Ligue 2

People digging out Alves when we have the likes of Burns, Chaplin, Cullen, BCDR stinking out the place 

 

Probably been out best player.

Yep he's been ok, good a times. Other people around him have sucked, so thats never going to help a young player.

Has he got more potential than anyone in the squad? Likely..

 

Is his progression being stumped by the dross around him? Definitely..

 

But...we can't pretend he's blowing any one away. Hes got like 2 goal contributions in over 500 minutes of football in a shit league and has been quite wasteful at times.

 

Granted, its not ideal that a player who should be being nurtured and developed has the pressure of being the star player..

 

But yeah....sentiment aside, can we really sit here and say he' been great?

Same amount of goal contributions as Luke Thomas 😬

 

But is definitely one of our better players, great at running with the ball just poor decision making/final ball.

If that post higher up is accurate and he’s not even played 40 games in his career poor decision making is probably expected!

I would assume he’s been playing football almost his whole life, he should know when to pass, cross or shoot.

Didn't say he'd been great, just better than the rest.

 

Who playing better than him or as well? 

 

I'd say only him, Lundstrum, Riis, Page and Joseph have shown and consistent level of performance, maybe Braybrooke at a push.

I’d say page has impressed me more than alves, however, page’s shooting has been shocking

Was crap yesterday. Tbh considering way him and braybrooke were talked about as kids, they barely look L1 standard 

Those crap kids combining to score a bloody goal. The nerve
