As we have now played over a third of the season and we have seen the majority of the new signings play a decent amount of games. I thought it would be interesting to rate the summer signings.
Who's impressed you and who's dissapointed.
Liam Obrian - 6 ....Hasn't really had a proper run apart from two howlers I think he's been really good other than the mistakes. Good in cup games. Very good shot stopper and good distributer. Step up from RCC.
Grimmer 7.5 - Good signing, gets up and down the pitch,all energy and is strong in tackle and decent in air good solid league 2 right back. Slightly suspect defensively and positionally.
R. Ma Donald 9 - Very consistent, strong and man mountain at the back. Decent distribution too. Best summer signing. Player of the season so far.
Tom Davies 8 - judging him on a few appearances only, been very impressed. Good young age, wins good headers and again a good dominant centre back no nonsense.
D Hyam 7- Filled in admirably when Willis was unavailable so again on first few appearances, definately one for the future and great back up.
Doyle 9 - What we been missing for years. Enough said.
Kelly 7 - Good signing, started off a bit slowly but has got better and better forged an excellent partnership and understanding with Doyle. Must improve his contribution with an assist and goal or two.
Vincenti 5 - For me he has had a disappointing first third maybe because my expectations of him were high and that I expect him to win everything in the air. He has had a lot games now and I remain unconvinced how he fits into this team. He's not suited out on the wing so it's not all his fault. Decent player there but I'm not sure we get the best out of him. Had a couple of very good games but has since dropped off the pace. Subsequently his place taken by Devon Kelly Evans, who's place has since has been taken by Shipley.
McNulty 5 - Tempted to rate him lower, but I feel because of a couple niggly injuries will give him the benefit of the doubt. Been hugely disappointed, he has missed some very good chances and you can see there is a good player there but his confidence seems to be lacking. Probably on a very decent wage so would be tempted to let him go in January so we can maybe buy a different striker.
Biamou 6- Mixed feelings about Biamou, first time he was thrown in you could see he was no way ready and out his depth. But the lad has improved considerably game on game, given us some much needed physicality this season up front. Obviously goal wise in the league yet to contribute, but in my eyes has made more contributions to the team compared to McNulty. He has still a lot of improving to do and is a raw talent.
Nazon 8.5 - Good loan signing, Has skill, pace and strength. Leading goal scorer. Can frustrate and can be greedy. Definitely compliments Jones and provides that X factor.
Apologies about my grammar.
Overall Summary of Mark Robbins recruitment in the Summer, 8/10. With the budget we have I feel that's excellent.
Really hoping for our definately first top 7 finish in years. Hopefully Automatic.
