Discipline in the face of adversity as usualIt’s just so “us” that having been short of a right back for 18 months we sign one just when the first choice is almost fit again.
Bad night’s sleep?Decent first 18 minutes, but typical GPG over-reaction..............IMHO............
Before we all start getting carried away can I just remind posters on here of some of the comments that followed a certain Frank Onyeka's first game for us:
Potentially one of the greatest signings we will ever make from what I’ve seen already....truly Super Frank
........this lad will be a big player for us this season.
Absolutely everywhere.
We are going to like Frank an awful awful lot.
What a player he is going to be.
Pure class
I could go on........
And lots of those by people who spent the last 2 seasons absolutely crucifying FO, and telling him to FO.........
As someone else said in another post after yesterday's game, things don't have to be either absolutely fantastic or, dog-sh*t. There are shades in between.
Let's not start putting pressure on this lad as if he's the second coming.
Just saying.
Long coach journey home last night!!!Bad night’s sleep?
Respectfully, I think you might be the one overreacting - I don’t think the comments on this thread are getting carried away at all. Lots of comments of ‘good debut’ / ‘lots to like’ which is…true. What else should we talk about on a forum?Decent first 18 minutes, but typical GPG over-reaction..............IMHO............

A slight touch of a Sam Sodje about him ?
Fair enough responseRespectfully, I think you might be the one overreacting - I don’t think the comments on this thread are getting carried away at all. Lots of comments of ‘good debut’ / ‘lots to like’ which is…true. What else should we talk about on a forum?
Aside from one comment about displacing Hickey I’d say most people are just saying what they saw - which was a promising cameo. Not ‘heaping pressure’…the second coming’.
Also, bit more fun to get excited by finally having a new FB option, after years of discussion of not having any, isn’t it? That’s all people are doing - or should we all respond with ‘do it for fifteen games son, then I’ll comment’
I knew that performance had reminded me of someone! Thanks for the reminderDecent first 18 minutes, but typical GPG over-reaction..............IMHO............

?Fair enough response
But we have already had:
This boy has something about him
he runs funny
That was a great start
Brilliant cameo
Looks like a significant upgrade
Wow!!!
Bit of Kante about him
Excellent debut. Almost MOM
One of the best debuts anyone could want
Brilliant debut
Love the look of him already
Which I thought seemed very similar to what we got with FO.
And all based on 18 minutes on the pitch.....
But, as ever, and as you say, opinions and all that.......... So, all good.![]()

Agree, after watching the highlight, he was trying to cover two players. Collins reacted far too slowly and could and should have shut down Sarr.Very harsh, Sarr was Collins man and Valdimarsson should have shut his legs

Mine made the list thank you ??
Wish I could add both "love" and "laugh" emojisProbably the best player i've ever seen
Easy tiger..Probably the best player i've ever seen
Or Rico’s on the left…Definitely the highlight from today. Could result in Hickey being Norgaard's long term replacement in the middle...
No probs!!
Were you also one of the 21 (so far) that gave him MotM??!!![]()

When he dribbled accross the top of our box absolutely none of the Brentford players had any idea what was going on at all ?. 10 people thinking “WTF” as he wall passed it to Hakon and dribbled off to the left touch line.I'm calling it now:
He'll win motm five times a season
He'll make some absolute howlers four times a season
That throw will cause utter panic in the opposition box every game of the season
That first run I had images of a fan bolting across the pitch trying not to be caught using his arms as windmillsHe really does look like he’s chasing down the Road runner when he’s running
Yes exactly. He looked great on the pitch but a bit lost when they carved us up on the left side. A raw talent and defintley a work in progress.Quite a judgement to reach after 15 minutes of football where we got opened up a couple of times. Loved what I saw but let’s not get carried away!
I suspect Thomas may see more risk than reward in him currently but we’ll sort that out!
Damsgaard came from Sampdoria, we bought Norgaard from FiorentinaGreat debut - threw all his effort into it.
Has a great physical presence, and positive mental attitude - looks very proud to wear the Bees shirt.
Can see him becoming a crowd favourite!
Mind you he’s going to have to cover a lot of mileage in a match, if he has to take every throw in, whether it‘s on the right or left of the pitch! ?️?
Apart from Damsgaard, he made a very impressive cameo debut - interestingly both from ex-Fiorentina!
Earning himself a distinction in the BFC 'No Dickheads' examination.Did anyone else notice his wave to the crowd was partly a gesture asking them to calm down as they were chanting his name during the warm-up? I felt as though maybe he wants to temper expectations too.

Wasn't his fault that one. Had to rewatch the extended highlights to see what happened:Yes exactly. He looked great on the pitch but a bit lost when they carved us up on the left side. A raw talent and defintley a work in progress.

Kayode is fine and covering both the ball receiver and wide man about to overlap.
Unfortunately it's Collins that underestimates the pace and athleticism of Sarr who comes from about 20/30 yards behind him to beat him to the ball in the box.
Having said that, Valdimarrson should probably still save it, and its more of a keeping error than anything else in my book.
It’s just so “us” that having been short of a right back for 18 months we sign one just when the first choice is almost fit again.
I'm sure at the end of the match he said what happened to Charlie Goode he'd get on those throws ....Is Hickey back soon? I haven’t seen anything.
As for Mickey K, he is going to be loved. Sergi on steroids. I have seen plenty of debuts when the player has eased himself in but not many who wanted to take over everything
When he sprinted over to take the long throw I was half expecting him to head it in as well.
It’s a NO from me ………?Can we please resurrect the Jota chant (to the tune of Supertramp - The Logical Song)?
Michael Kayode he is so wonderful,
A miracle,.oh it's beautiful magical.
When he runs down the wing he's as fast as lightening, it's frightening, and he makes all the Bees sing.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Apologies in advance
I'm hearing maybeIt’s a NO from me ………?
… He’s gonna be the one that saves Mee,I'm hearing maybe
Turns out he already speaks decent English, bonus!
