I've actually liked what I've seen when he's played before. Yes, he's not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination, but he gives us the physical presence and pace that's a tad lacking with Stephens and THB.
I'm hoping that our below par start was mainly down to a somewhat half-baked pre-season and that once we're firing on all cylinders then 'normal service' will resume.
We need to address the large Shea Charles sized gap in midfield pronto though...
If we were 7 points off an auto-promotion spot around Christmas, we'd probably fancy our chances of closing the gap, so nowhere near panic stations yet...
Yeah, but Tonda can't possibly ignore the 'stats computer', which no doubt indicated that Larin should only play a set number of minutes, regardless of how well he was playing...
It's the modern game, innit...
