Well he can only really surprise people, at least those on the forums, social media. I believed he would come across well in the press conference and I think he has.

It will be interesting to see how we play and what results we get going into January. With regards to style of play I'd be happy to see a quick direct style with an ability to mix up how the ball gets forward. Hasn't got to be death by passing or death by long ball, somewhere in the middle, but at pace would suit our fanbase far more than slow build up.

Talk of linking up with the academy more has to be a positive, if the players aren't good enough fine (this can be addressed in other ways) but at least give the more promising ones a chance to show what they can do.
