He’s 36 and It feels like he’s dominated about 24 games against us over the last 12 years for Reading and Wycombe. We never seem to learn playing against him that you can’t let him dictate the tempo.

Has he had a massively underrated career or does he just turn into Pirlo whenever he plays us?

    Yes, he's a modern day Barnsley Boris.

    Was it him who almost scored a screamer just after the other bloke scored a screamer and I was going to give up hope forever

    he’s almost always excellent against us, decent today but for once didn’t score. Think he’d have been a good signing for us for a season or so

    He has had a massively underrated career. Deserved to play at a higher level in my opinion. Always played well against us and whenever I’ve watched Wycombe highlights he’s always involved in anything good they do, providing assists or scoring goals. Thought he was excellent today, some very intelligent play, created a couple of decent openings for them, a thorn in our side.

    Didn't realise he is 36. Was excellent against us again today

    Top player. Always looked good against us and did so again today.

    Had £10 on him to score today, always looks fantastic whenever I’ve seen him play. (Particularly against us)

    He's a very lively player. It does show how 'good' our scouts and coaches are to let him have a regular field day.

    We should have got him when he was right under our noses at Bromley.

    We very nearly signed him in 2020, very good friends with Gunter, but we ummed over it and Bowyer wanted Maddison.

    But you know if we signed him his legs would final go as soon as he signed the contract.
