....we are always quick I guess (more so since sipping The PL chalice) to criticise players here. Ibe came with some pressure on his young shoulders and like others B Smith, Mepham, L Cook, Rico, Stacey, Brooks, and Solanke was a raw recruit and gamble with no top flight experience and along with the fact that AFCB is a smaller club than most of those we have recruited from it becomes a real test to stand up and be counted. Howe has a reputation for being a good coach to young players but this could be something that just hasn’t always been the case? From the list of new players that we have signed in his reign only half of them have probably truly worked for us....with Brooks,Callum, Fraser, Ramsdale at the top end and Ibe, B Smith, Rantie, Murray, and Defoe at the not so great end of the scale....
I have always really wanted Ibe to succeed as he was our first real PL marquee signing IF he could turn it around I would be amazed and happy!
