Had his critics including myself but was great again last night. Probably his best ever season as a pro think duffs brought out the best in him. The finish from a tight angle then his press for the 2nd was class. Was named as sky's motm but mads edged him for me.
I think he's just found his level. I said at the start of the season, if you look at his career he's had a decent return of about1 in 3 twice before, when he played for Motherwell and for Fleetwood, and I thought he'd do similar this year.
He’s knuckled down & wants it now. He’s playing like a man & getting involved & is reaping the rewards. Early in the season straight away you could see him going for headers that he would’ve never gone for last season & the difference in work rate is unreal. You would’ve never imagined him pressing like he does now. I don’t think anyone’s ever doubted his technical ability, he’s always been a good finisher & dribbler but the problem was it was like we were a man short when we didn’t have the ball last season. Full credit to him, Duff & the coaches for his turnaround
Yeah he's had his critics, including me as well. But well done to Dev, he's on for 15 or more for the season and it makes me think of the phrase.. 'Its another goal for Cole!'.
I think Cole got a rough deal last season and not surprised to see him doing well now that he's been given a fair crack at it.
