Thought he was born in 1993?

I was being sarcastic. Rom's age gets mentioned a bit around these parts.

Because he gave it away alot, shouldve buried the first effort too

Shocking comment we have to support are young players what do u want instead ?

What are you on about, supported him all season, and have said a few comments up hope he finds a good run of form

His pass % was 78 which was higher than Kone and Rom and 2 below Osman. However it is normally in the 90s and I fume at his passing because it's all negative back and sideways.

Today he was passing forward and longer. The through ball to Lennon was only narrowly cut out and that goes down negatively against his statistics however I would prefer that than keeping the ball aimlessly.

It wasn't all positive since even today at times I still think he could put a bit more effort to help out defensively. He was better however there where times illustrated by the one time when McCarthy was defending one on one and it took him an age to get over to help out. Luckily as their player cut inside McCarthy was able to take it off him but it was close and if McCarthy hadn't made it then he was through running at our back 4.

Ross had a good little cameo today and looked more confident than he has for most of the season.
This may have something to do with the boo boys not being on his back for a change.
Some "fans" will only be satisfied when they have hounded him out of the club.
You know what you are Steve Wigan.

Really pleased he slotted that at the end there. That's very much the sort of goal that a lack of confidence can make you fluff (see: Soldado, Torres) if you start second-guessing yourself.

Someone post how young he is to justify him stinking the place out for 8 months

I was very pleased that he managed to nick a goal for himself.

If he can regain that confidence and dynamism then it could be a big boost to our season.

along with many others in blue or yellow shirt!

a big 10 games from him would be nice to end the season thanks...

....yep, I've been critical but he came on and had a positive impact. Well taken goal, strange how certain players score against certain teams.

Memory of his goal last season putting him in a +ve frame of mind going into the game?

Those two + Besic and Stones, great spine of a side going forward
