Wouldnt say he stands out anywhere near as much as Mak and Nimley did at the same stage last year.


I agree with that assessment from the little I have seen. He is a powerful lad though so quite different to most others we have had coming through and I saw that in the resreve game where he came on as a sub and made an immediate impact. From what I hear he is a lad with an attitude too. Hopefully the right kind of confident attitude and not like Daniel.


I know what you mean about his attitude; he certainly isnt as good as he thinks he is.Nowhere near the first team at this point.


But it's the sort of attitude that winners often have and it's all about channelling and managing that correctly. As for him being a physical player that doesnt mean he is 6 foot 4 or anything .Probably 6 foot or just over but in the reserve game I saw him in I was impressed with how he used his power and strength against bigger experienced players.

Well 6 foot is still more than Bellamy or Tevez, isn't it? And if he can use his strength well, even if he's not a giant he might be able to do a job as a target man, something Benji couldn't do on tuesday even for only fifteen minutes. I'd definitely like to see him for part of the game against Scunthorpe, although I know it won't happen.
