He did. Him and Gravesson were a super partnership in midfield.

And as Graveson was a bit (a lot ) of a madman then Carsley got the best out of him.

Graveson ended up getting a move to Real Madrid after that. I remember at the time there was commentary that Real thought they were getting a hard tackling defensive midfielder and signed the wrong bald guy. Graveson was a nice player but he wasnt a defensive midfielder by a long stretch.

Id be delighted if Molumby becomes as good as even Lee Carsley never mind the other 2 mentioned. He has time and has shown glimpses that he is capable of it.

I remember reading an Irish football magazine when kinsella was at Colchester and he was been linked with a move to Barcelona(at least that's how i reember it!)

I like Jayson.
He's a tough little focker. He's tenacious, got great stamina, can play a pass. He's like a version of David Batty.
But he's been rash plenty of the time I've seen him. It can't be easy being top of the class, surrounded by 3 of your mates/countrymen, then having 13months of your career taken away and found you've been usurped.
He's 22 - and has been a sometime fixture in a squad that is looking upwardly mobile, while etching out a place for himself at a club that sees itself as being more than a Championship club (and has been in the recent past). He's not in the worst position in the world as others have alluded to,

Yeah he does have the look of a late bloomer, Definitely see him potentially being a top player but that potential may not be obvious until he’s 25-26, we’ve seen with the likes of Egan & Doherty that playing championship/ league 1 football in you’re early 20s doesn’t mean you’re chances of being a premiership footballer are doomed.

I’d worry a little that Molumby has regressed a little over the last year or two. When he came back from injury, he used to really drive forward with the ball. Kenny referred to it positively as chaos or unpredictability or something. There was a touch of young Jordan Henderson about it. When I’ve seen him play for West Brom and Ireland lately, he’s been inclined to sit and pass and hold, it’s like he’s trying to turn himself into a player he’s not. Hopefully he finds the balance because there’s a good player in there I think

John Egan was seriously hampered by that leg break. He was on the verge of a first team breakthrough with Sunderland when it happened and it knocked the sh!t out of him. Happening at that age, at that time, he'd no option but to drop down the leagues to start again. Egan's ceiling was always high, arguably he's stayed at the Blades too long - a problem lots of Irish players have - but that's a different discussion.

Molumby also has had a strange couple of seasons. He gathered blisters last season for the first half before Brighton eventually sent him to Preston on loan. This season WBA have had fairly volatile league form and a change in manager which must have brought a big change in approach. A bit of certainty will hopefully help with the confidence and he can knuckle down for next season. Worth noting that he hasn't earned many Irish caps of late and was liked by Kenny at the beginning. He'll know he has work to do for club and country.

**Trequartista20** · 05/05/2022, 3:43 PM

Move to WBA now official, reportedly on a 3-year contract.

Worth noting the positive season Jayson is having. He is improving every game he plays in according to the WBA forums, and has now re-established himself as a starter in the post-Bruce era. Many fans giving him MOTM today in 2-0 win. He could well push on and become an integral player for us in the coming months

**tetsujin1979** · 12/11/2022, 6:05 PM

Reached 50 games for them recently

Yes, but needs to grasp the difference between relentless and reckless.

**JR89** · 13/11/2022, 11:15 AM

Good to see him back in and starting the last two games under the new manager. Hopefully he can keep his starting place now that the cabbage got the sack.

With Knight missing both Cullen and himself will need to be on form. Interesting to see who Kenny will select to play alongside them as the third midfielder.

**third policeman** · 13/11/2022, 7:45 PM

Almost certainly Brown or Hendrick in which case it won't be interesting. Hopefully Smallbone gets some minutes and of course Hodge might have been interesting.

**SkStu** · 13/11/2022, 8:42 PM

Hodge was at the FAI Cup Final today.

**ifk101** · 05/01/2023, 3:00 PM

Seems to be hitting form at the moment which is coinciding with West Brom moving up the table. Got this review for his performance against Reading

Molumby 9*
Magnificent. As strong a hand as Lumley produced to deny him, he really should have put Albion in front when bursting into the box to meet Swift's lay-off. Outstanding battling qualities displayed to win the ball before he then fired in an excellent cross from the right for Dike's goal.
