We must tie Mo down for two or three years. This should be done before his profile gets too well known. Preferably before West Ham. Last thing we want is a highlights reel of Mo scoring and being unplayable vs West Ham and poachers coming in for him during January.

True. You would like to think they ahd seen enough to vindicate their original decision and add a year or two on now. They must have seen something in him and he can live in L2 it seems

Depends upon terms of current deal, is there a clause or an option of a second year? He's also under 24 which counts in our favour. Definitely a rough diamond who could develop into a player at a higher level.

If Mo stays fit we go up.

He and a couple others need to stay fit. By all accounts he got a rough time today. Just like a certain Mr Best used to every week

Did we pay a fee for Mo?

Yup. Crawley brutes targeted Mo. Clear their intention was to try and force him off through injury.

You expect to take a few knocks, but he was targeted throughout. Not helped by the third s#!t Ref in 3 games.

How Eisa and Wright didn't win 30 free kicks between them today and both CB's sent off, I don't know. No matter what Wright does he gets penalised, yet he gets arms in his face and wrapped round him constantly and never, ever gets a decision.

I agree though, if Eisa keeps on like this and we get him on a longer contract he'll be off to the Championship for £2m in January...

Certainly a real prospect now and for the future. An extension to his contract ought to be on the table asap. Harshly targeted yesterday and as I've stated elsewhere a weak, indecisive ref didn't help and was culpable in adding to Mo's woes. Eisa [or Mo] will get better as he adjusts to the league games, and hope he will look up occasionally to see if there are better options. Very sorry to hear Sellars hamstring injury will keep him out for a few weeks; though he was the outstanding player until he was subbed.

Yes, we have to get him on an extended contract now, ideally before the West Ham game, if he goes and gets a couple of goals against the Hammers he will be known to the world!

Also notice he has become a favourtie of Colin Murray on the Channel 5 Highlights Show.
