Quote from: kippaxvilla2 on January 02, 2025, 01:55:49 PMHe’s dining out on one deflected rabona. He has regressed badly. And 11 other goals plus 6 assists. TBH his play at Hull is reminiscent of Barry at Stockport. And the surprise I have is most of his better play at Hull (and for us in the pre-seasons before we sold him) came from left wing rather then right wing. But we have persistently played him on the right and then wondering why he isn't doing anything.

Yep, anyone who thinks his reputation is purely because of that goal wasn't paying attention, he made the championship team of the season for most people with any real knowledge of the division.He's struggled since he came back but, without relying on the benefit of hindsight, he wasn't a bad use of the money at the time and had similar stats to players like Bowen who made the same step up. I still think there's a good player in there but I don't know what we need to do to get him out of his shell because this season he's played well within himself.

How many league starts though? A handful at most, isn't it?
I wouldn’t write him off yet, but he needs a loan in my view. Ipswich would be good.
