could they pass the ball backwards and sideways 5 yards all day long without ever moving forward as well?
Definitely hints of quality on Saturday. The striking thing is he wasn't match fit - get a few games under his belt and I think we'll have found a good player.

Considering he had little time to get to know his team players and no training opportunity together, I thought he performed well on his first outing. He does not quite have the sparky element to Bobby Reid's play, but I reckon given adequate time he would be a very useful replacement for BR should he never return to HP.
I thought he produced some good cross-field balls to Mellor (who should have done better with them) and Purrington. Few days training with the team will help. Was a little surprised at the "backwards and sideways" comments from some, didn't feel like that watching him to me.
First half he was good I thought but seemed to be blowing out of his rear end for most of the second.
Perhaps it's just that he lacks match fitness.
Certainly made some great passes in the first 45 minutes and wanted to have a long range shot or two which is refreshing to see.

Absolutely. 6 months without first team football and met his teammates an hour and half before walking out in the green, he's only going to get better. I think he, Cox and Bobby Reid would compliment each other tremendously in a midfield three.
I don't think they would have time to pass too many compliments around in the middle of a game Sam.

Clearly, little time to know his team-mates and he will be rusty. However, I thought he played as many stray passes as good ones in the first-half and tired quickly in the second.
What was really apparent though, is that he struck me as yet another player who likes to occupy the midfield. There were a couple of occasions where Alessandra was bearing down on the six-yard box in the first-half and we only had two other players in there - Reid and Mellor. We need an attacking midfielder, not another occupier.

Probably yes but my comment was really a spelling police remark which i think went over your head rather like Stevenage's football would. Should be complement not compliment in your sentence that was all.
