That's fair enough, but an awful lot of pro football now is based around pressing the opposition from the front.

Stansfield is such a good example of a player with great energy, Nombe too.
Pressing isn't about being quick, it's about being smart, cutting angles off and funnelling the opposition into areas you want. The 4-0 beating of the Gargs was a great example of pressing intelligently. We had Bowman, Lee Martin and Nicky Law in the forward areas that day, none of them especially known for pace.

Looks like this loan is doing exactly what its supposed to. Looking at the stats he didn't start off by scoring lots, but given more game time he has grown in confidence and understanding, so when he does come back he will be a better player.
