    Looks pretty average to be honest.

    Played out of position but got in the right position at times. He hasn’t played in a while but I’m hopeful

    He missed a very good headed chance tonight, he put it well wide, in truth it was a very poor attempt. The boy looks very low on confidence to me, somehow BR is going to have to rebuild him if we are going to see the best of him. I hope the fans give him a chance and dont write him off too early. We now have 3 home games, lets see how he has performed after that.

    Get him on the wing. That’s when you will see the best of him.

    Never a striker imo.

    Keep him on the wing to get his confidence up before playing him as a number 9

    got into the good positions, he seemed to make poor decisions or poor attempts but given this is his first game for us and his first game for a while, its forgiveable

    getting into good positions is a good sign though think he good come good but will he get enough games

    my view about loanees is the manager will inevitably side with a player that is ours and will be hear next season, rather than keep playing a loanee instead, exception ofcourse is benkovic because simo or hendry are weak

    Clearly not a striker and clearly someone who has lacked game-time.

    Had a few nice touches and put in a shift, but it might take him a while to get going. Pity one of his efforts didn't go in, would have done his confidence the world of good to get a goal.

    Think once he gets his first goal he may get two or three

    Unless Brendan drops Sinclair I don't really see where this guy fits in. Big strong pacey lad but we have Weah and Bayo up front, Forrest is better than him and Sinclair is Brendan's blue eyed boy.

    Odd.

    Poor show playing him out of position in his first game. Not the way to boost confidence.

    Wasn't great, but also wasn't bad. And it was his on target shot the keeper pushed into Sinclair's path for the first goal. He played Ralston in nicely at one point too.

    Considering it was his debut and he has hardly played this season I'd say he did alright.

    Missed a free header from 8 meter. You need to bury them, no matter what opposition. Not writing him off, but what he showed tonight is not of the required standard we need at at our club.
