ran into space. He anticipated Clarke's cross today and was in the right place. Can't say we've ever been able to say Burstow has ever been close to being in the positions Rusyn got into.

Goals will come from him with an extended run in the team . He suits our style of play to a tee. Burstow needs to go back to Chelsea as I'd rather see Hemir on the bench as an option.

As for Jobe he's been every bit as bad as Ba has been in my honest opinion and plenty won't agree but he's getting off very lightly.

OK I'll bite. :D
Some fans either can't see or refuse to acknowledge the endless running and closing down Jobe does. literally runs himself into the ground. Holds the ball up really well and occupies opposing defenders really well.An integral part of our set up for me. Mowbray and the new coach clearly see what a lot don't .

I know I'm going to set fire to the board with this, but genuinely no idea what he's good at. He's scored a few goals granted, but he jogs seemingly half arsed when we're trying to regain possession, frequently when he gets the ball, stops, turns back and pass it sideways. Doesn't seem to drive forward, doesn't seem able to pick a defence splitting pass, doesn't seem to take anyone on. I've no idea what he's supposed to be. I do wonder if his brother wasn't who he is, would he be starting.

I'd rather give Adil or Rigg a run of games.

This will age well.

You can see it’s all there imo. He’s f***ing eighteen.

What I would say is: they are too hasty with him. His brother didn’t play 10 properly until this year. He moved from 6 to 8 to 10. Best games I’ve seen Bellingham play - Leeds, Blackburn - he’s just ran the game from a deeper position. I don’t think he’s quite ready for 10, but he has such a high ceiling. I honestly don’t know how you can’t see that.

I don't think he holds the ball up as well as you make out. Especially when you consider his early season form .

I think he's weak as piss and is easily brushed off the ball. And a fair chunk of his passing is going astray.As for running around a lot, it's running at the end of the day. He closed down today, but I think again that can be said of a lot of our forward players.

I think he's got an enormous amount of potential, but quite frankly as it stands he's on the verge of a burnout playing so much in my opinion.

Our family think he needs resting. He hasn’t been owt special for a while.

He hasnt. He's often nowhere near strong enough when receiving the ball and I'm yet to be convinced he has the ability to play as a 10.

Then again he is talented and he's 18 and played more football this season than he has in his career.

He absolutely cannot play 6 like from a defensive perspective, he's next to non existent off the ball. He's probably a number 8 at the moment im a side with two of them but he's 18 and in and out of form - he struggles a 10, just hasn't the vision or influence on the game.

He's looked better at centre forward for me in 3 or 4 games like but clearly he or they don't want him to play it as after impressing there several weeks ago they brought Dack in to play ahead of him.

He is a 9 for me. Even his brother said Jobe is a striker when talking about his potential the other week.
