New contract or move away. He’s putting himself in a good position for either.

Said before n say again he got abuse for a bad mistake v piggies. He was never that bad. When first came he was pinging 40/50 yard balls with quality till manager stopped him doing it. Proved that today. Given run in team will do him good. 
can see him being dropped tho when Dunkley fit. 
id have said Dunk would replace Lees. It he’s stepped it up

Van Aken’s performance against the piggies was abysmal and damaged the fans perception of him.  


The person who was at fault for that debacle was Carlos and it started the slow death for him.  IMO Carlos should have been guillotined on the Hillsborough pitch after that match for not taking it seriously and just seeing it as just another game.


he was poor on the run up to the pigs match, lets be honest...his debut was good but that was about it. His performance against that lot was the “final straw” he was quickly becoming a liability.

Guillotined !

Are you French ?

Dunkley needs to start a bench 

 

Van aken and Lees continue til loss of form 

 

No one should be guaranteed a starting spot 

 

Keep players on their toes 

 

100% this — also Dunkley has been out for a while so it might take some time for him to get up to speed

He's always been a class act


He can really pass a ball too

Agreed - was brilliant before the match we shall not mention. Think that ended a lot which was good at the club and from there things started to unravel. Real plus to have him back, fit and seemingly matured in a more composed way. Could potentially be a real selection headache if we have all CB's fit. Would like to see us hang onto him as we always seem to get an avalanche of injuries at once. Like having a decent free transfer signing as it stands.

He was outstanding and had his best game for us v Cardiff just before that disaster.

Maybe he’s just getting a fair crack at the job he was employed for. Thrown in a bit when he first arrived into a tough league.

Ok but....

Gave away two needless corners and sliced a volley inches over his own bar.

In amongst some decent defending. 

Luck went his way today which is great and hopefully he gets a bit more confidence.

He looks very comfortable on the ball, we all know it. Has the ability and the physical attributes to stretch for blocks and interceptions that others can’t make.

 

However, for me he does look like anything could happen when the ball is coming at him under a bit of pressure. Doesn’t seem composed enough to me yet. Always looks 60 seconds away from a costly error except when he’s got it under control, then he looks a player.

He was.  But Carlos should have eased him into Championship football.  The pace of the game is so much quicker than the Dutch league.  Carlos didn’t manage Van Aken well.  Just like Rhodes - when he signed he needed a run of 10 games but Carlos chopped and changed.
