What do people make of him?
I want to like him but not really convinced. Looks like he would suit an ACM role the most ie understudy to Carvalho, not seen enough evidence yet. Playing a deeper role he seems to struggle, quite light weight and gives the ball away a lot, one error today let the attacker clean through on goal.
I want to say give him time, he needs to adjust to the pace and physicality of the Championship and that may well be the case. What surprised me is that I had assumed he was a youngster and therefore work in progress, he isnt really, 26 already so football wise he isnt going to improve too much you would imagine.
Positives, there are some definitely some, for a start his work rate is very good. His best attribute by far is his a with a dead ball, I would say the best corner taker we have had in years, probably the only decent corner taker we have had since Reid come to think of it.
I wonder if the best way we could utilise him is to force a change in the rules to align with American football so he is a kicker who only comes on the field for set pieces? No? Oh well just a thought.
