He's actually got a better goal record in the Championship (14 goals in 3,514 minutes - 0.36g/90) than League 1 (20 in 5,888 minutes - 0.31g/90) so think he has shown he can play in the Championship. I think he needs to be somewhere which plays a more simple style of football, he'd have been a good striker in a Mick team, works hard, runs all day, big enough and physical enough to handle himself, good in the air at both ends, etc......but for a more passing style, with more complicated pressing systems, I don't think he quite has the footballing intelligence for it. Sure he'll find a role at a decent L1 club next season now the ITFC door has shut - he's been unfortunate this season that his August deal fell through at very last minute and left him in limbo for months. |
