Like a lot of players he's looked much-improved under Warnock, and he's good value for the relatively small fee we paid. Still a lot to work on though, he needs the right coaching.

[ACW]

Has a lot of qualities, and has potential, but needs to improve his technical ability a lot.

Its the legs we need for this last bit and he covers the ground.
Cardiff might be a proper grind...?

[Big Jim]

Think Kasumu is a fantastic player and epitomises that Terrier in the middle of the park.

His final ball needs some refinement, but I'm sure he'll improve that over time.

I think he's going to have a great career with Town.

Yes, but moving forward we need him to be able to pass to his team mates on a reasonably regular basis.

[softboy]

Bit harsh to be honest. Worked hard but they closed him down well which made him less effective but gave 100%

[themanfromatlantis]

He’s one of a decent crop of youngsters we have just now. I’ve mentioned it before, but keep these young lads together for the next season or two and the future could be bright.

The experience of a relegation campaign is more useful to players of that age than what Burnley have done.

David Kasumu was exceptional tonight, love his raw energy, well played sir - UTT.

An upgrade on Hoggy then?

When Hogg signed and kept giving the ball away a lot, many said he would improve in time.

Kasumu is a very similar player in that his work off the ball is excellent but is very limited when he has it. Like Hogg I don't think that will change much but he'll have a decent career in the Championship

Mould him into the next Hogg. But he would be a little quicker.

Hoggy's lasted 10 years here without that 😉😁

I agree. He gets the right amount of bookings to qualify to be the next Hogg, so he’s well on his way.

[kennyk2]

There is a player in there. One I'd like to keep. Poor decision making with a lunging tackle for the first goal... but this is what you get. Like others just a bit inconsistent at the moment.

[Baby Ate My Eight Ball]

He held the midfield together last night against tricky opponents. Rudoni clearly playing higher and Kasumu did lots of pressing and covering the back line. Missed the tackle for their goal but was otherwise class.

For all that his passing does need work it was a lovely run and pass to set Diarra up.

[3Pipe]

Credited with the assist for Koroma's goal too.

[digs]

Great attitude,a good old fashioned warrior type of player

[Captainslapper]

I like him.. his effort and workrate,,,,but I think hes a league 1 player.

Bit harsh maybe but just think he lacks the technical ability midfielders at this level should have.

Id liken him to Obrien, but at a level below...in that LOB is a championship player with great workrate and effort but maybe lacks that technical quality midfielders need for the PL.

Extremely harsh. He's probably our best central midfielder. With some good coaching he can be better than Hogg has been for us.

You think? It terms of tenacity perhaps. He works very hard and gets stuck in. Like that a lot about him.
Be nice but cant see him getting anywhere near Hoggs overall level though. As a footballer I think bottom end of championship is his limit.

Its frustrating because he keeps breaking through in excellent positions but just doesnt have the vision or ability to find the killer assist pass.

Great pass for Diarra last night that could well have been the winner. He’s 23 so has time on his side to develop the technical side of his game.

[overtonterrierspirit]

One thing I noticed about him last night was how disciplined he has become.
Holding back from making rash challenges etc.
I like him. Obviously his end product needs refining but I’d stick with him.

Was that him?
Too far away to see. It was a good pass to be fair. But he cocked up a couple which were easierI thought where we'd have been right in on goal.

[aksaiblue]

The boys got talent. breaks up play and is in the oppositions faces, his work rate is top notch and distribution will improve.

From 9 minutes

[Wingman]

Seems to have a bromance going on with Koroma too, which I think is good for the team’s bonding. You want players to get on and have that extra will to fight for each other.
