Having seen him play for the first time on Saturday (admittedly on a stream) I am concerned. He just looked too slow and lightweight for a physical encounter away at Southend. He didn't seem to move from a 10 yard by 10 yard deep central area. A number of times our full backs were taking throwings and looking for outlets; he didn't make himself available despite being in space. The game just seemed to pass him by. I really hope he isn't Danny Murphy mk II. Maybe he will be more suited at home on a slick playing surface?"
