One of the most improved players under Thorn, and that's 'cos he needed a manager who believes in him and gives him confidence. You can tell that when you hear him interviewed. He bad touches tend to be in the first five minutes (nerves, ie youth?) and are increasingly rare-usually no more than any player has per game, and I include King in that.
He doesn't get skinned anymore, makes strong and hard tackles, has had wingers who usually rip us to shreds "in his pocket" (eg McAnuff), gets forward well, can cross, can reach the byline at pace, regularly finds space on the overlap, links well with midfield and is clearly suited to the "pass and move game", and scored one of our goals of the season. Oh, and for his entire football career he has been rated the best Englsih RB at his age group IN THE COUNTRY. Worth thinking about, eh?
I'm more worried that he won't sign the new deal as someone bigger and better than us has spotted he's available for peanuts!
