Very typical move for a third tier club - take a teenager on loan from a Premiership side. He may be ok, and, to be honest Ajose and Novak have been firing blanks.
Agree with the comments that we are assembling a very hard to beat squad. Only 6 defeats by the beginning of February, very tight at the back too.
Any chance of a late run depends on scoring rather more goals than we have managed so far, and Mavididi might help us do that.
Unfortunately not as hard to beat as we would like.
Two cases for the defence to consider your honour!!
1). Stephy showed no signs of struggling. In fact he was by a mile our best player
2) had he been subbed after 60 mins then the same people moaning now would have been hollering "FFS Robinson you moron, why take off our best player? "

Poor bloke doesn't stand a chance
Fair points if it wasn't Robinson himself who said not taking him off was a mistake.

I do agree he's a lemon for saying that but we all know he talks too much. He reminds me of the candidates on The Apprentice who take responsibility for all the errors in the hope that curries favour with Lord Sugar

I don't care that he talks too much, which he does, but that he doesn't win enough matches.
What do you guys make of the 5 games he played for us?
MOM in 3 of them says it all.
He is a very very talented player. Whether he is going to come in and make the difference I don't know - but he is very exciting to watch and definitely has an eye for goal.
With our injuries he would be a most welcome addition right now

Fingers crossed - all the sources online are looking positive that he's going to come through the door!

His stats would say otherwise. Not dissing him, but if he had actually scored a league goal then that would be a start.

It's another gamble, a desperate one. If anyone was serious about improving a squad that desperately needs strengthening they sign proven professionals, bringing in kids like this is fine when we are just adding an option or that is all that is needed. We need proper strengthening

As others have said though RD isn't going to bank roll that so I expect just loans now.

I would agree if he was coming in to be first choice consistently. But (presumably) he won't be. He'll be coming in to be an impact sub, and from the little I saw of him last year I think that would be a very good role for him. Plus he has a little extra bit of quality that it's hard to find at this level.
How is it we always get the same players back in on loan, its like watching a remake of some pony film, there must be a new player or two we've not tried yet?

If he knows the players already then that's an advantage

If he does come back then I just hope he still has it in his locker after the injury he's had.
But, club in goal scoring crisis desperate for a goal scorer, signs player who has never scored a goal. OMG where did it all go wrong !
Better the devil you know and all that
