Works hard but lacks a final ball IMO

Perhaps if he had more movement or options ahead of him that would come
Yep. Also think he needs a bit of confidence. Seems to always want to get rid of the ball quickly to another player when he receives it. Seen him take on a few yesterday quite capably so it is in the locker.

He's a good player, but would benefit from playing on the right, rather than the left. Square pegs, round holes etc.

He was playing on the right second half yesterday. It didn't work

Fair enough, I wasn't there yesterday. Most of his minutes since he has returned from injury have been wide left of course. He appeared to have a free, roaming role, late in the game against Pompey.

From what I saw against Wycombe, he seems to be the only player in our team capable of winning us a penalty. I thought Rankine might be a good shout too. The problem with both of them is that they often hit the first man when playing the ball into the box. However when there's noone to aim for, I guess it's difficult to know where to put the ball.

I wouldn’t go that far. I mean he’s not as bad as Scott.

Not quite as he puts effort in but other than that, he’s crap.
