1. No issue with Stoke, good club
2. Would need time and beer to discuss. The Ricoh is in Coventry you know; just!
3. The jury is still out. Depends when you ask. He is a stubborn fucker though.
He will. Robins seems intent on collecting forwards with very little goal threat. Wait for it.... ''He's not the finished product''
But is he even the raw materials?
Yeah I suspect we'll slip up but it is a real chance for this team to make a statement... can they go away from home to a struggling team with all the pressure that form brings and do a professional job on them? If so, I'll start to believe.
So he is a young lad and has been poor since then, it probably just means he needs resting but I don't think it justifies claims he can't play at this level.
A few games ago he scored one and made one in a 2.1 win but apparently in the opinion of the collective fuckwit he is not good enough for L1? It really does seem that once a player has been singled out as the whipping boy he can do no right.
We'll have to agree to disagree that the 2 things are sides of a coin; performance can be enhanced in someone who is perfectly happy and has no history of poor mental health. But of course the 2 things are sometimes linked. Fully agree with the rest of your post though.
