    I know not everybody saw him play so it,s a difficult question to answer for most posters on here.
    Could he become as influential and score as many goals as Ronnie flavin in his heyday or is their something lacking that glavin had,I certainly think he has the technical ability.

    He's a good player and he's chipped in with a few goals but he needs to be played in his most suited position. Which is behind the front two rather than where Clarke plays him as a striker.

    Play him in his right position and we will see whether he's this teams equivalent of a Hignett or Glavin

    He's great at scoring goals. Some of them, like today, are genuine genius. But he's got to learn to be a bigger part of the overall game than what he's contributing at the moment. I'd still play him because of his goal scoring ability, I just want a bit more from him.

    Reminds me very much of Robbie Keane.

    He's been a breath of fresh air for me. Our best Midfield is Connell, Russell and Phillips and our best attacking players are DKD and Humphrys. That should be the five with Connell and Russell sticking and twisting and Phillips arriving on the scene late. Just let Humphry's do what he wants as he's busy.

    Back on point DKD has had some right stick but has 8 goals from midfield. Phillips has seven.

    Clarke needs to stick with certain players. I'm not qualified to pick the team but the above five mentioned contribute to more wins than defeats.

    He's tidy but if we had consistency wouldn't be getting a mention.

    Good player but needs to be more clinical, though it doesn't help him not playing in his natural position. Think he's first or second still on big chances missed in the league, and that was around 2/3 weeks ago. It was about 8 or 9 big chances missed, but hopefully that improves over time with more league 1 experience and him getting settled in the side.

    He hasn’t got eight goals from midfield in fairness - he’s been played up front in the main.

    Though he should have been and would be better suited to being a bit further back.

    I like Humphry’s but he's another Norwood looks spent after so long and ofter gets caught flatfooted.

    Class take and finish from dkd today.

    He will never be in the same class as Glavin. Not intended as a criticism, because I don’t recall us having a player who was.

    No,Ronnie was pure class, you could feel the buzz of excitement as he set off on a run, or powered into the area , never experienced anything like it since!

    That’s exactly as I remember him. Little diagonal run, head bobbing, and often a well hit, side foot finish. Brilliant!
