What a performance from the lad - he is a genuine threat every time he gets on the ball, uses it well, prepared to take defenders on whilst not running down blind alleys and clearly can finish - very unlucky with the pitch causing that heavy touch when in on goal. A genuine game changer.
He took the goal really well didn’t he. I was speaking to someone the other day about him and they said he needs a bit of “managing”. Not necessarily in a bad way but to keep him focussed etc. Grant having worked with him before must help regarding this.

It was quality all round, the pass, the touch and the finish.

Not a set piece, scramble, horror defending or anything like that.

He took the goal superbly well given the conditions & state of the pitch too.I was talking to my postman the other day & he said his xg’s weren’t that great but felt that perhaps that was down to lack of confidence & belief in his abilities having been chopped & changed at the clubs he’s been at. We both agreed that Grant was obviously someone who knew & trusted him well enough (having brought him to Hull when there) & Adelakun would respond to that trust. He certainly has so far & I’d like us to be able to give him a contract come the end of the season as I don’t think (maybe Hurst ‘on his day’) we have a player currently on the books who can offer that turn of pace & ability to score those types of goal.My postie also said that Joe’s goal against Tranmere was also a ‘nice clean goal’, with the delivery from Haks being nigh on perfect & let’s face it, he should know all about deliveries no pun intended!(It was actually).
When's his contract up at Lincoln?
I don’t much care for our throw ins either side, lately by Senior & Sterry.Senior takes an age, mind you it doesn’t help with the lack of movement of players to receive the ball, & Sterry’s throws more often than not go backwards thus negating any chance of attacking momentum.Don’t we practice throws as part of our ‘dead ball’ situations in training?
