Excellent. Whilst he has been a bit in an out - I think PS considers him a luxury in games where pragmatism is prioritised - he's as skilled a player as I can remember in a long time, and when he's on form, unplayable.

Fully agree with Doc. If we get him playing anywhere near his potential he is a game changer. He must knuckle down now and produce what he is capable of. Pleased he's signed up again.

Probably upset a few here, but only what i see. I'm Not sure. He needs to learn to pass the ball instead of trying to beat the world and then losing it. Also decision making is poor especially when he can pass it, but instead tries to beat everyone. Poor against Gornal and last night. Hopefully he will come good through the season, but not sure.

I had a close view in 1st half against Gornal as was in the stand and thought he was best player, they couldn't get near him

I guess that's what others must think too as he was let go by Burton and, reading between the lines, wasn't successful in a trial at Kiddy.
However, if he had all of his skill, made all the right decisions and played to his full potential, it'd be unlikely that he would be at the 8th level of English football.
Hopefully he's gaining experience, a bit of non-league "nous" and we'll see him maximise his ability for his (and our) benefit.

Also in the away game at Belper last season when he came on at half time, their fans couldn't believe he hadn't started the game. Too good for this level was the comment

From what I was seeing on twitter most if not all comments from kiddy fans were saying they wanted him. Even the comments where he commits to us there's kiddy fans praising him. That's a team 2 leagues above us

Yep, my mate is a big Kiddy fan and they are amazed that they didn’t sign him as he had been very impressed when he played. I think the management there were a bit wary of when they come up against the clogger teams in the league, and there are quite a few of them I’m told.
