Hurst will sort him out. Been chasing him for 2 years, so I imagine he knows what he's getting.
Interesting that PH sees him as a winger, so it will be him and JMD fighting it out for a starting place.
I can see JMD not lasting the season if he doesn't address his fitness/stamina issues very quickly. These new additions in that area of the pitch (Wearne, Khan) both look to have good technical quality but also seem very mobile and fit.

Think you are right Tommy. It's up to JMD now to add fitness to his ability, because ability alone isn't good enough. It's evident that our fitness and stamina played a massive part in our promotion and Hurst mentioned JMD wasn't too chuffed to be on the sidelines for the final, but that he told him the reasons why and he needs to respond with hard work if he wants game time.

I wouldn't be surprised if JMD gets shipped out to somewhere like Woking or Dagenham relatively early doors next season. He's never going to be an athlete and, on paper, the lads we've signed seem better bets. JMD has been in the league before and not quite hacked it. I still expect us to sign another winger. With regards Khan and these questions surrounding his attitudes, we heard very similar, if not worse, reports from Scunny fans regarding McAtee. It seems Omar struggles to settle at other clubs. Hursty has got a tune out of the pair of them where virtually everyone else has failed. May look daft in a few months but I think if Hursty can get a tune out of him, and I think he will, he'll look a cut above at this level and defenders won't know how to deal with him. Seen somewhere he has a wicked set piece delivery as well, which as we know can be a massive weapon, especially with Waterfall in the team.

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

I don't think he will go back to Woking!

I’d be very surprised if he went back to Woking after his alleged fibs that enabled his move here in the first place. But for me his a player with quality and end product, and there’s a very good chance we wouldn’t have been promoted without him. He’s going to need to be fitter in League Two, no question about it. So it’s up to him really whether he wants a career at this level (or above), because whatever happens it won’t be a question of ability. A fit and athletic JMD would be a real asset, if such a thing is possible.

Loads of references to JMD becoming fitter, but I just don’t see it.
He was at the club for months, played plenty of minutes, and never looked any fitter. Technically he’s very good, but he’s not particularly quick or mobile, and I can’t see that improving. He’s a good player for us, who has weighed in with plenty of goals and assists, but I would suggest what we have seen so far is probably the finished product.

JMD has a lot of ability. This is probably his last chance as a football league player so hopefully he realises that and gets fit. If he does he'll be plenty good enough for League 2.
