I am not sure I would even put him on the bench.
I often stick up for Stephens but he has been too casual at times tonight. He should be able to manage this game and yet all too often he has inadvertently put us into trouble. If you said to me a year ago that we are missing Vestergaard I would have laughed, but we really are.
Some of our youngsters have worked hard especially Watts (though he is looking tired now). |
Stephens is a liability far too casual sold Forster short 3 times
He thinks he is far better tha he is
Vestergaard can’t get back quick enough
God knows what team we play Saturday! | | | |

Very enjoyable watching the young players tonight. Looks like we have some real prospects. N'Lundulu looks good and Watts has potential? [Post edited 19 Jan 2021 21:54]

Yes one of our best players out there tonight |  |

Another clean sheet for Stephens tonight. Either he is the luckiest player in the world or you don’t know what you’re talking about | | | |

Well, we did the job in the end. The youngsters did not let us down but our decision making and passing in and around the oppositions box both Saturday and tonight was poor. Armstrong brought some much needed experience. Long was poor and Stephens was not great either. Liked the look of Watts and Chauke.
JWP what an engine. Thank God for him.
A win is a win as they say. | | | |

It wasn’t a clean sheet for Stephens, it was a clean sheet for the team. He is too casual. Valery played like he had been smoking dope before the match. |  | | |

He was poor tonight. Don’t understand Valery, he looks like he had the ability but looks like he can’t be arsed | |

Well to be fair Ingskneeslide I have not been that complimentary about Stephens tonight.
He hasn't let us down since he came back in the team and I respect his determination and willingness to step in and with him in the team we have had some clean sheets (I do not subscribe to the Stephens bashing and he has been a convenient scapegoat for other failings in the past) and most of our problems recently (in my view) has been at the other end, but Stephens did needlessly put Forster under pressure a few times tonight. But, he got away with it. I guess there is a thin line between good and poor errors of judgement! [Post edited 19 Jan 2021 22:06]

Job done. With the side we put out that was a real banana skin. TBH I don't think they ever looked like scoring.
JWP was immense. I don't know how the bloke keeps going with the same energy level match after match. | |

He put McCarthy under pressure for Leicester's first goal as well.
He needs to up his workrate and especially his concentration levels. | | | |

Obviously the youngsters did well but a word for the old pros who never let us down tonight:
Forster keeps his impressive record of clean sheets going although he really only had to make one outstanding save tonight.
I remember all the hype around Beckham at the height of his career and Ward-Prowse really deserves that too because he is every bit as good.
Bednarek had a 100% perfect game. He never put a foot wrong.
When Armstong came on he was quite majestic and looked a class above the Shrewsbury players.
OK, we've only beaten a League One team but with our injury-ravaged squad, it was a morale booster to win the game comfortably.

Stephens is a good squad player, he can come in and have a run of games, but he hasn't got the concentration to be a full on 30 or so games a season player.
He hasn't done much wrong since coming back in, but then agaianst leicester he let his man slip him for the first goal and was caught out for the second.
Tonight his passing was awful, its not that he is a bad player, but he doesn't have the application and concentration needed for 90 minutes week after week, I think that when he comes in adrenalin get him through, but you cant do that every week.
I have tried to give a reasonable appraisal here instead of just calling him cr*p, which he indeed isnt, as I say a good squad player | |

'Damned by faint praise'

Indeed. |
My honest appraisal of the player, he has been in the first team squad for four years now , so i think it is a a fair judgement, during all that time he has never put in a sustained period of games, he has played a little over half of the games he could have played .
It's not damming by faint praise its reality, a player that every squad needs, if we were to win the FA Cup and Stephens was to have one of his great games in the final, no one would be more pleased than me | |

Good game and I watched it knowing kids were playing.
They not 1st team yet , they did ok but no way up to speed.
Enjoyed it but soon as Adams and. Armstrong came on you could see how far away they are.
But they won't get better unless they play so good night I thought. Deffo some potential there just need to get street smart |  |

He can only get away with playing without concentrating for so long, it looks like Ralph’s man management isn’t working in him
As you say a squad player which is why the Salisu mess is even more galling
Let’s just hope we don’t suffer from unforced errors before Jannik returns | | | |

Yep no clue what’s happened to him
Two seasons back looked to have hell of a future now he keeps belting passes to no one and looking lost | | | |

I suppose we have to think it’s a Windsor half marathon, not a sprint | |
