The BBC don't have the same system going for the EFL or Eli would be would still be winning them every game, even though he hasn't been in the Stevenage matchday squad for weeks.Quote:

Obviously, it wasn't quite as stellar as we'd first thought but he seemed to be a key player for Ross County and hopes were high that he'd kick on this season.
He picked up an injury in his last game up there, that seemed to affect his pre-season and he has never quite got going since. An oddly skittish performance from him in the cup for us probably cost him any chance he had of featuring in Bulut's plans and that appearance means we can't loan him to anyone else this season either.
Riza's been saying that it will be character building for him but he's already been through this at Crewe a couple of seasons ago, it's hard to look on the bright side of him stalling in League 1 at 22. It's not over yet for him though, of course, and hopefully he can turn things around soon.
I get a bit of stick on here from time to time for being critical of one of our homegrown products ( i wont say his name for fear of reprisal :hehe:) But i do hope that i've always been fair and that i have always highlighted the positives and ability of said player. I mention this because that's what i attempted to do with King in that game with Bristol Rovers. I sort of knew that i was clutching a bit, but i watched him closely for 10 minutes or so and i liked the fact that he really wanted to get on the ball, he was showing for it, maybe a little over eager, but understandable. The stuff he did with the ball was the problem, but i decided to try and see the positive, however scant they were on that evening. Agree with you over his previous loans, j think he's 22 now, and his future doesn't look like it's with us, although if he can somehow wangle a contract extension, and with the way things are going, i'm sure the club can accomodate Kings playing level by simply dropping down the leagues... :hehe:Quote:
