I share this opinion. Decent squad player, that I think we can trust and rely on when we need to. Steady Eddie with a great attitude and work ethic - we need some of those.

I'll be horrified if BdcR starts regularly. Seems a nice lad and honest and deserved his applause....but we need more than just good attitude and work ethic

 

In fact in terms of attitude, work rate and ability I'd rate Mavididi (light years ahead) Ricky and on his last 10 mins last night, McAteer all ahead of him on all counts

Agree entirely. And yet if the rumours are true, Cooper is intent on adding Ayew to the squad, who, like BdcR, is all about work rate and attiude, as opposed to flair and creativity. 

[ChrisFilter]

I think Cooper's post-match comments about games being decided on squads, not starting 11s, might explain why we're adding journeymen forwards who can progress with the ball to the team. Having players like BDCR and Ayew to bring on for the last 15-20 can offer outlets when under pressure.

[Collymore]

Can we leave him down in Fulham please? Absolutely atrocious. 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

He's bang average and that's being kind, total waste of a signing.

[niyaminski]

Gerrim out

[Patrick]

In both appearances he's looked like an U21 being given his debut rather than a 31 year old experienced PL player.

[KFS]

Garbage 

[Iwebema]

He works hard, but he is a winger in an already very defensively minded team, he simply has to offer more going forward, hold the ball up, bring the team up the field.

 

Maybe he didn't fancy it against his old club, but he was really poor. I'm surprised he lasted 60 minutes, at least cooper did acknowledge he was having a shocker.

[Paninistickers]

He is EXACTLY what I expected. A nothing player. No pace no strength, lightweight, .no height t, the odd nice touch but generally bundled off the ball with ease.

 

A nothing player. Every 11 spots is so vital to a team in relegation trouble and we just gift one of those positions away.

Big mistake playing BDCR today. Allowed Fulham to really pressurise our left as they knew there was no real threat from an attacking perspective with him playing. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Just like Rodgers signed the hopeless Bertrand and now Cooper's going to start BDCR every match

[STUHILL]

I think along with Ayew, they should be used as supplements to our starting 11, not be in it. 

Mavididi offers more. I hope that Cooper will make that change for the next game.

Good summary of him that, a nothing player. Waste of a squad place and money.

[Paninistickers]

All those professional scouts. All those stats and video analysis. All those people who dedicate their professional and large part of their personal lives to studying football .....yet they couldn't predict watch your average mug punter can see. 

 

This guy is harmless. An absolute waste of time.

Don't care where they came from. He offered nothing.

Moden day Neil Danns. 

[Vacamion]

 

At least Cooper recognised a change was needed and BDCR was first off.

Agreed 

although my stream wasn’t good enough for me to see how much defensive work he got through 

[mowmacrefox]

He's played 2 games ffs get a grip

[honeybradger]

For the fans trying to rationalise Bobby Reid starting because of his defensive work, BDR is yet to make a single tackle or interception for us. He was a free signing and yet he was still to expensive.

Exactly. Quite a few on here try and justify their existence by gaslighting us the BdcR is doing stuff that the great unwashed can't see. 

 

Pathetic individuals. 

[nathan lavery]

Incredibly underwhelming player to watch. 

 

I mean he runs around but i’ve never seen him make a tackle and I swear he loses every 50/50 he’s in. Surly have to start Stephy or even Ayew/Kasey lout there.

 

May seem a rash judgement, but I really don’t rate him at all.
