    It’s one thing having a view but it’s another fabricating/guessing negatively what’s happened, old LW mate (he wasn’t), LWs signing (based on what) and rejected by all his other clubs (based on what) especially after he gave a full walk through of his career, he seems an honest guy.
    Like i have said, i have seen him in every game that he has participated in and in my opinion he has only been decent in one second half appearance. You and others may see things differently, but if we all thought the same life would be boring.

    I think he’s been steady, authoritative and yes I would like to see a bit more and I think it will come. He’s a Carrick type, it’s more subtle how he goes about his business and obviously LW sees that as an important element.

    I think JB’s recent performances have a shown a distinct improvement on his sharpness…..which is to be expected after not playing for so long.

    He and Jones both have that ability to be able to see a forward pass, both players could be pivotal this season. That being said, I expect JOB to start tomorrow.

    I think JB showed when he first came in that he wasn’t fit but there was glimpses of his quality. Solihull second half showed a different JB he looked sharper and a lot more forward passing than previous. On Saturday he was instrumental in our 1st goal winning the ball 2 or 3 decent passes including the one to Rawlinson. Yes he gave the ball away for their goal but we had plenty of players back before the cross and should have dealt with it.

    I personally believe he will get more influential the more the season goes on.

    Unfortunately Durham has a downer on him and doesn’t look for turning but to say JB hasn’t had a better career or have a better career than Vinny is stretching it further than an elastic band(and I like Vinny a lot)

    He has had a long career involving lots of different clubs, and many destinations. I didnt say he had a better career than Vinny, other than you cant compare them both because Vinny is somewhat younger than JB, and only time will tell if his career lasts as long as JBs

    Durham I’m afraid Vinny’s career won’t go above playing in National League

    Although giving the ball away initially at Torquay, it was very encouraging to see JB keeping up with the pacey Torquay player leading the attack which lead to the goal. Much quicker than Palmer, Francis or O'Brien I would suggest. He certainly seems up to speed now and I think more will come from the offensive side of his game.
    I doubt we will see any back tacking from durham if JB continues to improve as he has not acknowledged that AN is a bit more than a 10 minute wonder. How silly does that comment look now.

    if you have not already read my earlier post, i did say that i would applaud him if continues to improve. But time will tell, and its not very often that I'm wrong with my assessments.. lets hope so this time..

    Durham if you acknowledge players improvements is AN still a 10 minute wonder ?

    No you won’t, just like you will never applaud Nemane. You’ll just stop voicing your negative opinion on him and move on to the next scapegoat.
