    Funny how managers see players so differently. He has all the vision to run the show from deep, but never played there before under any previous manager. Credit to their manager for being brave and smart. One thing seeing it, another thing doing it and working.

    Got a goal and assist- ready for his return to the Valley on Tuesday then.

    Offered something different to Doc and Coventry. Did a good job for us. Apparently not good enough to play in The Championship for us.

    We used him as an alternative to Berry though, and he did a job without standing out. In the summer I don’t think many said we should bring him back.

    Instead we signed Carey for that role, who so far has been our best signing. We have Knibbs and Fullah as options there too.

    Before last night, I don’t think anyone would have suggested signing Gilbert as competition for Coventry and Docherty.
