Impressive. Perhaps explains his lack of game time thus far.

No wonder he's lost weight. Saw him shopping in Aldi and he was on the phone discussing what to buy, with who I presume were other Town players he is in digs with. Had a basket with a very sparse amount of basics.

Seriously though, he's clearly dedicated and this shows that the path from part time to full is not just about footballing talent. Players need time to adjust and adapt.

I think I'd be hungry too if I'd lost 14kg in 7 weeks

I saw him and Sisay in Lidl on Sunday. Looked to be stocking up on chicken and rice.

You've raised a good point. He's done well though to get a contract here coming from non league.

Having said that hope he finds his level. I would love it to be with us as that mindset is the type I love.

To often Ive read  from youth team managers though who have worked with youth players for four, five ,six  years and sometimes even more  who have given it there all to try to make it  but  it breaks their  hearts to have to tell the player there not good enough at the end of their tenure in academy's at varying levels from premiership to league 2. Some fritter out the game but others stick at it and find their position at someplace in the football hierarchy. Likewise the failure rate is really high. A excellent  book I read a while back listed below highlights how tough it is to make it at any level in football even in league 2.

"Only 180 of the 1.5 million boys who play organised youth football in England will become a Premier League pro. That’s a success rate of 0.012 per cent."

Our seven loan players have the support, expertise and cotton wool wrapping of their parent clubs to fall back on. Sisay, Jackson Jnr, Gibson and Spokes have to largely rely on their ambition and resilience to help them through a daunting transition. Hopefully, they are forming bonds during and outside of training which enable some glimpses of humanity within the current madness. Good luck to all our young 'uns.

Well done the lad, the funny thing is I liked the size of him when we signed him!!!  Thinking he was a striker with some physicality, I assume it wasn't muscle and for his style of play a leaner player is needed
