    Are we expecting him in the squad/team any time soon, or is he more likely to be a fringe player for this season?
    We were planning to sign him in Summer buts it’s been brought forward so I assume there’s some desire to have him in the squad 
    But not all the endless, tiresome comments on facebook  :(
    Just don't read them

    Will already be the April player of the month. 
    Why wouldn't he be. He's been player of the month every month since his arrival, including those he was out injured!

    Wonder how he fits in next year I know squad depth is a big thing but he’s not going to get in over Jones, I’d very surprised to see Ramsay dropped unless he’s sold, not sure how he gets into the XI. Can always move Ramsay to RWB but that could be seen as quite negative 
    I really think Ramsay is gone in the summer which is what he was brought in preparation for.

    We need to get past this idea of first choice and back up players. Its a tough league, lots of midweek league games. We need to be working towards a place where we have players who can step in without a drop off in quality. 

    In this instance having 3 players for 2 positions who are all competing means we can rest and rotate where needed as well as having injury cover. A 4th choice of someone like Burke is probably enough for those 2 roles. 

    Proper cover in all positions should help prevent an injury crisis and our mid season slump

    Agree, this league is too intense to have a first 11, otherwise when an injury happens we completely lose our edge, that's been the problem this season we've had no plan B.

    Definitely understand the concept of depth but based on what I’ve seen from Sichenje and Ramsay something off about one being on the bench and then you look and still have Docherty in the midfield

    Whoever scouted this man give him the keys for every future transfer window

    Very very good player. Could be very important for us. What a great signing so far.

    Needs to start every game between now and the end of the season.

    Presume Ramsay wasnt risked as we need him to replace Clarke v Ipswich.

    So I would go with a 3 of Sichenje, Jones and Bell v Ipswich either way. Because if Ramsay is fit, I would play him at RWB.

    Such a shame him getting that hamstring injury he could've been the difference to turning around all these leads we've thrown away last few months.

    Yep, Reece Burke the gift that keeps giving!

    His line-breaking passes put our midfielders to shame.

    Phil Chapple 👏🏾

    I was at the training ground for the sponsors’ lunch and Mr W asked about scouting Collins. Chapple told the story that the data had led them to look at a centre half for a Serbian side.  When watching the videos their attention ended up elsewhere “Who’s the other centre half?” Answer, Collins.

    Better passing ability than our midfielders. I think he’ll be great next season.

    I'd play him Wednesday against Ipswich if Ramsay is out.... Can't risk Burke.

    Only one who tried to play some positive passes today. He should be starting.

    Confident he will become a favourite for us. Considering he has moved countries etc he has stepped up remarkably imo he plays balls through the lines and to feet which always takes me by surprise as not used to seeing it. I’m hoping NJ doesn’t spend the off season coaching him to hit it high and aimlessly forward

    Amazed he hasn't been starting. About the only player we've got with a bit of composure and vision.
    WTF does Jones watch in training,????

    He’s been injured! 
    Having composure and vision won't help though.

    He would have been starting if fit. Only juat back from hamstring and not sully fit which is why he didn't start

    I like him and can see him becoming a bit of a cult hero but I've not seen anything yet to justify the level of praise he's getting on this thread atm

    only player who actually looks to play through the lines and a risk taking playstyle for starters

    Bit of a headless chicken and his positioning may be an issue but it probably takes the bare minimum to get into this current midfield

    Maybe we could put the guy in midfield who's done well for most of the season before Jones decided to blame him for a couple of goals and replace him with a bloke who cannot physically run
