Other players like Billing still excelled when we had injuries....christ even Kilkenny Zemura and Anthony did......he played with Jeff and Pearlo at Hull and still looked poor...He'll get game time as the season progresses. Only now he'll know that he isn't an automatic pick due to injuries so it's up to him to take his chance.
A tad harsh to judge him on performances in a team bereft of senior players. You can see how much better everyone looks with a few more older heads out there and options on the bench. Let's see how he gets on when he's surrounded by players like that.
Agreed. Also think people are expecting him to be some sort of world beater when in reality he was a squad player for Brentford whose squad on paper wasn't that much stronger than ours last season. He's slightly different than anything else we have in that he will find pockets of space in and around the opposition penalty area in tight games and find a goal for us without contributing too much else.He'll get game time as the season progresses.

I don’t think Stan will automatically play if he’s fit, he’ll have to earn his place just like everybody else.It would take a lot of injuries to our midfielders for him to get a look in tbf...Billing ...Christie even Jeff will be preferred in that attacking midfielder role.....and if Stan is fit he'll play.

Jeff is being preferred to him now tbf....in fact Jeff will be preferred to any midfielder we have.I'm not sure Jeff would be preferred but agree that Billing and Christie will do. With potential injuries, Covid issues and suspensions, he may well get a chance, though.
I wonder if the club are rueing renewing his contract. Injured already, games missed already and one of our top earners. I agree there is some ability there but I think we are doing pretty well without him and the young lads are excelling in the team. He's a pretty expensive luxury.I don’t think Stan will automatically play if he’s fit, he’ll have to earn his place just like everybody else.

His experience will hopefully be beneficial for the younger guys' development, whether he plays or not (obviously it would help if he was with them on the training ground a bit more...)

I think, because of the rumours I read about him, he's an expensive liability but I like him and would not like to see him go. If he trains with the first team he can show our young lads a thing or two... hmm! I expect some of our youngsters could show him a thing or two too. QEDHe is a very good striker of the ball even if he contributes little else at times. Surely bring him on at 75-80 minutes if we need a goal.
It can stay there.I'm just going to leave this here. Scott Twine.
