    I actually think he has looked much better on the left than on the right.

    Sorry, just read that back and it's misleading. I meant in the right way and I think he is better playing through the middle.

    Anyone thinking we should loan this kid out are off their heads. More than first team ready and far more effective than Sinclair.

    He is exciting and full of confidence, the same way Sinky was in his first season, always looking to create and make things happen, really hope Lenny gives him a chance.

    Squad number changed..

    Captain when he came on..

    Gearing up for a big season..

    Kid is a serious serious player. Best attacking academy talent since Maloney/McGeady..

    Genuinely has it all. Amazes me people don't rate him..

    Aye, forget loaning him out. He'll be at the most attacking team in the league with us, getting plenty of opportunities to create and score goals.

    He's ready to be a regular feature. Takes it past defenders far easier than Sinclair does, and already has a good scoring record for the first team.

    Hear, hear mate. It's * obvious how good he is. My worry was Lennon would look to loan him out but the record shows that Lennon has played him pretty consistently and today he's made him captain & the kid scores two and runs riot, playing in 1st gear no less. Gtf with the loan patter, this kid is the real deal.

    He is involved and tries far more than anyone else in that left wing position..

    Has the pace. Skill. Low centre of gravity/goes both ways/isn't predictable. Vision in terms of assists. Can finish..

    Main thing is he's confident and on the way up. Sinclair isn't confident and is on the way down..

    Don't think there's any chance he goes on loan now to be honest. Lenny massively rates him..

    I like him a lot. Good dribbler, great burst of pace over 5 yards and is really clever in the final third.

    He was being a bit too greedy in that first half, though.

    He takes it past players for fun. Just tends to overplay it at times rather than look for the pass.

    The most impressive player in his half of football, for the second match in a row.

    Really chuffed he's doing well, playing his way into contention for the first team. Could be a very exciting season for him.

    Yep.

    Regularly skins a few players then gives the ball away. But he has so much ability.

    I'd be regularly subbing him and wee Karamoko on for the last 20mins if we're in front...
