Well, the intelligence for the second to just step away and then go against a short full back was excellent, as for the third, super first touch even better second.
He has quality which shines out at this level, so I'm sure he'll step up easily. Good in the air, works hard and brave, but in addition he has a good first touch and skills on the ball. An excellent all round target man.
I was thinking back to what I posted on this thread in February.
Since then his play has made me more convinced that he could easily play at the highest level. His age is probably against him.
Powelly made some great signings this season but for me he has been the stand out one. I can't think of a more inspired signing that we have made in my time as a fan, especially as most of us had never heard of him or had one a vague recollection of his faux-pas at Leicester.
As BWP has said, the guy is a beast, but more than that he is also a very accomplished footballer.
I think the lad will be fine in The Championship, he has the technique and power to deal with the step up. He may even benefit from a full preseason programme and hit the ground running.

He should now have the nickname "Eric"
Love the guy, POTY for me

I hope we can extend his stay beyond next season.
