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.

Or you could just make your mind that he's crap. It's easier.
Or you could make you're mind up that he's amazing. Equally as easy.

Who's said he's amazing?

Clampy world. Bruce needs time, when thats proven wrong then he needs to buy his own players, when that is proven wrong then we need stability, yep that doesn't work out well so he needs a pre-season, after a pre-season we still look as bad as the day he walked in so now he needs the beginning of the season. This theory is now applied to a player that is completely out of his depth.

No, it's not childish digs like 'clampy world' it's differences of opinion. It's a forum, it's how it works.

Helps if you're not so delicate on a forum in the face of other opinions too.

How about you knock off making digs like that.

Actually - some players can with effort and mentality make a whole team become winners.  He did with Iceland against England ;)

But it is very often that players get written off and every move is analysed negatively. It could affect their performance on the pitch. That sigh in the crowd before kick-off etc.

He had a solid cameo v Bristol when he came on. He is hardly one of the high earners either. Bruce, Terry, Whelan, Snodgrass, Jedinak, Chester I suspect are the core people that we are banking promotion this term on with crazy wages. Let's hold them to account before writing off others.

I think he's got something about him and if he gets enough game time I could see him scoring 8-10 goals this season. I'm sure this isn't the case with everyone but I think he's one of these players where some have already decided he's rubbish and nothing he does will change that view.

Agree with that. Some people have absolutely no patience whatsoever.

Bloody hell, you took your time with that.

It's like ten thousand midfielders when all you need is a reserve left back.

Being patient with crap players hasn't led to much of a pay off in recent years.
