Poveda


He's another enigmatic player, who if we can;
a) get him fit
b) get him motivated
c) get him to buy into the club ethics
d) get him putting in decent performances by giving him minutes
will be unplayable and create all sorts of problems for opponents.

Unfortunately a has always been an issue, ditto b apparently, but are probably tied in together to some extent. Perhaps encouraging c will help massively with a & b, along with d giving him a chance to showcase the reasons why he was at big names early doors on his career?

His showreels seem to be miles away from what we've seen so far in the flesh but it seems to me that he needs to rediscover the "Eye of the Tiger" before the end of the season or come next season we'd be best served loaning him out or even trying to sell him on given his 4yr (?) contract.

I like him and the fact he's a bit of competition for a misfiring Paddy Roberts (in terms of end product) but thus far performances aren't living up to the hype.

Summer business has been a funny one -

Isidor - best signing in a long time.
Samed - Injured for 6 months, shite.
Poveda - injured for 6 months, still injured.
Aleksic - can’t get a kick.
Abdullahi - Injured on and off since signing.
Moore - done what he came to (Sit on bench)
Browne - mostly injured
Mepham - Excellent signing.
Connolly - barely got a kick.

I am hoping Aleksic will get his chance next season. Maybe Triantis too if we lose a couple of midfielders.
 
I think you can read a lot into what Le Bris dosent say about Poveda.

I’ve heard no mention of him having a great attitude, working hard, brings a lot to the group etc.

Even talking about his injury today there was a reference to him missing games for a lot of reasons.

It’s defo not the same level of respect I’ve heard him talk about a Seelt or Ballard.

Aye noticed that myself, was half surprised Barnes never asked him a follow up question. I'm starting to side with the negative nellies on this one, write him off as a bad deal and hope someone will take him in the summer.

It's possible when he's not a key player do you not think we would have heard of it was more

No, I don’t think we’d hear about stuff from the aol. There does t seem to be the leaks of years by, you think we’d ban him from a match day squad for being late once to a team meeting?. That would be di canio levels of strict, I’m betting most of the lads have been late for a meeting at some point and not been removed from a match day squad. He come with warnings from other fans that he’s injury prone and can have attitude issues but if he gets fit and motivated then there’s a player there. We’ve seen nowt of that so far only the downsides of his constant injuries and imho there’s little chance he was banned from a match day squad for being late to one team meeting so is he really motivated?.

Can't just presume things though and I feel people are being incredibly harsh on him
