We have signed him based on an excellent half a season in league one, which is concerning.

he’s probably played 2 games max in his natural position just shit squad balancing from our recruitment team meaning he’s constantly playing out of position

Lost the ball every time he had it and how many more chances is he going to put wide at the back post. Just not championship standard and Peterborough laughing all the way to the bank

Should have got kyprianou but instead wasted the money on a winger who’s awful

that has nothing to do with his sheer lack of touch, effort and pace. i am not having that of a professional footballer sorry.

If that was a Kevin Kyle or alike from back in the day, he would have been Crucified

Hopefully we will improve but I am not sure what his talents are.

Still looks short on confidence for me. He doesn’t look comfortable in the right. I think Robins just has to play him left or not at all. If that means he shares game time with Wright and doesn’t get a lot so be it.

A lot of it could well be down to a lack of confidence. I think we need to give him time. We are still only 9 games in.

Whatever happened to the 'abundance of confidence of youth'?

Early to judge but from what I've seen so far Div 1 looks his level. Hope I'm wrong.

He’s 25. In his prime really. And has had half a decent season at L1 level. He was never worth the money we paid.

That is it though. Nothing since.
His first touch is poor and his movement off the ball often kills out attacks with the poor runs that he makes.
Really want him to do well, but looks way off at the minute.

People keep banging on about his ‘natural position’ but if he’s a right footed winger who is apparently incapable of playing on the right then how the fuck has he made it to the standard of professional football?

He’s not been very good but it’s also fair to say the current setup isn’t giving him the best chance to be a success

He played on the left for Peterborough and was fantastic. So far, think he’s played there once. Give him a chance.

Should of signed Harrison Burrows who he had a great partnership with at Peterborough, we were offered the chance but our great scouting network said no ...

Watched posh a lot last year and he looked class so think there is a player in there.

Would like to see him get a string of games in his preferred position but with Hadji first choice looks unlikely.

He looked great in pre season. People need to be patient.

Get him on the left and he will come good imo

Hes played on the left a few times now. His first touch and ball retention is awful. He just isnt good enough for the championship

There’s a player there, mad if you think there isn’t but it does wind me up that we very rarely have a player join us and hit the ground running. Fed up of players taking time to settle in.

He traps it harder than some of our players shoot. If we had paid 250k for him I would have thought it was probably too much no wonder the Peterborough chairman speaks so highly of King he has had his pants down.

I don’t rate him at all - no end product.
Maybe he will come good but I think we’ve had our pants pulled down here.

He doesn’t have any start or middle either it’s like playing with ten.

I said it after Tuesday, and he was worse for it today - he plays so unbelievably narrow. Him and BTA could have shared a shirt at times. I cannot believe it is a tactical instruction as it causes us multiple problems both in and out of possession.

Presumably any hope of making last year’s playoffs and getting promotion had been given up by the January transfer window when he was signed. Sure as hell isn’t a prem. quality player - debatable if he is championship level so far.

How difficult is it to tell him to stay out wide when the ball is in our right, and to bollock him when he doesn’t do it.
