Given that he's only played about 30 minutes for us so far it's hard to judge him fairly yet me thinks.

Bruno couldn't jump either but he did us well as a target man for yonks.

Not judging his overall ability or the contrbution he might make but I think it's fair to say given his height he isn't going to be the most prolific header of a ball we have had

I find some of the comments on here a bit strange, because my recollection is that he won nearly every ball played to him both on the floor and in the air, AND he held on o it and used the ball well. If you anticipate and get yourself in a good position as the ball is played to you, you don't always have to get that far off the ground to win it, and that's what he did in that game - I can remember him flicking at least 2 or 3 good balls on to team - mates. True, nobody is going overboard on one sub appearance, but I've got a quietly confident feeling about the bloke's ability at this level, and I want to see him given a start today.

Don't set yourself up by saying you believe everything Ricco tells you it could be a long season lol
