Kurtis is quite young, (18 i think), and is obviously still developing phyisically. I wasn't at Plymouth but by all accounts he played well. I saw the long range shot that hit the post on TV which clearly indicates that he can strike a ball. I have seen him play a number of time this season and although he does get "muscled" off the ball by big centre halves he will develop in due course and certainly improve this area of his game. I think Coley and Jimmy will feed him lots of meat and get him doing loads of Gym work and he will be a different player in a year or so. At the moment he is being asked to play up front and he is getting quite poor service...we still don't have any wing players who can get round the full backs and pull the ball back from the goal line for him to pounce onto, run onto or turn goalward. Paul Mullin was such a great scorer of these kind of goals because he was so well supplied in his best years by the great wingers we had back then. Kurtis needs to be encouraged abd nurtured not criticesd and written off at such a young age. He also has the quality of being a real grafter and he runs and runs and harrasses the opposition far more then some in our current squad. Give the lad a chance...he just needs to score that first goal, build confidence, put on a stone or so in weight and then I think we will see him go on to be a really good player.
Question - When did we last see a Stanley player take on an opposing full back on the outside and pull the ball back for a collegue to run onto and belt it goalwards. I have mentioned it several times over the last couple of years but BRING BACK SOME WINGERS PLEASE!!!
