Got to admit I expected this lad to hit the ground running take this division by storm... A craig davies type player. The goals he has scored he has shown good touches... But they are too few and his contribution otherwise is lacking. Not up to the pace or physical aspect of league 1. The way he walked off yesterday when he was subbed, showed how low his confidence is a present. Best thing for all parties would be a fresh start either loan, sold or released.
to say Blackburn were in for him, i expected better. He wasn't that bad yesterday. should have finished two of his chances off. although one was offside should still be hitting the target.
Sadly yesterday was perhaps his best performance in a reds shirt... But he was poor... Played in central striker role so no excuses... But knocked off the ball to easily, lacked movement, off the pace, finishing was poor... Winnall did more in final 10mins than Kane did rest of the game. IMHO He's got it in his locker. Not sure whats gone wrong. How his confidence is so low.
I sat in the West Stand, behind dugout. He was not happy to come off, and when he eventually reached touch he give such a half-hearted hand-shake to Sam that Danny angrily grabbed his hand and said "what's that all about ?". Sat in dugout he looked like a man with the world on his shoulders. A trier, but like others have said, just not up to it. Am hoping he comes good, seems a decent bloke - really hope it works out.
He should have buried the 2nd one though. It was good work from Waring to force the opportunity for Hemmings and from about 8 yards out he needed to at least hit the target, the far post was gaping. I've defended this lad time after time, but yesterday I finally admitted that I think he's a bit out of his depth.
That's the problem with not having a proper reserve league, there's nowhere for players to regain form or confidence..
Slower than the BBS has been recently when he got played a lovely ball along the floor down the east stand side towards the north stand and he could only boot it out for their throw in to stop them having a goal kick.
I t didn't work for him yesterday and with respect hasn't all season. Not up to required standard, Just sad Lita isn't up to it. Can you imagine last season saying Lita couldn't get in the team and would have only two or three goals to date, wow!
Loan him back to the Blue Brazil, they are in need of his goals, and he might get his confidence back.
I know exactly the one you mean Dreamboy, but in this case, without wanting to defend him, I think the wind caught hold of it as it raced towards the line. My lad said "look at the corner flag" and to be fair it sped up like crazy. Seemed he was odds on to get to it at the start.
If he was gradually getting better I'd be happy to be patient with him, but that doesn't seem to be the case unfortunately. He doesn't give defenders a particularly hard time, always seem to be waiting for the perfect ball which is always going to be a rarity, and when it does drop to him he puts it wide or over - if you're going to carry someone like that it might as well be Lita as I'm sure he's a much more clinical finisher.
