Would still prefer to see him getting minutes over the likes of FO.
At least MD can use the ball.

I don’t know how much truth there was in the Sporting Lisbon rumours in August or September, but it would probably have been better for both parties if he had gone then.
The fact that he is only a bit-part player during the worst injury crisis we have had in 50 years says everything unfortunately.

Be fair he's been part of the injured for most of the crisis.

Wonder how many minutes Damsgaard will get tomorrow to help our injury hit squad. 5? 15?

He appears to be behind Norgaard, Jensen, Janelt, Onyeka, Dasilva, Baptiste, and Yarmoliuk in the pecking order. Two of them are out, and one may end up filling in at left back. So I am thinking 15.

So many people writing him off. If we get back to a full squad which can play on the front foot he will shine. He’s just not the man for the kind of attritional battles we have been forced into this season

Seems to be a square peg for a round hole. Would still rather we tried to him alongside Jensen and Janelt/Norgaard, especially with Bryan and Ivan back, but looks as though it's not going to happen for him here.
Mikkel Damsgaard
I believe the intention was to play a different way this season, injuries however have completely ensured it not possible. Damsgaard was one of those injuries too. A fully fit squad with all key players would have allowed us to be more possession based with Damsgaard being very much part of that.

Agree, at least he looks to play the ball forward when hes given a chance.
Mikkel Damsgaard
Why, I'm struggling to think of one match where he's made a difference! a lot of running around with little positive outcome.

Agree we shouldn't be writing him off. The main concern is that if he isn't getting game time now, in a depleted squad where rotation is sometimes needed, when will he? Definitely we should keep him for 'cameo' performances, but the point you make about attritional battles will always be pertinent to us, don't forget MJ has had to really work on his defensive game and the same will be required of MD.
Mikkel Damsgaard
He’s rarely started a game. So making a difference in short cameo role is not easy for anyone. My thought is that with more space to run into and with the ball, that United often give you he might be useful. Just an opinion
Mikkel Damsgaard
Couldn't disagree more, even as a sub, if you're any good you will make a difference, a good player would create their own space.
I do hope he comes good, I'm far more confident that Schade will excel

He won’t make it in the PL, however that defensive header he made in our six yard back was as good as anything he has done for us so I can’t fault him last night

I'm not writing a player off who openly admitted he struggled last season getting over his issues and then adapting. And then this season fallen ill to our injury curse.

It’s going to be really fun next season when MD and all the others written off on here come good.

Thought he was poor. He attempted to get stuck in and that cannot be ignored. However, he lost the ball three times and the ball was taken off him twice.
I hope he comes through next season.

Still think he could play some sort of a role with us. I hate to say it in the knowledge of his diagnosis, but when he first joined, though I was pleased, I joked that his photo made him look like a 15 year old kid. Meant no malice by it.
However, you need to have some body strength even as a playmaker. MJ has some, saw Ross Barkley in a game, he does. His summer homework is to being in the gym.

He did… but I thought he got stuck in once he’d settled into the pace of the game. A few really good forward and cross-field passes, too, so didn’t look out of place within the team and the tactics.
Mikkel Damsgaard
He was very poor when he came on. Many misplaced passes. Much more impressed by YY
Mikkel Damsgaard
His start was odd. Very much contrary to his image. He won the ball several times, then promptly gave it away. But got into the flow of the game when he stopped trying too hard and played his part.

Fek me.
Gave the ball a few times so what. He was fresh into the game that we were dominating and trying to play through the lines. He didnt hide and was fine for the rest of the game. Players need time to settle into a game.
Prefer to see him get minutes over the likes of FTT. Quite telling that in a game where we were pushing for the win he gets minutes.

Yeah his first few passes were awful and put us in danger, he looks so uncomfortable in movement sometimes, must be a real lack of confidence as clearly he has talent.

He is not good just kept passing to the opposition causing us problems.But he did make a fantastic defensive header so not all bad.
But we need better players in possession damsgaard and Onyeka always give the ball which immediately puts us under pressure.

Short memory syndrome. He was injured much of the season, played sparingly as he returned to fitness and then had several good games.

True about receiving the same criticism MJ did. Of course, the big different is MJ had time to improve coming up through the championship. It's not a coincidence that all of our best players (CN, Ivan, Rico, Ethan etc..) had time to excel in the Championship. Time that now we're in the Prem, MD is unlikely to get.
However, on the basis he's happy playing a bit part, he still has a role to play however small that role is.

Need to see that challenge Hjullond made on him in the lead up to their goal, was it a foul, or this the kind of instance when a ref sees him and thinks your too weak play on

Unfortunately, Damsgaard is another one of those players similar to Flekken? Where the haters are always going to hate no matter what. Should he have a good game they keep quiet, if he makes errors, out they come!

On my final warning
Mikkel Damsgaard
Plus he plays in an area of the pitch where he’s going to see the ball a lot. He's a good player but if Thomas had the ability of hindsight he never would have signed him.
Mikkel Damsgaard
Flekken had a shakyish start but for me has proved himself. Damsgaard has done nothing of the sort.
Mikkel Damsgaard
He's not done much of note though has he?
I thought we were weaker once he replaced Yarmoliuk.

I’ve not said he has .. the point I was trying to make was that if he does have a good game, there’s a set of fans who will not acknowledge it and wait for him to make errors so they can say I told you so (like Flekken) ??
