I’ve actually missed this fella.

Be curious to see how he does under Moyes, he thrived relatively under Dyche and we know that connection, but he was horrific under Lampard before that.

How long does it usually take players to go from light training to being in the match day squad? 2/3 weeks?

6 months under the previous manager.
I'd say he be in around the squad for the Forest game

Thankfully Moyes isn't as cautious / procrastinating regarding bringing players back into the squad it seems as the last fella

Can’t see where he fits in to be honest

Myko’s been basically playing LWB in the last few games. I reckon Moyes gives Dwight a go there for a few games this season

He's an improvement over both Harrison & Dacoure. So left midfield or just behind the striker. Saying that, Sir Steven Hawking is too, even after death.

I agree that both of those are crap but when Ndiaye comes back, Harrison is out anyway and I don’t think McNeil has the engine to do what Moyes asks of Douc in that position. Much rather give Alcaraz a go there myself.

McNeil chips in with the occasional goal and all, but his capacity to act as a creative playmaker is what makes him a real asset to this team. I've been missing him and the news that he's initiated light training is very encouraging.

I reckon when Ndiaye and McNeil are both fit they will play on the wings. Moyes doesn't seem to be overly keen on Harrison and Lindstrom. Not sure who plays left and who plays right but McNeil will play LW till Ndiaye is back
