    Gets a pretty hard time on here and although largely frustrating he is a decent player.

    Happy he got his goal and found it quite funny watching him celebrate. The lad didn't know what to do, he tried everything, pointed to his name, grabbed the badge but missed and grabbed the Tombola logo, then kissed the badge then went to hug the manager which he looked a bit scared of when reality of that hit home.

    Think it's pretty obvious he brings alot to the table, to our team. Surprised there's so many that don't want him starting games as we benefit greatly from his pace and ability to go past his defender and put balls in the box. His crosses can improve but they're at least coming.

    how many players does he past with the ball though.

    he goes past them with his speed when the ball is knocked up to him though.

    he did do it at the start of last season but when crossing couldnt past the first man or it was crossed over the line.

    The lad does have ability but he's disabled by his pea-like heart. The lad needs more courage.

    I particularly liked his loyalty to Umbro. Nice touch to kiss their logo

    Which past players? We talking Raich Carter or Chris Makin?

    You go passed somebody.
    The ball went passed the first man.
    He passed the ball to his teammate.

    Sorry but I am employed as a spelling and grammar officer on RTG.

    At home he is a decent player but away from home he should never be picked

    Agree with this. Too spineless to play away from home but at home has something to offer. Played well against Stoke and ok yesterday. The game in between, Norwich, he was absolutely woeful...
