If he was just not very good but putting the effort in I could accept that. He isn’t running, jumping, tackling or moving. So you can feel bad that people are booing him but maybe he should try a bit harder. I can think of plenty of average players (eg Omerod) that just worked hard and were loved by the fans. To get through bad patches you need hard work but if he isn’t willing to do that then he’s going to remain pony and people will keep judging. It’s football. start putting some effort in and things might change

This is a good point he doesnt look like he is busting a gut but maybe no matter how fast he runs he just is a dude who looks lazy.

I do recall him making lots of runs in 1 game behind defenders for the ball to be played in behind but manning kept turning around and playing it back to CB's maybe he's thought why bother if no one is going to pass it lol

To put it in context, he actually makes Sekou Mara look competent, dynamic and engaged with what is happening on the pitch

Two. He's American and has played for their national team. What's he got to be scared of; the ball?

Maybe we need to start some chants to make him feel more at home.

So on Saturday, a rousing rendition of "We believe that we will win" or "Defense! Defense!" should get him pumped up to score a hat trick.

The Northampton Wall is lacking this kind of US related soccer passion
