Owing to work!, I missed the Peterborough game and had to listen to everyone who had seen the match waxing lyrical about how fantastic it all was!, especially Ndiaye.
So, against Preston, I was fully fired up to see our latest ,World-beater', but (IMHO) I watched a young lad who looked like he was 'running on empty', probably due to his endeavours in the game 3 days before. Stamina and strength will come with game-time.
(missed Sot'on, work) So, against Derby, he was better, not great, just part of what was a 'mish-mash, teeth-grind' of a performance on the day.
So, my disappointments are that I have yet to see the lad have a top notch game, see the blistering pace I heard about, see him terrorise a defence or 'ghost' past 4 or 5 players using his 'mesmerising' ball control!!,........
But, I have seen enough from him with and without the ball to see that he is already building an understanding with the players around him (and vice versa). He's starting to fit in to that side nicely, and once the other lads get used to his (& MG-W's) back-heels and 'flair touches' there's exciting times ahead.
I hold my hand up to thinking, what the hell have we got here!?, the first few times I watched David Brookes. oooops!
