This video is more ‘up to date’ with all of his goals and assists from last season. Only seen it on twitter though. Definitely some end product there!
Looks decidedly one footed, brings it in onto his left the majority of the time.
Is that going to be acceptable to people on here? :lol:

I counted three right-footed crossed assists there.

Never known such a turnover of players in one window
We signed a lot of new players the season after the Orient match. Not this many I don't think but I reckon that was the last time we had such a major rebuild so quickly.

Last week equalled the first game after Orient for debuts - there were six last week starting and two from the bench. For the Colchester game to kick off 1987/88 there were seven starters and one sub. The only other one I could find that came close was Coventry at home in 1946 which saw six players debut including Harry Potts who I think was 26 by then.

That's definitely not one of his strong points.

The number of clubs he had last years also tells a story. Potential yes but still a lot to prove in terms of consistency.
