Esse
- Thread starter Lionsteele
- Start date
The lad looks like he has filled out. Looked a proper player last night both attacking and defensive duties. His time will come and carry on playing like that last night it will be sooner rather than later… love the way he can turn on a sixpence leave his marker for dead….

Flemming hasn't got pace, but he makes up for it in football intelligence, strength, two good quick feet,an eye for the goal and rolls his sleeves up and gets stuck in.
We have a core group which should be built around and maybe Danny Mac might be the LB we are looking for or slot back into the RB position if Leonard decides to call it a day.
Esse, Mayor, Emakhu and a few of the youngsters could come in and do a job with the right training and guidance...Survive this season and it looks pretty rosy with a couple of purchases.

First game of the season being a prime example..
"Game completely changed when he came on." Not disagreeing with you mate and interested to understand what you saw that I didn't?So pleased for him! Game completely changed when he came on. Been crying out for someone to come in with an impact there & he fulfilled it.
I think with the right coaching he can really be the player most think he’s going to be!
If only Neil had the same opinion!

I can't see Leonard calling it a day. In the form of his life at present and will get offered another year I'm sure.
Praise for Esse, Leonard and Obafemi

'His best performance in a Millwall shirt for sure' - Neil Harris sings the praises of three Millwall players after win over Leicester - Southwark News
NEIL Harris praised Michael Obafemi for delivering "his best performance in a Millwall shirt" against Leicester City. The Lions won 1-0 against the league leaders after a belting strike by Ryan Longman in the second half. Michael Obafemi could have made it 2-0 a few minutes later but failed to…

It would be a sin if he didn't get offered a new contract, the experience he can pass on to the youngsters is invaluable, that premier winger last night is still trying to escape from Lennys pocket.

Maybe our luck is changing.
For someone so young and relatively inexperienced Esse has a very cool head on him, didn't seem to get flustered when he was under pressure with the ball.

I think people were expecting too much from him recently and yes, he does seem to have a cool head on him.
I think he has been handled in the right way by all the managers this season and not over exposed with too many games (because he is still leaning). Next season will be his breakthrough season to be a regular starter - Hopefully in the Championship with us.

As good a game as George was having, he wasn’t a threat to Leicester."Game completely changed when he came on." Not disagreeing with you mate and interested to understand what you saw that I didn't?
A 29 year old who’d played 55 minutes was suddenly replaced by an 18 year old who is full of tricks, pace and skill.
He has the ability to leave 3 players for dead with the drop of a shoulder and fast feet.
Suddenly all out attack had to be tempered with the knowledge that they could be hurt if they lost concentration.
In many ways Esse came of age last night.
The boy is gone, replaced by a young man with real flair and no respect for reputations.
I thought he was superb.
Danny at LB - not for me.
I prefer left-footed players on the left side.
Defensively he did well last night but several times we lost the ball because of his inability to pass accurately with his left, a couple of times presenting them with opportunities in and around the box.
Danny RB
LB 
Leonard and Bryan are both too injury prone to be relied upon in my opinion. I'd move them both on and free up some wages for something younger and hopefully fitter.

Except, every time Danny had played LB, the oppo right winger has been taken off and replaced after being in Danny's pocket all night. Last night, only once in the whole 97+ minutes did their man go past him. His positioning is pretty fantastic, he doesn't dive in, simply makes them turn and go back. If they do go to the byline, he stops the cross. He does that both at right and left back.Danny at LB - not for me.
