Much like Springett then

I've not been hugely impressed by Springett this season so far, but he is more robust that Wellens.

Wellens creates more !

Springett has one assist this season. Wellens has none.

Think his "Chances created" stats flatter to deceive - likely because he's on set pieces.

We will see who does more with the ball over the remainder of the season

I'm willing to be charitable and say he knows he has no chance, so the best he thinks he's can do is jump in the hope it puts the opponent off.

He's a young, inexperienced player - needs more time.

Would like to see him take on his man more often, needs to be a bit more physical too, but can't fault his effort. Reminds me of a younger version of Theo.

Yeah, that's a good shout.
