I wouldn't go that far. If he was actually that good, we wouldn't have shipped goals in for fun since Cheltenham. He's a work in progress.
Agreed. He’s underwhelming, thus far, for me.
A little harsh. He can’t do it all on his own and our defence has been given pretty much zero protection by the midfield in most of our games. I think he’s been one of the better players (not saying much…) so far and things would be even worse were it not for him. Playing with Famewo and Pearce for a prolonged period of time doesn’t sound great so I hope Lavelle has a speedy recovery.

He's no Paddy Bauer, Ryan Inniss, Michael Morrison, Naby Sarr, Akin Famewo, Deji Oshilaja or even a Gunter.
He's certainly got room for improvement, but he's stepping up and looked decent against the best side we've played this season.
Based on the little we've seen so far I think he's better than Oshilaja and Gunter. Can see him doing well for us.
agreed - he may well go on to be better than most of those dazzler mentions and become a real fan favourite - he's similar to pearce but is taller, quicker and more athletic
We simply can’t play a youth player who won’t sign a contract when we have other fit defenders.
Sign a contract, become a regular in League One and get your big move in the summer. I have no idea why these kids are so desperate to fast-track before even proving themselves.

Big miss …. Now we are down to two centre backs our injury luck is ridiculous……. funny how people make an opinion on a player after a couple of games like McG one week he the best keeper in the league next he should be dropped …. Laville would have been ever present and as I say future captain going to be a massive miss and without Inniss we are looking very thin at centre back

I can't believe i'm saying this - but I agree with pretty much all of that Ronnie...

Easy. MONEY.
Of course. I just don’t understand being so married to the idea of not signing when you have…
Option A: Sign a contract, play professional football and secure a fee for the club that supported your development as a player and human being, becoming very rich once you move.
Option B: sit on the bench and leave at the end of the season having barely played any first team football, becoming very rich once you move.
With so many examples of us selling youngsters who go on to succeed, particularly in his position, you can’t help but question the lads character.

We don't though.
Famewo and Pearce will start. Inniss and Lavelle are injured, Gunter is a liability. Who else is there?

That’s my point, Pearce comes in instead of Elerewe. If he’d signed a contract he’d be starting ahead of Pearce, as he’s not Pearce comes straight in and Elerewe goes on to the bench out of necessity.

Mathews, Famewo, Pearce. Just like we did at Sunderland when Lavelle went off.

It makes sense that they hang around together, they can speak their own language to each other
I think he's done ok to be honest, our midfield and both the full backs have been a bigger problem than him.
That sucks, do we know when Innis is due back (for the few games before he gets injured again)? Good chance for Deji to step up though.
At least nobody felt the need to tell us that our sports science team are excellent during the update.
