Totally agree with you here.I have had a complete change of opinion of Matt Jay this season. Prior to the season starting I wasn't all that impressed and felt that he'd probably be released at the end of the season. How wrong was I!
What impresses me most is how he finds the space to allow him to pick his pass. He's a nightmare to mark as he doesn't stay as a forward nor does he hang in midfield. He's much like Firmino in the way he creates space for himself and others.
His stats are actually better than Nicky Laws per minutes on the pitch, and as much as I love Law, I think MJ currently keeps him out the team.
He's got great technique on his shots. Gets over the ball well. Goal vs Colchester last season a case in point. Collins similar.I seem to remember Tisdale saying that he was the most technically able player in the squad (at that time anyway) and you can see this in that everything he does is usually done accurately. That's probably not a very good way to describe it but i'd have thought things like his pass completion and shots on target stats are pretty good.
