Fofana

[Peabody]

After the initial, may I say hostile, reaction to Seco in his first two games, have attitudes changed following his good display verses Leeds?

[Fernhurst]

I was supportive before he came Mr P..... Kit likes the look of him and he is certainly energetic and talented enough for a mid table Championship club.
If we are seriously interested in making a bid to return to The Premiership then serious reinforcements must be considered.

I thought he looked very promising against Brighton anyway. No one was good against Watford.

So nope still think he's a good addition for the moment.

to soon to say, was good at brighton, not so against watford (who was?) and better V leeds.
We shall see what the next few games bring

[David Allen Crankshaw]

Hopeful that he will make a significant difference. Thought he played very well against Leeds. I'm expecting him to score against Sheffield Wednesday.

[JackyFulham90]

Looks a decent member of the squad. Hopefully the club look to keep him until the end if the season

[RaySmith]

If he stays with us I think he will be a very important player for us-loads of potential.

Has he earned a song yet? If so, i suggest Psycho killer by Talking Heads...

I liked him when he came on v. Brighton, agree that he didn't stand out from the general dross v. Watford and thought he had a great game v. Leeds.
I was a bit surprised at a little criticism of his first touch, so I watched the Leeds match again.
Funnily enough his first couple of touches were quite sublime, but later on did let a passed ball or two get too far in front of him (something which our amiable commentator made a rather big deal of).
In general, though, I maintain that he had a fine game. His probing runs and non-stop motor act as a great counterpart on the left for LVC's work on the right and he takes up very intelligent positions for such a young guy.
In watching him I was also reminded of the good work of LVC and Hyndman - three young guys with so much potential. Do they have to call Scott Parker 'Sir'?

He has given us better balance in the formation that we  are playing, providing us with strength energy and mobility with the legs to get up and down the pitch . Well done Kit !

[ToodlesMcToot]

He'll be fine and so will we. He's no saviour, nor is he some kind of hack.

I was never anti Fofana but I didn't think he did enough against Brighton to warrant a start Vs Watford.
So the jury's still out for me.

Yeah the start against Watford was strange as he didnt really dominate the brighton game. His first touch is very poor but he has energy and a decent shot.

Would prefer we recall Tunnicliffe and use him in this formation over Fofana

Yep, gave us a bit more impetus when he came on against Brighton, and didn't lose the ball anymore than anyone else, so any hostile reactions to his performance in that game would be very misplaced imho. His below par performance against Watford was also no worse than that of a number of players that night, and although i didn't see the Leeds game, it would seem he was an integral part of the win.

He seems really up for the Sheff Wed game (on the official), and I for one am (and always have been) happy to see him add energy in the middle.

I think I'm approaching the Hatter Don level of cynicism he occasionally levels at the blinkered, shifting sands in the eye, revisionist views of many of our posters.  I would encourage you all to re-read the Match day thread of the Leeds game.  As there did not seem to be any healthy online streams, the witnesses were lead by Gentle Jim.  The result was a wit-chunt of epic proportions against our dear Fofana.  Many were calling for his head like a sailor with an enraged prostrate.  They were furious  when Hugo was taken off instead of him. 
I held my peace....and waited for the match replay the following day.  He wasn't great.  He wasn't bad.  He had an ok game, he made some good passes, he took some good positions.  He made one or two mistakes.  He was involved.  He seems to provide more muscle and pace in midfield than does our collection of talented youngsters.  Gentle Jim wasn't that impressed, but wasn't that damning either.
Where are all those naysayers on this thread?

Can we all please just bear in mind that he has only played a grand total of 3 professional games and he is a 19 year old.

Like the rest of the squad, we're not going to know much until he adjusts to this new level.. That's about 20-30 games.

All things considered, he's done ok so far. Let's hope he can add more in the games to come.

Couldn't put it better myself, as witnessed by my softly softly approach.

Indeed, I was one of them. By the SOUND of it, he wasn't much good - come the replay Jim's criticism was harsh. I have retracted by impulsive and unfair criticism of Seko, and I rather enjoyed his performance. Hope he knocks in a goal against Sheffield for a confidence boost.
