I thought we would miss him badly but 6 league games in, 2 conceded and 4 clean sheets. Ajayi has been very good in each match.
Not saying we’re better because he’s gone but we do look better defensively this season.

I wonder Matt, if having a more solid looking midfield in front is helping in the overall picture. I'm glad for Ajayi.

I think you’re right but until today it’s been Mowatt and Molumby in the middle, so no different. The system looks a lot better but also the defence seem more assured. Heggem is making a big difference.

I guess I’m on my own but I didn’t rate Kipre.
We haven’t remotely missed him.

Yes plus an improved Furlong. I do feel Racic will be a super asset as it’s his movement for me. Take that assist today!

No I didn't rate him defensively either it's noticeable we are playing 20 yards further up the pitch this season and although I don't rate Ajayi either we certainly haven't missed Kipre.

Both Ajayi and Bartley are accidents waiting to happen, but credit due to both of them, so far they’ve been good

I always thought that Kipre was very good at one thing. Being solid at the back. Never gave us anything near what Furlong has though. Furlong is good at the front back and middle. I liked Kipre but often over hyped.
