Perhaps a truer observation is that he hasn't set the world alight so far, perhaps being one of those a little too willing to play safe passes rather than seeking to impose himself and be creative. Yes, we will need to see more from him in due course, but it's far too soon to be overly critical. Some new signings make an immediate impact while others take time to bed in, and he would appear to fit the latter description.
Absolutely.

Supporters can play a massive part in making Meadow Lane a great place for our players to play. We don’t want our players to avoid making the forward pass out of fear of how the fans will react. Particularly the younger players like Francis.

I know, I’m probably being unrealistic.
