I think bringing him in slowly isn't a terrible idea as he gets to match fitness.Very unlucky to be left out of the starting 11 but showed his class when he came on
I think we've got a real player there , he's getting better and betterI think bringing him in slowly isn't a terrible idea as he gets to match fitness.
I couldn't agree more. I thought he has been great most the time he's played. Build up some fitness and he could be a hell of a player.I think we've got a real player there , he's getting better and better
Loved the aggression but beyond a couple of crowd-pleasing tackles, I’m not sure he had much impact on the game, certainly not going forward. For what we’re paying him we need more of a return - maybe it’ll come when he plays alongside O’Hare, who knows.
Couple of big tackles early on. Has a good physical presence. Getting there.
Do you think it's still fitness that's seeing him on the bench? I really like what i've seen from him so far but have started to presume that Robins is keeping him out for tactical reasons, maybe feels Allen/Eccles are more disciplined when he needs a defensive performance? It can't be his commitment anyway, he's definitely willing to get involved!I think bringing him in slowly isn't a terrible idea as he gets to match fitness.
Yeah. I thought that chance was begging for him to fake the shot/drop the shoulder/do a bit of his usual trickery to send keeper and defender the wrong way.When he signed one thi gI wasn't expecting from him was the crunching tackles! Great to see, froze a bit when he had that chance near the end but good cameo apart from that.

To be fair I'm making an assumption it's fitness. I wouldn't have thought if it was more about discipline he would have bought him on when trying to protect a lead?Do you think it's still fitness that's seeing him on the bench?

I am struggling to work it out too. You'd think he was pretty fit by now and doesn't give the impression during games where he starts that's he's seriously struggling. It does concern me a bit that a player we've apparently invested heavily in (wage-wise) doesn't currently seem to be integral but as the season wears on we'll see if it's a temporary thing while he gets up to speed or not. I like what i've seen from him too which does deepen the mystery a bit.To be fair I'm making an assumption it's fitness.

I think today was always going to be a hard game. I'd also not change a winning side. Did well when he came on again.I could just copy and paste the opening post
The guy is terrific but maybe MR sees him as a last half hour impact sub
This will be an unpopular opinion going by the ratings thread tonight but….I don’t see what he’s offering this team.
Having an AM who’s apparently prepared to come off the bench and throw himself around into diving tackles is fun, but I’m yet to see him take control of a game or even open things up much for us.
