Is he really that quick? I suspect he was quicker before his muscle strains last season.

Thought the same myself, seems to have lost a yard of pace. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Pleased he got his first goal for us.

I think he's carrying an injury - had heavy strapping on his thigh a couple of games ago (assume it's still there).

I think the lad is shy and lacks confidence. He needs some good mates at Rovers who can encourage him. He may come good. He should stay off any social media.

Pleased for him today, no arrogance in the celebration, looked almost embarrassed. 

I've just watched it back a few times. I'd say it wasn't a happy celebration at all, in fact I suspect he is a little pissed off if he has felt the need to shut down his Instagram and is now reacting so minimally to scoring. He also started to run to celebrate then suddenly slowed it down which I thought was odd.

Has Kragbo been getting grief?

If he did, he deserved it. 

Jesus christ the amount of money they earn a bit of criticism shouldn't be an issue. Obviously there's a line and racism etc is a different thing entirely but he was abysmal the other night.

[Torgeir]

As long as he takes his frustrations out on the pitch and deliver the goods I don't mind. Didn't contribute too much other than scoring and having a couple of good chances, but that's still an improvement from earlier games this season.

Pleased for him to put midweek behind him, although shame he didn’t convert one of the other chances. Best thing today was he kept getting in the box and central, something which the two wide players in the first half rarely did.

That's how i saw it and i was expecting the finger to the lips or the cupped ear.

He definitely had a F You look on his face.

Think the problem may be he was a bit of a cult hero where he came from and is a proud international player used to a bit of worship from the stands.

They really should be very thoroughly briefed before they come to places like this that the only way to get fans on your side is hard graft and commitment to the team. They should also all be told to turn off replies on social media.

The Championship and especially Blackburn Rovers is no place for fragile ego's.

A modern professional football player needs to be able to handle criticism on & off the pitch, online & offline. Glad the lad got his 1st goal of the campaign, hopefully he builds on it, add to his tally & proves his critics wrong. Tbh I am yet to be convinced that he'll be able to perform consistently.

I think if you are being criticised for your performance then youve got more of a justification to give a bit back.

If you were criticised for a lack of effort and desire then you havent really got a leg to stand on.

[davulsukur]

Through all the years I've played football, it doesn't bother me if people aren't that good but a lack of effort is completely unacceptable.

When you're talking about professionals who get paid £10k per week, effort is the bare minimum required.

He was rightly called out for his lack of effort.

Post match interview sounds positive.  Manager said he hasn't worked hard enough and so he came out to prove he can

And he's admitted and opened up to it...Good interview and what fans want to hear...He's clearly a confidence player, that sitter against Norwich must of knocked him.
