Arise Tom Davies

[jim2007]

It's a big if, but IF, he stays fit he's the best midfielder in this league by a country mile.

Gustavo Hamer wants a word.

 

[Bladezz]

Davies was excellent today. Will be a very good player for us IF!!!!!!!! He can stay fit.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Gustavo Hamer wants a word.

Hmmmm....

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

glides with the ball at his feet

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Said that to my mates, seems to have more time on the ball.

That’s because his ball control is so tight.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Could be in line for a start satdeh

Injured for a long time, will be eased back gradually.

 

[Nick Jansky]

He's shit.

He is shit, injury prone and on stupid wages I imagine and should not be with us in the Championship on those kind of wages. Especially when Brooks, Arblaster and Hamer will play ahead of him

Because he's shite

He’s really shit

There’s far too much love for Tom on here at the moment. We need to balance it up a bit with a few words of wisdom from some of our resident experts, because they all know what they’re talking about.

 

[Vass Borbokis]

Premiership quality.

 

[metalblade]

Best 36mins I've seen from a sub in a long long time.

 

[SwissBlade]

That’s because his ball control is so tight.

It’s more than that, it’s awareness of what’s happening around him, his strength and calmness as well when under pressure.

 

[Gimli]

Mason Holgate says hi.

Ah, well that’s me told

I retract my earlier statement.

 

[Champagneblade]

Souza Davies and Hamer have got to be the best midfield trio in the league

Imagine if we end up with Souza, Davies, Hamer, Raj-Sayki, Brereton-Diaz as the midfield 5.

That would be frightening.

I thought Davies was excellent. Really intelligent player. So much time on the ball.

 

[SwissBlade]

Best 36mins I've seen from a sub in a long long time.

I’d have worried about Souza coming off killing our shape if Davies hadn’t played a couple of cameos before tonight… but he just looked assured and brought a calmness. The professionalism we needed to close out a very tough game.

 

[Bladesman]

Oozes football intelligence and PL quality this lad. He reads the game very well.

 

[s20Blade]

Im always hasten to use the phrase ‘best in the league’ I think every club loves to throw it around just because they watch their version every week.

However its certainly in the conversation.

No doubt Leeds fans will have an alternate view!

Yes hard to argue with them tbh with how well James and the 3m bargain of the season are playing.

 

[Pedro Verde]

I was fearing the worst when Souza went off
Thought Davies was excellent he gave us a lot more going forward than Souza

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Id give him a run at no10 if he isn't gonna play centre-mid instead of Ohare

He should be playing now he is fit Peck has been great but he isn't Davies

 

[Loco Blade]

I stayed late in Oxford game to see him come on after horrible time for him . Absolutely made up he scored against Sunderland. When he cam on tonight his vision , touch and tenacity was like the good days at Everton . This bloke could make the difference this season . Confidence oozes out of him

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

The lad is 26 years old by the way. Plenty more to come from the boy.

 

[JohnDenver]

What impresses me is the quickness of his feet and his lithe movement. There was every reason to worry that might have gone forever after successive injuries.

Please stay fit, Tom. It could be great viewing.

 

[Thrice]

His work rate is commendable. For a player who spent his entire career in the Premier League going down to the Championship probably wasn't easy to swallow. If he can rediscover the player he once was we're in for a ride.

 

[Stretch]

There won't be many more combative midfield scraps this season, than what we saw tonight, and as others have said, he made it look so easy at times.

I can only imagine what he might do in a home game, against one of the poorer teams in the league? I think we could see him start him on Saturday, as both Souza and Peck could probably do with a rest.

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

What do we think about comparing Davies and Arblaster. Lot of calls on here that Arblaster is a future England international but then you look at a player like TD, who basically couldn’t get in a struggling Everton team and was miles away from being an international, put in a performance like yesterday and you realise how much Arblaster has to develop before he is ready for a top half premier league club.
Time and potential are on his side though.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can only echo other comments really. A class performance that had it all really. Hope he can stay fit as you’d expect he’d only get better once he gets back into the swing of some proper match sharpness.

 

[Slim Man]

He looked fantastic last night

 

[Snake]

I think Wilder has done brilliantly with him. He's a class act and it's important to protect him so that he and we can see the best of him medium to longer term. 15 min cameo roles here and there will build up his strength and match fitness to (hopefully) a point when he can get back to something like his physical best.

As we have seen, he's got enough ability to still affect games in that short period of time. Keep building yourself up Tom and get stronger and stronger - you are a baller !

 

[Eric_Brooks]

There’s far too much love for Tom on here at the moment. We need to balance it up a bit with a few words of wisdom from some of our resident experts, because they all know what they’re talking about.

I take it back, sold me after a good couple of cameos. Doesn’t take much for me

 

[Eric_Brooks]

I am trying to work out whether he has reinvented himself as a different type of midfielder than what we saw at Everton, or whether the run in straight lines Everton way didn’t suit him.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Rubbish, Leeds have the best three...........allegedly.

 

[Iceybabey]

Injured for a long time, will be eased back gradually.

Think injuries have forced the matter.
