Get him subbed sooner rather than later, no need to risk him getting a red and a ban

This as I was saying throughout November that we were in a relegation battle. I’m happy that situation is not the case today.

Also sorry for criticising RW’s style of play.

I seriously cannot understand how Donley has transformed from hopeless to somebody who might have a genuine shot at making the Spurs first team squad in the near future. What on earth have Richie and the coaching team said to the boy? It’s utterly remarkable.

RW said in an interview words to the effect that he "put it on him and questioned him" which sounds like he got a kick up the backside he needed to get stuck into men's football. Massive change in his game and attitude from the early appearances.

Perfect example of why we make teams look average. Watch out press spring, they boot the ball, we win it back, donley makes a run and one pass we are in. Superb

Don’t fancy my 4-1 prediction much, this could be 6 or 7
Shocking defending by Exeter, but we have been clinical

He said the Dublin trip he went away a boy & came back a Man. Whatever happens, we need all our Christmas parties in Dublin from now on

Guess he was just a kid getting up to speed with pro football. I didn't see it coming at all but shows why you have to be patient with young loanees. His passing range is ridiculous and the two new guys are giving runs behind the back line for him to pick out..
