Not sure what this lad needs the carrot or the stick. But he has the potential but not yet the physiology. Fingers crossed Stubs can get in his head and make him the menace and handful we know he can be.
I have to disagree on the physiology point - he's got all he needs physically, for me it would be the psychology that's missing and a genuine desire to play here and not be doing us a favour. When he's 'on' he looks amazing and knocks the opposition about but he switches off too much and pads around like a bored lion in a cage at a zoo.
Correct you can teach everything, even psychology, but you cant force them to use it. If he hasn't the character to be in the profession he's in by his own omission, he'll drop out like a stone. That will be his choice, plenty more fish... - ball is in his court. Not fussed either way to be honest

I think thats down to immaturity NY. As you say, does he have the genuine desire to play for us, if thats missing then he is missing a trick, cutting his nose off to spite his face. If he had a more mature attitude he'd be ripping his gonads off every game to shine and put himself in the spotlight to attract attention from bigger more glamourous outfits. Its down to him really, if he doesn't grow up quick he'll end up in the Conference or worse.
If Stubbs can get his head in gear a major asset if not a wages millstone round our neck. Hope he can have a full season like the first 1/2 dozen games of last season

"PFA Transfer News - Bringing you the latest transfer news. It ain't real or ITK, it's all *******s, but people will still believe or bite. Could prob get a job working for @TheSun"
On Clarke-Harris I sincerely the hope the lad comes good this season, he has all the attributes to be a top striker if he wants it. I hpe Stubbs can bring out what we know is there.
I'm obviously in the minority but I think he is brilliant but just lacks a manager who has the confidence to give him a run of games. If he had the same chances as Derbyshire last year he would have got double Matt's goals. One terrible penalty miss doesn't make you a bad player. Ask Ronaldo.
