Alright ladies and gents,

Preston fan here - hope this is OK to post, but if not feel free to remove.

Been checking here during/after most games since Mikey joined, and it’s seemed unanimously negative where the lad’s been concerned - seen a few posts suggesting he’s not ready for men’s football, and he’s a bit lightweight. Was wondering if that opinion is based on odd key moments in games, or whether it’s been a constant whenever he’s played?

He’s been really strong in our academy for a good 18 months and has played 4 or 5 games for our senior side - mainly off the bench late on in games - but hasn’t been given a real chance as yet so I’m interested to see how he’s got on with you. I did notice he didn’t make the bench a few games in a row.

Anyway - all the best for the rest of the season, and here’s hoping next season is a successful one

Hasn’t been given much of a chance. Hasn’t taken it when he has.

He had a great start at swindon but has been ineffective ever since.his cameo at Northampton is already the stuff of legend.15 minutes when he didnt do anything successfully , air shots, shanks, completely missed headers, he was brilliantly awful. Completely ineffective again tonight

Very poor player - clearly has some technical ability but mostly spends his time anonymously drifting around. On the few occasions the ball comes to him he usually loses possession. Do not rate him at all.

Aye, I’d seen on flashscores he’d only come on for a 10/15 min block at the end of games, and your Twitter admin rarely mentioned him. Hopefully he’ll come back and get himself stuck right into training - we’re confident he’s got what it takes, and plenty of loan spells are real baptisms of fire for young lads so hopefully his spell with you had done him good. Was hoping he’d have shone mind!

Cheers for the replies 👌🏻

I’m not sold by his football ability but he’s gone down a storm at Barracuda’s ‘Saved By The Bell’ night.

He’s gone as Screech every Saturday night and won every week.

Dustin Diamond in the rough but another loan more likely than a perm.

Clearly has some technical ability....seems to have that "lazy" style of play which doesn't look good in a team of grafters and certainly  isn't physically ready.

All in all a bit of a flop loan hence why he has hardly had any game time.  When he comes on I really don't think anyone is thinking "this will give us that extra bit of zip"

Probably more suited to the space granted at Championship level than the physicality of League 2.

He is just a kid though. Could turn out great given time, who knows….

Decent player with time and space but we don't often get that.
I'd agree he'd be better on loan in league 1.
