I'm not trying to rain on a parade here. The kid clearly has loads of potential. But he's had one truly effective half season in the last two seasons, and that's really it. I would suspect he'll be asked to do more here than he was at Cardiff, just hitting cross after cross won't do. He'll need to play more, and think more while he's doing it. Defensively he is virtually non-existent as well, and given the fans treatment of certain other players here, he could end up getting grief for that side of things. I hope not like but it happens unfortunately. Did Cardiff play wingbacks with him? I’m fairly sure Blackburn played a flat back 4 which doesn’t allow so much attacking freedom. We need Giles to attack more, get to the byline like Jones of bring the ball into the box. Jones created so many chances by going to the byline or just past the last defender and cross the ball often low and hard. Link to post Share on other sites

Jones created so many chances by going to the byline or just past the last defender and cross the ball often low and hard. It does make the point that part of whether a player is a success is the system he plays in. For Cardiff he played 21 times with 9 assists. They seem to have played a mix of 3-5-2 and 4-2-3-1 with him playing left wing-back or left wing. For Blackburn he played 10 times with 1 assist but didn't play in a settled position or formation. Blackburn were also having Mogga's traditional new year nightmare. Like Jones, he seems ideally suited to be an attacking wing-back/winger. He's probably a better crosser than Jones but we're not a team that focuses on crosses into the box so it'll come down to how good he is at picking the right pass. On paper he seems like the perfect pick for LWB. His loan history is good enough to indicate that he is Premier league quality when used right and he has enough experience now that this season really ought to be his breakout season. You can't guarantee anything in football, but this looks like a A+ loan for the year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Did they sign him when he was in the final year of his contract with Preston? I think it was in a January transfer window too. £4m still an inflated valuation, if genuine though.
