    Think he’s been our best signing so far. Scores goals and puts himself about.
    Same, been fantastic so far.

    Just met his dad, who is a postie in Norwich and was dropping off a package at my place. I fed back that consensus was that he and Apter had made good starts. Afterwards, I wished I'd asked if the transfer was happening regardless of promotion.

    He'll be at the Boxing Day game up here. 

    Wonder if Nathan will let him have Xmas in Norfolk and join the boys on match day morning, or is it bad form if the team don't travel together on the morning of a match.
    is your postie ginger and in his early 50's and you just thought you'd ask on the off chance?
    My other regular postie knows I'm Charlton as he delivered my trust-sent Bobby Moore Suite tickets for Wembley in 2018 when it was touch and go that they would arrive so I....err.... celebrated the delivery of the mail with much enthusiasm that day...

    Since then, we generally briefly chat football when I see him and so he introduced  the fact that Sonny's dad was driving the van....

    It says something that we pursued Knibbs pretty heavily and apparently for quite some time... and now he can't even get into the 1st 11.

    Quite apart from his ability, his attitude and energy are absolutely astounding.
    The value of competition for places. Carey got the first chance due to having a proper pre season and has played like a man who knows he has to perform to keep his place. Mental that Blackpool fans didn’t seem too bothered to he losing him as he’s been excellent. I agree he’s been the pick of the new boys so far, and that’s not because any of them have been especially poor either.

    Carey and Jones my 2 favourite players, but really the whole team is full of energy, quality, physicality, character and likeable players.

    Testament to how well he's playing in keeping big money signing Knibbs out the team. He has everything a Nathan Jones player has to have.

    What a pleasant surprise and under the radar style signing. 

    It seems we have very much acquired the in form Carey who was instrumental in Blackpools late season surge, look where they are now without him and Apter. A true cherry picking job there. 

    The least exciting sounding transfer is starting to look undroppable.

    I don’t know if the comparison has been made before, but he really reminds me of Ross Barkley (in his Everton days) in the way he plays. So strong on the ball, forward thinking And hard working. What a summer of recruitment we’ve had.

    Described as “one of the standout midfielders in the Championship so far this season” on the Second Tier podcast this week.

    Whats very promising is he played that well without Apter on the pitch. So much of his best play in the first 5 games was linking up with Apter and then if he got taken off Sonny looked a little quieter. Now he’s busy all the time and producing moments of quality. 

    I still can’t get over that lung busting run and challenge to break up the Blackburn counter, it was class

    When he got the ball I was thinking don't shoot from there, but what do I know.

    Only other instance was when Johnny Robinson spanked one in from about 40 yards against Huddersfield.

    Tbf I would’ve voted Gillespie. But shows what a good all round performance it was from everyone that players in defence, midfield and attack could stake a claim at being MoM

    Got his own song too now, inherited from another goal scoring midfielder.

    It's such a good strike, as others said, a proper ping

    Almost as good as the last midfield ginge we had - At least Carey isn't  constantly on the floor having a whinge.

    Both players of the month have been the ex Blackpool lads, which isn't something I would have predicted.

    Because it was more likely to be two ex Luton lads?
