I have to say i was impressed with him against Pyunik. Showed some very good touches and skill. With some more games to get his match fitness up to scratch he could turn out to be a decent player. He did do some stupid things like giving the ball away cheaply but he was playing up front on his own. Cant beleive im defending a derry city player :D
Don't you just hate stupid threads?
Only ever followed the player's progress through the papers, but I daresay he may be suffering from going straight from the Scottish close season into the Eircom mid season i.e. his lack of match fitness is holding him back.
I remember reading that one of the reasons why Kevin Doyle made such an instant impact at Reading was that he did the reverse. I've noticed, too, that players who sign fro English clubs from Scandinavia in July/August often do better than those signing in January.
That said, by the time they get to the end of their first English season in June, they will have been playing solid for nearly 18 months, so are suceptible to burnout/injury. (Steffen Iversson was esp badly treated by Spurs on that count)
