Isaac Hayden: on loan at QPR

Everything you want in a defensive midfielder bar experience. Can only see him getting better.

Didn't even seem to be DCM yesterday. Him and shelvey seemed happy enough to drive forward. Much prefer that than the two of them sitting too far back. It seemed more like a 4-4-1-1 with Diane while not having a great 90mins had by far his best game for us.

From watching the highlights, it was clear Hayden was getting forward a lot more than what I've seen previously.

Last time he done it like that was Reading as far as I can remember.

The most complete midfield pairing I've ever seen in English football was Vieira and Petite. Not like you need to be told about it but they could both do everything, either going forward or back. Love seeing an athletic central midfielder who can play a bit.

Lee and Speed in our case. The only thing lacking from our two yesterday was looking to get on the end of something, we also looked to play more in and around as opposed to Sheleveys recent 40yd diagonals that look better they really turn out to be.

Living up to the 'new James Perch' tag I give him pre season.

 

Had a poor game v Blackburn but he wasn't alone and he's kicked on since.

He's far more talented than James Perch you numpty.

What a ridiculous self-congratulatory comment.

James perch ffs.

Nee perchinho iirc

It appears nobody sensed it wasn't a genuine comparison and more toungue- in-cheek.

 

I thought it as canny obvious like.

Trying to work out which is more damning with faint praise. Hayden with Perch or Santon with Phil Neville. Still probably Santon with Phil Neville like. So bad that it washed Ian W in immediate salvation.

Not sure he knows what it means to wear the shirt as much as Colback does yet though.

Aye. Maybe next season he can go missing in a derby game.

'Go missing' is a very kind way of saying 'play absolutely shit and give away countless fouls in dangerous positions'. (referring to the home game anyways)

What a signing this lad has been so far. Excellent work for the goal.

Hes really stepped up his game recently mind, even in the losing run he was a standout, really starting to think he can make the step up to PL level.

 

Has been everywhere tonight.

Him and Shelvey can't play together. Crying out for Colback to come back and rescue us

Love to see a defensive midfielder who can stop a run with a tackle rather than pulling his man down.
