Hard to form an opinion on such a short cameo but he does seem to be electrically quick from what I saw.
General thoughts?

Fans wanted pace, well he certainly looks rapid. Let’s see if he can control a football though over the coming weeks

Usain Bolt is quick. He tried to play football...
Not enough time to make an impression. Would prefer to play him through the middle in place of the Welsh wardrobe.
Never occurred to me his pace would be useful for tracking back when our ‘left back’ goes awol.

I don’t think he’s going to make a scrap of difference. Early days obviously, but I get the feeling Stoke and Rabbi are about to have a frustrating six months.

If we stick to the same set up we have been he won't have much of an impact, start using wingers and actually give them some freedom to do something and he might turn out to be a good signing but as you say way too soon.

He was totally isolated so can’t judge a thing.

Don't think we will see the best of him until both Powell and Fletcher are playing at the same time.

Very little time to make an impact but when he actually got hold of the ball it was plain to see he wants to carry it and take people on and we’re crying out for that. Has to start against Blackburn in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 but there’s no point subjecting him to the dreaded 5-3-2.

We've got no one to give him the pass to run onto.

Think he could certainly do a job in a Campbell type role out wide, looking to drift inside, but wasted being stuck narrow in this system without someone up top who he can play off.

In the best case scenario.....he runs past 4 defenders at full pelt gets to the byline....perfect cross.....AND then what?

You could see his pace from that recovery run near the end of the game where he caught their player up from 10 years behind. In a proper set up with players like Powell and Fletcher around he'll be decent I'm sure.

Hard to judge him.
Looked lost today. Certainly has pace.

He had to track back because he got a bollocking off Billy Mckinlay minutes earlier when he failed to track back and follow Albrightons run. Billy's voice was deafening inside the stadium.

Why would our winger need to track their winger? Seems harsh.

Why would our winger need to track their winger? Seems harsh. Because he pretty much walked past him. Moan about Jimmy Mac all you want but he will always track back and cover his mistakes.

I honestly couldn’t give a shit about him tracking back. I don’t judge wingers on their tracking back and don’t get why anyone would. And tbh McClean let’s his man go way too often when he’s playing as a winger so not the best choice.

If him and Powell can find the same wavelength quickly then we might see some real benefits. Early balls are going to be key for this lad.

Possibly be easier to judge out wide in a 4-2-3-1 formation!!! 🤷🏼♂️

He can be as quick as he want’s if there’s no one to put the ball in the back of the net it doesn’t matter.
