I still like him. Solid Championship player.  He may not be outstanding like we all hoped in his early games but he is easily good enough for a mid range Championship team we currently aspire to be.

I would like to think so but wasn’t convinced at all last night. I’d prefer the flair and occasional brilliance of Small any day. 

Small’s the type of player someone like Bree needs to get the best out of him. TC as the only starter remotely like that isn’t enough.

Hopefully, that second half on Tuesday will result in a bit more pace and flair in the team.

I have this niggling feeling he’s still playing through injury. His delivery has been poor post Wrexham game when we were told he couldn’t cross due to injury

Jones basically doesnt trust Costello at Wing-Back, cant play Apter there because then we're back to Southampton and going into games with no natural defensive cover there, cant play Ramsay there because Burke is injured and Gough is inexperienced, cant play Laqeretabua there for similar reasons.

A lot could really be resolved if we can get cover in the January Window, or start to get injured players back. Would probably be a lot easier if we still had one of Bell or Edwards who could play over on the left, as that's when you'd probably be seeing a little bit more of Apter
