LW made it clear he wasn't impressed with the mistake, so it won't have done Jim any favours at this stage of assessing the squad. As fans, many of us like Jim's enthusiasm and effort shown previously, but of course the new manager will be judging him on his form now. I wouldn't say he's a liability, but as I've said on many threads, the midfield overall is where we need to strengthen most.
