Wanya Marcal-Madivadua

[baldeagle]

Good goal,  got better after goal  but we need better as others have said . Not writing him off just needs time as very inexperienced 

[funkyrobot]

I thought he had a bright first half capped off with a great goal. 2nd half he dropped off but tbf so did the rest of the team - Ramsey’s goal came at a bad time! I agree that like McAteer he is a bit reluctant to take his man on but I put that down to being a rookie desperate not to give the ball away in the 1st team. He really should’ve been given more opportunities by Rodgers last year but he didn’t ever put any trust in blooding creative players from the u23 squad. 

[Ric Flair]

He's an attacking midfielder IMO, not a winger but he's doing a decent job.

[Jon the Hat]

Congratulations to the young man on his first senior goal! That’ll do his confidence no end of good, and I hope we see more of him this season even once we’ve completed our transfer business.

[Chelmofox]

I'm a fan. He is a real handful and its his last third play thats been rusty. His goal gave him confidence and he started playing more balls in. Games will grow that confidence. There is a player in there.

I’d love to know whether he’s been told to cut inside every time he gets one on one with his defender 

...you wouldn't think so, as getting to the bye-line and cutting the ball back is a big part of our approach to the game!!!

...after scoring you expected him to come alive in his game, but there was not a visible change!!!

[lanefox]

He's not doing too bad saying these are his first professional games this season

 

Also what's his background because he has an English accent, is he related to Nani or was that Tavares

[ozvaldo]

Great goal and a big moment for him. 
Really important goal for us too. 
 

But I don’t think he’s at the level to be able to start. I don’t think I’ve seen him take a man on once yet. 
 

He, and our attacking play in general, needs to elevate.

By no means do I think he's the finished article, however we've been crying out for a wide attacking midfielder on the right hand side for an age, and he's probably the best we have at the club right now. Glad he's taking this opportunity by the conkers, and I hope we see more of him, and more of the youth we have at the club. Just shows that we could've had the answer at the club all along, just wasn't given the opportunity.

[gurru991]

It's a huge step up to start Championship games & I feel he is doing OK. It's great that Enzo is prepared to start him & I assume he thinks he can improve him.

It's a positive to see our manager giving academy players a shot.

Yes, agree with that. His rawness is to be expected and a bit of patience needed. Thought he had a good first half in particular. Vestergaard made a couple of good cross field passes that he failed to get to due to a lack of anticipation but he'll grow given chance. Far better to watch him out there than Perez!

Thought he looked alot more likely after his goal but the equaliser knocked the whole team.

[South Shire Fox]

For someone whos never played first team football he looks very comfortable at this level. Good first touch, dribbling. As soon as he starts aggressively taking his full back on he could be a very good player. Impressed with him, looks far more comfortable then McAteer does as a winger

He did. He was part of an excellent move which nearly made it 2-0

[lcfcell]

Like others have said he’s gone from playing u21 football straight to championship without any loans, I think he’ll be a very handy player to have in the squad and will surely only grow in confidence 

[Trev3939]

I agree that we need a RW, however, if we do not manage to sign one, I don't think it would be the end of the world. We have a footballer who looks like he could be great in the future with him only being 20 years old. Whilst he may not be perfect yet, if he keeps getting the minutes he will improve quickly. I like what I have seen 

[Bergen fox]

Loan him out to a league 1 team

Danny Ward

[Sly]

He’s done okay in all honesty. 
 

Good players don’t become that overnight. Messi hasn’t always been the best player in the world. 
 

He needs time and we’re in the Championship. If it’s going to cost us £10,000,000 to upgrade, then maybe the club has decided to improve our youth prospects.

 

….. unless we have a re-buy option on Sowah or Wright.

I would assume we are looking for better attacking options. 

[Ric Flair]

Get a decent incentive based contract on the table for him to sign please.

[MPH]

I remember saying a couple of games ago that if we could give him a run of games, he could really grow as a player.. we might not have that luxury, but that goal will do him the world of good..
