    Haven't seen much of him on the pitch but where's he at development wise?
    Two good finishes but seems to be fairly anonymous when on the field, otherwise.
    What are his strengths?

    Until he gets a decent run of games under his belt it will be hard to judge whether he is anymore than a bit part player who will notch the occasional goal.

    Unfortunately for him its hard to see were that run of games is going to appear from unless someone gets injured....or sold

    Difficult to say as we've not seen enough of him on the pitch, as you point out. He works hard though, he spends lots of time in the gym, and that header at Millwall was an example of outstanding strength to beat the keeper from around the penalty spot using only neck muscle power.

    I do know he's a popular hero back in Austria, where his family and friends, and the press, follow his progress avidly. I think he'll come good, he's got just the right attitude.

    Yeah, he has the right attitude. That’s half of the battle these days.

    He’s decent, but still adjusting and developing. Just needs some game time, which everyone knows including Schmidt might be limited currently due to form.

    We just need to ensure when he does come on as a sub, he has a good 20-25mins, and not just the last 5mins.

    From the few cameos I’ve seen he looks like a decent finisher. But isn’t particularly tall or quick.

    Reminds me a little of Bradshaw?

    No - and neither does defenders see much of him on the pitch.
    That’s why we bought him.

    Struggles physically against big defenders, but definitely has an eye for a goal and is a good finisher. Needs a couple of years I reckon and hopefully he’ll fill out a bit and be able to hold his own with adults.

    He reminds me of Daggers I don’t know why

    Can't remember who Daggers plays for now, but I noticed he scored boxing day. Always liked him as a player but he took some stick.

    Hopefully we'll have a decent run in the cup then some of the fringe players will get some game time.

    The little I have seen of him he seems to be a good finisher but contributes little else. Needs more game time before I can really form a proper opinion. For sure I wouldn’t start him ahead of Brown Chaplin or Woodrow at the moment but he will get his chance at some point I expect

    Makes really good runs off the shoulder of the last man. Good finishes when he has had the chance. A lot of the runs he makes he is not picked out be the player in possession.

    Agree, he could be a good one in the long run. Not a starter for me at the moment, but has an eye for goal as a sub.

    Guy needs a run of games and he's one for the future but I've been impressed with his two finishes so far.

    To put it into perspective, he's scored the same amount of goals as Kieffer Moore but Kieffer's played over a 1,000 more minutes than him and he didn't cost £4m either.

    Not saying he is anywhere near as good as winnall but he seems that type of player. He’s a finisher but not much of a creator. Only as good as the service around him... 2 quality finishes though so he’s got something about him
