This. He'll learn all the nasty stuff. just hope it doesn't 'ruin' his game if he is playing in an anti-football style, as he was looking promising for us. Hopefully Evans uses him in a positive way. Character building at the very least.

I still hope we don't let Eccles out on loan (unless there is an instant recall option) as he looks like he could be a good CDM option. Very impressed with his pre-season/early season form.

For me. on his day Baka can be a handful/nightmare to play against (rather than lethal). even if he doesn't attain ''lethal' status, if he can more regularly be a handful/nightmare for the opposition, then that's fine with me, as others will benefit from it. It would be great if he could become...

???Won't it erode quicker if we're playing crap???

Messi is 33, and Ronaldo older - Baka has got time to get there! (Edit, I was disappointed Baka didn't round the keeper at Gillingham in the one on one. He had the keeper flat footed and looked a gimme opportunity to me).

What would be interesting to do is to look at the last half of their football league playing 'career'. Max took a while to adjust from non league, and I suspect you would see a large improvement in his figures in the second 'half'. Hopefully Baka can do the same as he develops.

Ummmm. Does that reply mean 'yes, they do not have a shirt' or 'yes, they do have a shirt'? I win Mr Pedantic of the day award!

...and Max never scores headers....

Following week for Dabo I would have thought. Brilliant to have him and Rose back though, and great that they both came through last night unscathed.

Some maybe, but the Barnsley players will want to play at Stamford Bridge.

Good news is Barnsley will have to play away at Chelsea midweek before they play us, whilst we will have had a whole week's rest. Take the positives.

Hope Bapaga's injury isn't too serious. he's going to be some player. Great to see Dabo making full blooded challenges too.

Think most of the side have played ok (Walker disappointing, but he looks like he is one who will be a fox in the box, and he shows flashes of stuff - just not much tonight). Rose (pen aside), Mason, Eccles and Fankaty did particularly well. On a side note, Bapaga reminds me of Ndlovu with his...

Result unimportant, but maybe £7.5k would be nice. A lot of good performances

Pffffff come on Tom B !

Never a free kick

Mason's been great - but that tackle!

Eccles - keeps it simple. Tackles. Happy as CDM back up for me.

That tackle for Dabo - brilliant !

Mmmmmmmmmmm ?!
