Harry - LCFC Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Neither am I. It's just that I realise it would be ridiculous to take much from such a small amount of game time in the situations he was brought on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy1981 Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Thought he looked alright actually quite solid on the ball, adds a bit more strength if we need to tighten things up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny the fox Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 I don't even like the way he sits on the bench, another Nige dud.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelcfc Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Yeah, let's judge a player after 15 mins of football coming back from an injury, why not? I mean it is foxestalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 To be fair to op he's just mentioned that he hasn't offered much so far. I don't think he's being written off, just the fact that he's made two fairly glaring errors after he's come on on both occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyizzetisgod Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 I can't say I ever rated him when he was at villa but tbh he was never given a full shot there. Lad needs game time and a start too...but in my eyes what we have in midfield already he is a squad player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 To be fair to op he's just mentioned that he hasn't offered much so far. I don't think he's being written off, just the fact that he's made two fairly glaring errors after he's come on on both occasions. Exactly this. There's a difference between "judging" or "writing off" a player and saying he's been poor for us in the couple of games which he's played. Thought he had a bit of a shocker today when he came on but I'm confident he'll prove to be a good acquisition for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty98 Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 he's a team player, when you're playing against bigger teams the last thing you want near the end of the game is a player taking people on and losing possession. Wait till we play an average prem side and i'm sure he'll shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 I was surprised when Pearson brought him on. On today's showing he doesn't seem to want to take anyone on and the only time I noticed him was when he gave the ball away. Other than the pass down the line to vardy and one half decent cross he didn't really do anything of note! That's not to say he's a bad player though, he probably just needs more game time.

Tuna Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 How many minutes has he had? 30 at most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxInTheBirstallBox Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Hammond thread before: everyone slated him, not a good player, not good enough ect ect And now look at him, starting games and everyone loves himJust because a player comes off the bench doesn't mean they are poor, i know enough villa fans who said they are going to miss him because last season, after the top 6 teams, they all said he was the best crosser of the ball in that league, and today with the cross me made to King and the corner he took, i can see why!!!!Give the lad support!!

Deucalion Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 When he's at the other end of the pitch he looks like Colin Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad needs game time and a start too...but in my eyes what we have in midfield already he is a squad player Our technical scout has a feature on Sky Sports website, in it he said: If you look at the stats of players who played more than 10 games in the Premier League last season, only five players created more chances per minute than Marc Albrighton (David Silva, Willian, Samir Nasri, Juan Mata & Mesut Ozil). He also delivered more crosses per minute than any other player who started a Premier League game. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11662/9427945/the-science-of-scouting-signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin JD Popley Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Well, for what it's worth, I thought his crossing wasn't far off being pretty on the money. Had Leo been on the end of some of them, I think there would have been opportunity to score. But as others have said, give him chance. The lad's been injured and played the sum total of about 30 minutes of football this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinFox Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 He'll be fine.Still fitting in, has come off the bench against two very good teams and has only had a few minutes.Also, he's only managed 32 league appearances in the last two years (since August 2012) - so probably needs a run of games and to get his form and confidence back.

muzzyizzetisgod Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 Fair play but I'm sure he played significantly less games then those other players. I'm not going to knock him, he has got potential pacey and can whip a ball in but I think the lads we have in that position already are better. But we have barely seen the lad so the best is yet to come hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 31 August 2014 Share Posted 31 August 2014 He gave two shocking passes away today, but only two sub appearances, give him time he looked very good in Pre Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
