Yeah Defo Gordon as ben player of the season so far. Absolutely class throughout. Always 100% effort, guile and quality. Some great goals, finishes and assists. 90% of the time he's in the right place at the right time to assert pressure, cause mistakes or take advantage to be the genuine difference on the pitch.

Isak is a great finisher, absolutely quality. Brilliant movement, great on the ball, a top, top player. We need to get to a place where he is present in tip top condition for 25+ games a season.

Both will be missed. Wilson will need to plug the game, he's more than capable on his day, as you mention different style of player, more between the stick & running the channels than play from out to in from the wides.

In Barnes we have a genuine goal threat.

so 2 in, 2 out.
