Yesterday he did nothing of any benefit and most aided Forest by his ineffectiveness however as others have said let's give him till end of October to light up the Championship.
I agree with the above but once again we've signed someone in their prime but for whatever reason they just can't provide anything to the team when they arrive. I'm getting pretty fed up of us constantly having to rehabilitate players before they look worth the money we're spending on them. When was the last time someone came in and made an immediate impact, from the last 20 years I can think of Keane, Carbone and Dublin who came to us with a reputation and lived up to it from the off. There's a few more who had a decent debut but then dropped off and took a few months to get back to form (Petrov for example).

Even if he hasn't been amazing for us I do think there's better balance in our team now in the final third. He has guile on the left, Albert brings pace for the counter attack on the right and upfront we have a lot of pace and power with the front two.Will be games where we need three centrally though so would imagine Davis would drop out in that scenario.
Give snoddy chance he's a class act for this level.I wouldn't be surprised if he adds more a goals and assists against a decrypted Bolton team. And he has a good football brain added to his brand with elmo and Bruce he's a promo know how.
He was excellent on Tuesday. He had a bad game against Forest, but I thought he was decent against Barnsely too.
