Hilal Soudani
I would like to see him up front. Definitely looks a better finisher than the other new players (based on one shot! ?)

He certainly looked pumped up for it! Rallying the crowd as soon as he came on and boy did he take his goal well!

He reminds me of a young Jamie Ward. I hope he’s better.

He reminds me of Diego Costa - hope he's half as good! Love his attitude, but I bet he gets sent off at least once this season. I'd like him to start against Bury.

When he was going for a ball on Saturday his marker was dragging him so he stopped a second and just shoved him with two arms. I like his aggression and enthusiasm. He's physical

If I can be critical just for the purposes of debate, I didn't think he looked particularly impressive with the ball at his feet. But, we've only seen what, about 15 minutes of him so far (?), so a bit harsh to say that at this stage. He looked almost over eager to make an impression, that might be why. I cant wait for him to settle down, get some more game time and let him show us what he's about. Got to say though, his finish was excellent - he clearly know where the goal is.

Compare him to Grabban who is the opposite - he's shown that he's comfortable with ball to feet but so far has lacked a killer finish on the 2 or 3 chances he's had for us so far.

I'd play Soudani on Tuesday for 90 minutes, alongside Brereton.

I can see no reason whatever to play Brereton ahead of Soudani or Grabban. Both need match sharpness and the chance of goals against Bury. Brereton should not be ahead of either of those two come saturday.

I see where you're coming from but there's no way Grabban's going to play. Soudani, Murphy and Brereton all need game time.

I would like to see Brereton start tomorrow and I think he will, bring Murphy on for 20 minutes at the end.

Yeah in hindsight, another game for Grabban and then on saturday might be too much. Soudani hasnt had much game time though so Id still go for Soudani to be replaced with Murphy after 60 mins.

Im still not seeing Brereton getting ahead of Grabban, Soudani nor Murphy. Would love to see him out on loan in League one where he could get a few goals and restore his confidense. It was shattered last season.

Yeah, Brereton has defiantly had a bit of a difficult time over the last 6-9 months after an excellent start to his career with us. It's a difficult one, he's not going to get any significant game time with us but if we let him go we're going to need replacement cover.

I can see us monitoring the loan market up until the end of the month, getting some cover in if someone becomes available and letting him out on loan. I'm guessing that was the plan last week, hence these stories of him going to Blackburn, but it was scuppered after the incoming striker didn't materialise.

I would like to see Soudani left out of the side tomorrow.

Keep him back and let him off his leash against Wigan.
