Poor management from Leicester, he wasn't ready for a championship relegation dog fight. A nice mid-table L1 or L2 club would have been a better introduction.

There is obvious talent there, but no idea how to convert that into end-results.

I hope they send him out again rather than a bit part player in their championship rebuild. A bit like Ashford, quick off the mark but that pace doesn't continue through the gears like an Issak Davies and I am not sure any of these kids get taught how to cross anymore.

Totally agree.

They should loan him out to someone like Watford or Norwich - a club who will probably be mid table so won't be under the huge pressure of a relegation battle or top two push.

Couldn't disagree more-wasn't his fault we went down but playing in a struggling side is all part his learning curve. Wouldn't mind seeing him back if the chance came up again.

I can only recall him getting the ball and going round in circles like my dog used too chasing his tail, didn't really rate him tbh, maybe we just weren't the side for him :bluebird:

He will get another chance next season in the Championship - With Leicester if he stays there .
