Wycombe Royal More consistent than Seol (so far), better in every department than Rougier, and unlike Gilksey Kebe can occasionally cross the ball into the box rather than just the stand behind the goal.
Goals are the only thing missing at the moment.

I don't want to have a pop at Kebe on this thread, but what are you on Wycombe?
How can you say that Kebe is better than Rougier in every department? Rougier was infinately stronger, far superior in the air, better holding the ball up, probably a better crosser of the ball and his general technique was better too.
Kebe has much quicker and much more direct than Rougier was, and has probably contributed more in terms of scaring defenders and setting up goals this season than Rougier looked like doing, but he is nowhere near better in all departments.
I'm not sure I'd say he is more consistent than Soel either. Certainly not at this stage of their Reading careers as it was only later in the season where Soel started to be inconsistent, and Kebe has already looked a bit ropey in a few of the 10 or so games he's played.
I wouldn't say there's a lot of difference between Gilkes and Kebe's success rate on getting the ball into the box either!
