Looked promising. Always on the move and searching for space in behind - should prove a handful for defences.

Agree he is very pacey not sure we will see many goals but as long as he provides for others, thought he faded after about 60-mins

Don't wait for me!
Looks an intelligent player, full of pace, knows how to be a team player. I'm never going to call him Rodney though.
Don't think so. Reminded us more of Hoskins. Really enjoyed him today, and if we could have slid the ball through he would have been dangerous.

Ha ha. What, in that he breathed? Looks like a class player, not some numb nut 'I'm pleased we got the 3 points' ( AB after an FA Cup replay win)!!

And it's all gone quiet..
This. 'Spanish Rodney' is the worst nickname I've ever heard.
I agree. this player is something very special !!!
Can we keep him
Iniital impressions, he is better than Peter Ward on his debut , and I saw that at Hereford.
Did not fade. Got better as the game went on, after 61 mins especially.

Nice to see he's ambidextrous which you don't see much these days and a quality every footballer would love to have.

We fans will like his pace and movement, a thumbs up. Disappointed he didn't shoot when he had the goal in sights though - does he have a good goal-scoring record or is he more of an assist guy?

Very impressed - worked hard and seems to have a footballing brain. He didn't seem fazed by the home debut, unlike Stephens who I am sure will come good but just seemed to lack some confidence

It's close, but I reckon Spanish Len is the worst, at least Rodriguez is actually from Spain.

Its All Too Beautiful
Reminded me in some ways of Conway, was certainly looking for the ball a lot, pity the midfield never saw the ball he was looking for yesterday. I'm trusting his understanding with everyone will get better.

Did Wardy score in that game?

Agree with that. Considering how little time the front 6 from yesterday have actually played together I thought they looked pretty fluid at times, when it all clicks they could be dangerous.

I do realise that this won't prove a widespread view, but what SD*2 really needs when playing wide left or right is an on-form SD*1 playing in the midfield three. He's the player with the vision and technique to spot his runs and pick out the pass behind their defence.

Didn't score though, did he?

We said something similar. Middle three of Ince, Andrews and SD1 (provided SD1 has his passing boots on...)

I think Kemy could play this role very well too, he's a very intelligent and talented player but something really hasn't clicked with him since he's arrived

Agree about SD*1 requiring his passing boots. Think Stephens deserves another look instead of Andrews. And DFP: I do agree about Agustein. Many on here are really down on both SD*1 and Agustein. The former has hardly played in the centre, where he shined for much of last season, whereas the latter really needs a few games in a row to show us what he can do. I also agree that Oscar and Nathan don't seem to want to risk him.
