I don't think it's a huge differing of opinions on this subject tbh. You think he's ready to play in the PL now and I think he will be eventually. It's not like I think he's shit and we should just get rid. This goal doesn't change my opinion on that either tbh but you should be allowed your moment to bask . I even tagged you in so you would get a notification... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Watching that game he was so frustrating. He was clearly the best player on the pitch but most of the game just passed him by There was a 20 minute period at the end of the first half where he was superb but there were also times when his decision making was so poor The penalty miss summed up his game really. It was a great run by him which drew the foul but then the pen was so poor. It looked like he was trying to place it in to the top corner, no pace on it at all, but ended up miles high and wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like he was trying to place it in to the top corner, no pace on it at all, but ended up miles high and wide Do you not feel that when he plays for the under 21s he has a tendency to want to do all on his own, in similar fashion as we’ve seen from Danjuma in some games. Whether that’s because he is desperate to standout, or whether he hasn’t much faith in the players around him I don’t know, but he can be frustrating at times when he doesn’t make the simple pass and move. But he’s definitely a talent and for me needs a firmer hand in the coaching side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s a fair point and he still has time to develop and you can coach the decision making in to him, it’s the talent that can’t be coached and he already has that in abundance Hopefully he kicks on but I just think he needs another period out on loan to bring his game on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made sense so much that he's barely got any minutes. He hasn't been needed. I'm actually fuming with the decision to keep him here tbh. I rate him highly and this year has been wasted for him.

But with our injury record over the years, I'm (pleasantly) surprised that he's not been needed and I'm assuming that's why he was kept on.

Still a couple of days this window though It might be hindsight for some but it's not for me. I said he wouldn't play and I thought he wouldn't even if we had injuries. There was absolutely no chance he was going to the amount of minutes to warrant wasting a year of his development. I just hope it doesn't hold him back too much.

I really don't see that much in him to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I think it's a bit early to write him or 442 off, Dobbin does offer a completely different dynamic, probably better suited to chasing knockdowns etc so I'd be happy with that whilst Doucs is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
