He's elite. Already. But I don't think we have seen him in full flow yet. Genuinely feel that there is a league dominating player in there, but I'm not certain if Miley will reach that level. Hope he does. We'll be set for the next decade.

I wasn’t far off with my grim prediction. Stokes didn’t want any weak men then went and picked all the same batsmen who already failed

Good job he can fill in at right back too!

Aye, Longstaffs formative years were spent at a club that was going nowhere, with coaches that couldn't develop him. Miley is playing with better players, coaches and in better facilities at a much younger age, he has every chance to go to the top.

Tonali looked like he's shaken off whatever has been going on with him as well. That surging run taking the ball into the corner last night, alright he ended up losing possession, but he looked like he's back. Delighted Miley is in this team too. Longstaff was the local lad doing it a couple of seasons ago, but it always felt like he was probably playing above himself and on borrowed time. With Miley, it feels like there's loads more to come and he's got a chance of growing with the club.

I was agreeing with you. He is a limited player who gives the ball away too much. Just pointing out he’s still our best option at RW, which is insane given its five years since the takeover and we just dropped £50m on a bloke who was supposed to replace him.

I was concerned for him early on in the first half - seemed like a fish out of water a couple of times at RB, but he grew massively into the game and proved those concerns unfounded.

I think, given what we've seen so far, a lot of us are questioning it. Seldom questioned it in the summer though when we were pursuing him - the consensus was it was a great signing.

Yeah can only show frustration at this rather than blame. I don't believe we're maverick in that area and should have taken a lot from the situation where Botman played on and shouldn't. Hopefully it's precautionary, but we just can't seem to catch a break with defensive injuries.

I thought he looked class last night. Their defence never had a minute's rest. He looks a great Isak replacement.

Aye. A lot of his goals for Brentford last season were right place, right time. His movement is very good.

I hope a future president will rip it down and build a wind turbine instead of it.

The plaques you can take down but this is a permanent monument to his and America's idiocy.

He looked so angry last night when he scored Proper poachers goal that. Great to see him off the mark.

Typed almost exactly the same thing earlier, and didn't post it. Predicting when someone might get injured can't be easy. Hopefully it's not as bad as first thought.

You would assume Howe was given the okay to start him by Bunce. These things aren't an exact science though.

Up yours, Rolfaroo!

I completely understand that needs must but Tino Livramento has started 8 games in the last 25 days straight after being out for two months. Tripps injury has very likely had a knock on effect. We just can't seem get ahead in any department this season...

Get with the program man! Don't you know he's dead man walking 🙄

Ah aye, I know it's not unique to us. I just find these people moronic. See beatty.

Look at Spurs and Pochettino. He got them to the champions league final and they still turned on him because of many football supporters' bizarre habit of gaining a massive and misplaced sense of entitlement in less time than it takes to boil a kettle.

That section of our fanbase sounds like the dopey mackems that want the manager gone as soon as they lose against us. We're in the semi final of the cup and hopefully about to get into the knockout stage of the CL. If that's not enough to appease these clowns, they can all fuck off. Anyway, it's not them that'll make the decision about his future, but it's genuinely embarrassing that these people exist. He's the most successful manager of any of our lifetimes. This lot would want Keegan gone at the first sign of a bad spell too.

Common sense says you’re right Gemmill. Common sense goes out the window with derby defeats though. I genuinely think he’s lost some support among the fanbase and given our completely haphazard season so far it’s going to be tricky to get the back. A lot now depends on the Wissa/Murphy axis and makeshift fullbacks…
