I'm glad the reports from the weekend state that the lad had a good game. I was worried that after the penalty miss against Rochdale that his head might drop but by all accounts, the opposite was true.

'That' reverse pass for Armstrongs 2nd goal as well....simply sensational and not a lot has been mentioned about that. You'll struggle to see a better assist or a better pass even, in the remainder of the season. Vision and the technical ability of that pass was as important for that goal as the finish itself.

What's more pleasing is that the lad isn't a loanee and is on a contract. Here's hoping he'll continue to develop under TM and his team and become an integral part of a promotion winning side.

Agreed. He's looked a decent signing so far. The delay to the pass as Armstrong was offside at the first attempt showed great intelligence...

Bang on. That pass was unbelievable, but more important was that he had the vision to see that Armstrong was offside so delaying his release of the ball. Agree that it's important he had a good game, as I thought he was lacking confidence.
Do you know how long his contract was? Was it just a year?

2 years I think. It'll be fine though...he'll sign a new contract before we kick off our first season back in the Premiership!

He'll be the overall stand out player this season I think. Great technical ability and vision plus he looks like my mate

Not so sure myself. I'm sure we'll all admire his silky skills and he'll be a match winner some days and he'll be a fans favourite, but I am not convinced he is going to be a really consistent week in week out player for us, or even always be on the first 11 team sheet.

For me I think the standout and key players this season are going to be Ricketts, Vincelot and Armstrong (for as long as we can keep hold of him).

Hope I'm wrong and he is the stand out player for us, but I just can't see it and can't see him as a match winner on a weekly basis.

Let's see what he's like on a cold muddy night in Doncaster in the middle of winter.

It's all about opinions Otis and this one mine and hour's differ
You do have a point about playing through the winter months, pitch condition etc
Some have remarked he needs to bulk, don't think it's going to happen nor Is It essential.
I think we've got a super skillful player who could easily play in higher league.
For me he's been a steal, early days though.

Yeah but none of them look like any of my mates.

It will be a while before we are playing Doncaster in the middle of winter :)

Outstanding pass, and superb awareness by both him and Armstrong ( Armstrong for seeing he was off and then going again)

Really impressed by his work rate and attitude. He has the ability to stick his foot in and nick the ball from opponents, sometimes to regain possession often just to slow down or disrupt an opposition move. One of the great things about Saturday was the way that Lameiras and the other flair players were not intimidated by the Millwall tactics which consisted of being in our team's face and kicking lumps from them when they could. Lameiras and the others kept looking for the ball and weren't fazed by the treatment they got. After Millwall, a cold night in Doncaster wouldn't put him off I don't think.

Huckerby lost just a little bit of his zip for us when Strachan got him to bulk up so no, not always the ideal thing to do.

Was glad to see his team mates rush to celebrate with him. Must have really helped him to get over that penalty miss.

I do like the look of him. Very talented, quick footed, links up well with the other younger players, doesn't seem out of sorts, and almost like he's come through playing with the other players in the academy rather than only being around them a matter of mobths

Has he not lived in the UK since around aged 10 so must have played in poor weather and the cold before, did we not sign him after he had spent some time in tropical Sweden:thinking about:

Lameiras' mum was at the game Saturday, with his little brother.

I heard she said that the goal would have meant a lot to him, because he was released by Millwall.
Is this true? As I see no mention of Millwall on his history?
This is second hand information, so I don't know if true or not.

Razored by Millwall maybe?

Probably as they jeered every time he got possession.

Dw, I wasn't sure myself :)

Would have been a massive middle finger to them when he scored :laugh:
Indeed! good for him, I think TM has found a little gem!

Skillful players can go one of two ways. They can either wither at the bully-boy tactics, or they can think 'you're only kicking me because I'm better than you'. They want to be kicked because it means they're getting under the other team's skin. That latter mindset is what sets apart the David Silva's from the Stewart Downing's. Not that I'm directly comparing them, but you get the gist.
