Looks like he has started living up to the hype while out on loan.
Coventry City midfielder Kevin Thornton has made an immediate impact on loan at Brighton, impressing in their 2-2 draw with Northampton at the weekend.
"You saw it in two little glimpses,' Micky Adams told The Argus.
"He hits the bar from a free-kick and then sets up the goal with a break from midfield where he ghosts past three players.
"He`s got very quick feet but I don`t want to over-hype him because he`s a cocky little whatever and I have to keep bringing him down to earth.
'I`ve told him his worse nightmare`s back. That`s me!"
