Could they put a camera on the journalists and give us a chance to lipread the questions ?

I suppose the obvious one is Carvalho but i'd quite like to see KLP in there as well If Diouf is up to speed.

I didn think he did enough in the mid week game considering he was playing kids

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Hardly an original comment but we could do with him back.

Did not look to be moving that freely before the game.

He looked to be moving well as he was walking in front of us

He had those trendy clog things on though that may have prevented him running etc

 

[upnorthbee]

We miss him, he's the key to unleash the front 3 for me.

We are definitely missing the maestro. My other concern is that he is yet to sign a new contract. I reckon he'll have a great autumn to his career. He seems to be getting better and better as he assumes the role of elder statesman in the team and acquires greater confidence as a result. If he's willing and able we should make a real effort to sign him up. Any known reasons for this not happening already?

I'd expect to hear something in the next quarter. Contract extensions and renegotiations (or not) are normally done in the period after the summer transfer window when Phil, Lee and Keith review the plans for next season.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

A reminder that Vitaly and Kris Ajer, whose contracts were also running down, signed new contracts well into the second half of last season.

Agree, has a touch of the Luka Modric's about him, getting better with age

Like a fine wine or Stilton!

Like a fine wine or Stilton!

Didn’t that used to be Sinton once upon a time?

 

[JFisher97]

Mathias Jensen is also set to miss Saturday’s trip to the south coast as he continues his recovery.

“He’s doing well,” said Andrews. “He won’t be involved tomorrow. Realistically, I don't think he'll be involved next weekend."

“We’ll see how he goes next week, but certainly not tomorrow.”

[Bee in Leeds]

Hopefully getting fully recovered and ready to go after the international break.

 

[JFisher97]

Would love for him to hit 300 appearances this season

 

[ziggys_human]

Would love for him to hit 300 appearances this season

he'd have to play every day... sometimes twice

 

[Dazza]

Nice to have him back. One lovely cross that Anthony probably should have done better with. Some nice clipped balls over the top and some nice passes. We looked better going forward with him and Sangare on the pitch.

 

[JosephBFC]

Great to have him back. So calm and composed whenever he was on the ball, which was very useful in such a frenetic game. should’ve had an assist with his cross for Anthony. 1 appearance closer to the big 300

 

[Untouchable]

He’s a class act. We’ll need him to start next week against Liverpool.

Hopefully a new contract is coming soon.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

The team was better with him in it

Sangare and Mathi are a good combination.

 

[BmthBee]

Sangare and Mathi are a good combination.

Definitely ...and will only get better with time together

 

[North London Bee]

Rolls Royce of a player. Always finds time and space.

 

[Jim Rourke]

Rolls Royce of a player. Always finds time and space.

And makes it look easy!

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

So pleased to have him back

 

[jlove]

We'd also be more effective with Kayode's throw-ins with Jensen on the pitch. The option to throw shorter to him to deliver into the box from a different angle, with the opposition defence set at the near post to clear a throw, would result in many more opportunities. Add Collins into the mix for far post headers and we'd be scoring more.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Made the difference when he came on

 

[Mick.C]

Sangare plays better with Jensen alongside, the short interchanging of passes and moving attack quickly from one side to the other is noticeable and then you realise Jensen brings momentum and the press with him as well. The team just looks more in sync and fluid with Matti in position.

It was good to see Jensen back yesterday.
I think that Sangare & Jensen may start
next week? Just my opinion, based on their ability of moving attacks from side to side as detailed above.
The solidarity of this current squad is top drawer, whoever is selected in the starting XI will put a shift in.
COYB's

Totally agree. When Matti got injured I thought oh s###. Now I'm really looking forward to the Liverpool match. Shame about 0-60 Zebedee, but that's being plain greedy.

 

[JFisher97]

Agree. I think maybe the same starting midfield we had in the first game against Tottenham. Worked well then

 

[andyrew]

Very good today. I was disappointed when he was taken off.

 

[Jim Rourke]

He was excellent.

Is the contract situation around him wanting to do something else or the length of a proposed deal? I would love to see him extend

 

[jlove]

We've missed his long ball passes – it needs more time for Ouattara and Anthony to anticipate them better.

 

[Jezybee]

A rare off day. Battled hard and won the ball back high up the field several times. However, his song today might have been “… he to frequently gives the ball away”
Have to applaud him for the best free kick we’ve had in a long while when he hit the bar.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

I thought he played very well and was about as aggressive in the tackle as I've seen him. Just classy.

 

[Mr Tree]

His radar's a bit off at the mo, but it happens

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Definitely didn't live up to his song today. It happens.

 

[andyrew]

Did I hear KA say '...and hopefully many more to come' when discussing future appearances? Is this a hint that a new contract is coming soon. I really hope we can get him to stay longer.

All the right words, but not necessarily in the right order.

I totally agree with you, though. Matti is a special talent and is a major contributor to the team (as Keith mentions). It will come down to all parties concerned when sorting out his contractual position and unless there are strong reasons for him leaving (e.g. he wants to move away, the club want to give more playing time to the younger players we have bought, etc.) I, for one, would be very disappointed to see him go.
