Am I missing something here?
Maybe our perspectives here are a wee bit askew because of the loss of one of our own, but do we all become judge and jury on the basis of less than half-a-dozen games?
The boy plays in a specialised position which requires a good deal of support from the player in front of him and a great deal of communication from the boys to his right.
That takes time and with all due respect to Lewis Morgan and Scott Sinclair, doubling back in defence is not the strongest part of their respective games.
It may well be that the boy is a dud, but the eye says that he has something about him. At the very least, we owe him some support - because whether we like it or not, he's the man in the shirt and until something else comes along, then he may well be the difference between Champions League football or the Europa League.
