Seriously tho' we'll have to wait and see. End of last season there were a lot of doubters on here talking about just how bad Hendo had been and what a waste of money his transfer had been. Now here we are and slating another young lad here in his first season (and who was carrying an injury to boot). Yes, his performances (the first few apart) appeared timid and his concern seemed to be ball retention, rather than getting things moving. He has seemed a little lightweight at times. This close season period will give him time to get fit and hopefully bulk up a bit (like Hendo did), then we should hopefully see a better representation of the lad and whether he has a true future as a first teamer, not just a bench warmer (as he should have been for significant parts of the season).
