Seriously? I watched him today keeping in mind all these comments about his ability and thought it wasn't the sort of performance that supports those comments. His one chance on goal was while being challenged and still not as easy a chance as the three Ulloa missed, and his touch was much...
While Paynter was here he featured in 10 of 11 games, starting six of them and playing more than 20 minutes in three of his four sub appearances. So was given an extended run and game time to show that he can look like a footballer (albeit a poor one). Obika has not had that time. Out of 8 games...
