Looks decent, still building experience

Has the potential to be a really good player and doesn't look out of place in the champs.

Think he's a season or two of regular football away from being a regular starter in the Prem. Could see him being the type of player we sign on a permanent if we go up and he's played okay, but not spectacular for us.

Can see why farke is trying to play him and Rupp consistently together - they seem to be building an understanding, but at the moment, if one was going to be swapped out for form (for Tettey or Sorensen) it would be Skipp.

I don't think we need scapegoats in the current team - Plachetta is still raw, but his scary speed will always put doubt in an opponent's mind. Useful backup for onel and tires players before vrancic comes in.

Lots of players still settling in and learning each other's games (or, like Stiepy, rebuilding confidence).

It's been a steady start, which I'd have taken at the start of the season. We're looking like one of the stronger teams in a highly competitive division and have some exciting talent waiting in the wings (out on loan, or recovering from injury).

Future (the next few years at least) looks bright.
