What you mean progresses beyond the dozen or so games he's played?? He's already showed up the majority of our list in 12 games. You need to get a clue, it will help you through your fog of ineptitude.

Johnny, the Game Day interview I referred to earlier. The stride, the stride. He's far from slow. He might be tiring as the year goes by, but he's not slow.

When you consider his package as a total e.g. he gets it every way possible, uses it excellently with almost every appendage, reads it like 2nd nature, is excellent athletically (off bugger all preparation coming into his 1st season), is fanatically dedicated to being the best he can be, I see more than strings - I see a whole orchestra.

The kid's a gem. If we can develop him properly, and bolster the outfit around him, he'll be the best to come onto our list since the current skipper. If we do our bit, and he doesn't get 'broken' physically, I have no doubts about this kid's future. None.

Are you serious? He's played ten games (if that) and already one of our most dependable with the ball in his hands, and reliable (and confident) on both sides of his body. Ig he's playing like this now imagien what he'll be in three or four years once he's bulked up and matured... F&8%n hell, give our kids a chance!


The future's so bright I've got to wear shades...
