    Osula.

    What do we think?

    At 21, can he be described as 'raw'? Well, anyway, I think 'raw' but with a lot of potential is how I see him and, in Eddie, he has the right coach to develop that potemtial.

    I've mentioned before how highly the coaches at the club rate him and how they're very excited for his development. I think we saw glimpses of why today. For a start, he never stopped-a quality that is non-negotiable with Eddie (and us) but that first touch, turn and run in the first half (was it the one that led to the goal?) was absolute quality. What was almost as good was his decision-making for the goal. Having created the opportunity himself with his shot, he could have gfelt entitled to have another go (as many forwards would) but he made a much better decision to pass and that created the goal.

    Plus, he was kicked all over the park today but his head never went down and stood up for himself (the booking was an absolute nonsense by a joke of a ref-worst I've seen in a long time).

    Yes, he tripped over his own feet a bit with the ball and was a bit wayward with some shooting and passing but I think there's enough there for him to become a very good player.

    Earliest of days, obviously, but....

    Thoughts?

    He's ****ing nuts. . . and I love it and I'm all there for it

    I think in couple of years we'll have a big money player on our hands, like Gordon I think Howe is taking it slowly and then next season we'll see him unleashed.

    I was unsure of him till today, today convinced me that he'll be good for us.

    His booking was pathetic, as was the fact nobody else in the melele on him was booked, only the player that originally took him down.

    Looks quality in the making to me.

    I'd like to see a bit more bulk and more aggression in the air.

    But feck me, hes only 21.

    Great attitude and bags of potential but you saw when Murphy came on, compared to him, that he needs to develop. Edie ll get him there in the end.

    Great game from him out wide! Incredibly pacey and direct and I was willing him to get his goal.

    If he?s not playing more minutes next season, he needs a loan move. At a club that plays him, in the position we want him to play his trade.

    A team that plays attacking football that?s going to let him find his shooting boots and get balls into the box.

    For me get him in the Championship, he scores 15 goals or so, and gives him the confidence and composure to come back
