He has looked a bit better lately, think the goal against Wigan gave him confidence.He works hard, but sometimes lacks an end product.To be fair he has been asked to play at left-back before, which is never his preferred position.

The opinion was that Bruce had been watching him for a while and really rated him.

You've got to wonder why we signed him as no-one seems to know his best position or how to use him.
Unfortunately he's not good enough to get into or fit into a struggling team...but he looked ok against Wigan reserves. Says it all really.

Says it all really.Not reallly, it says he's come to a new country, played a few games, got a nasty injury and is working his way back. I've seen something I like in the way he plays, but I'm puzzled as to how anyone has had enough time to ultimately decide how successful he'll be. He needs to be given a decent opportunity before that decision is made either way.
Actually being short of match fitness and adapting to a new league is likely to impact on a player's sharpness and technique. Pretty sure if you've ever gone a long time without playing football your touch will be a lot worse than it was when you last played, doesn't mean your fundamental technique is flawed.
