Twitchy 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Simple but very effective Big Toe, if the snakepit and the Jarrold could work together, assuming he scores of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted January 9, 2010 he seems deceptively quick for someone tall which is good. had a decent first touch and also got back and won the odd tackle, looked good in the few minutes he played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah he looked okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted January 9, 2010 his run when he beat 4/5 players was impressive - looks like he could have good potential, but lets give him a little longer to make our minds up [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted January 9, 2010 Got a bit more meat on him than Cody has although he doesn''t seem to have as much pace. Looks a skillful player though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 9, 2010 Looks OK and capable of playing a but no more than a squad player! Has got a long way to go before thinking about breaking in! To me offered less than Mcdonald who has pace, tenacity and can force things out of nothing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McCanary 0 Posted January 9, 2010 I thought he looked comfortable and strong on the ball. Great run from almost his first touch. I think once he gets into the system we play he will be a very useful addition based on his first outing.....had the barclay singing his name veeery quickly.

If he was so good Lambert would start him or at the very least have him on the bench and give him lots of sub time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Yellow 2 Posted January 9, 2010 He was only on for short while but I actually thought he looked quicker than Cody. He has good balance, quick feet and good ball control. Particularly liked his ''disco'' step overIndustrious and lively but then of course he''s out to impress so he should be.Promising start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 252 Posted January 9, 2010 I listened to the match on the radio and he sounded good. However, I think that he is probably behind Holt and Martin as I think that 10 minutes isn''t really enough time to show yourself in detail, although at first he did sound like he was going to do a Marc Libbra. If Holt and Martin are available for the next game I think that they will start and Johnson will be on the bench, but I just think that Johnson should be given more time so that we can find out about him in detail.

Allez17 0 Posted January 9, 2010 It''ll take a lot to displace Holt or Martin, but Oli was clearly signed to be the next in line, and he''ll do well there. Keep lazy boy Martin on his toes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 9, 2010 On limited evidence seemed to be quick, direct and had a good first touch. To get into the team as a started he will need to be a goalscorer and the jury hasn''t even been sworn in on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
