    Technically he's the worst player at the club and I'm including Andre in that. If Ivic insists on playing out from the back then Kabasele is going to cost us goals this season, no doubt about it. Then there's getting too tight to his man and being turned, getting caught under the ball and just generally being out of position a lot of times, which he can get away with against a slow striker because of his 'pace'. He could probably get away with a lot of these things in the Championship to a point and has so far because we've kept three clean sheets. Therefore it would be crazy to drop any of them but I think it's only a matter of time before Ivic sees Troost-Ekong as the better option.

    I see Kabs getting a bit of a kick-in right now. I'm on the fence with him. He does so many good things, but has this crazy lack of concentration at times. He has a mistake in him virtually every game, which is frustrating as hell, but he's an excellent player overall.

    He made one really important clearance against Luton, which I doubt many players could have made. The ball was whipped in low and hard in a dangerous area, he stretched out his leg and not only cut out the cross but cleared it for a throw in. He was facing his own goal and at full stretch. He he got that wrong it could have been very costly, but he played it perfectly.

    His pace is also very important. He can track back with the vast majority of players, as he's got the pace of a striker because he used to actually be one.

    Who will be dropped for T-E? I think Wilmot struggled against Boro and had a couple of bad moments at Sheffield too, but he played much better against Luton. Kabs played well against Boro and Weds, but had that crazy moment by passing under no pressure straight to a Luton player, and they should have scored from it. Cathcart has been pretty much perfect and even scored the only goal against Boro.

    For me, it's between Wilmot or Kabs who gets dropped, but I don't think he should drop anyone for the next game. After 3 clean sheets you cannot change it around.

    I utterly resent that even if said in jest

    It is perfectly reasonable to say the Kaboul / Ekong and Joelinton are facially similar without having a racist bone in your body

    I intend to block you

    It's obvious what the connotation is, so don't pretend to be naive about it. You and a lot of people on this forum need educating.
