Average overall. He’s been awful for parts and he’s done really well for parts. His ‘wondergoal’ that was an goalkeeper’s own goal has completely clouded rational debate on his performances.
Needs to improve his work rate if he wants to make it at the top level.
Serious post or a wum?
Hope we can sign some more ‘average’ players next season.
Yeah, hsve to agree re Man City goal, goalie threw it in his own net, it’s not like Jamie saw him off his line and had the vision and ability to score from the half way line, is it!
The guy is only going to get better, 7 goals and 7 assists this season is a very healthy return. He will do very well.

Was awful at the beginning and comments made later on confirmed the initial thoughts on here and elsewhere that he wasn't putting the hard graft in and almost threw the dummy out when Richie challenged that in what sounds like no uncertain terms.
Fortunately sounds like he had some wise voices around advising him and since then has been a positive influence on the side with some standout moments of quality. Just needs to keep feet on the ground and keep working hard as he moves up the leagues.
It wasn't just the man city goal that's caught attention. The volley at Wrexham was phenomenal. The pass for Azeem goal at Exeter too (and his own goal in that game). A Kroos -like freekick goal. And so on.

Thanks for reminding us Jamie.
Sorry, was replying to post that said "His ‘wondergoal’ that was an goalkeeper’s own goal has completely clouded rational debate on his performances." Didn't realize there was another screen full of comments.

He didn’t though, the ball hit the crossbar then hit the keeper and went in.
He’s had more bad games for Orient than he has good. As I said, he’s been very good at times but that purple patch in Jan into Feb is not reflective of the whole season, slthough you seem to think it is
Quite often players that don’t stand out during EFL loan spells look another level when surrounded by or playing against players from the top level. Donley I think will be one of them.

Nobody is denying he had a bad start, although some, myself included, could see there was a player there.
But the concepts of development and progression seem to have passed you by. But there we are.
