Have to disagree there mate. He hasn't been on form for a good few months now but since he was in the youth team up until near the end of last season he's been very impressive in my opinion. He's shown in the past that he's one hundred percent commited in challenges - he never bottles out. He's got a great shot on him and has scored some very good goals. He can pass the ball well and he'll run all day long up and down the pitch for the team. He's also looked very good off the ball too.
Hopefully he'll kick on after last nights game and find his form again, as I admit he hasn't been his usual self for a little while now. But neither have a lot of the other reserve lads. The only one I'd say who's carried their consistancy on is Darby.
Spearing's a good player with a good attitude and a lot of potential I reckon.
I would agree with you that he has bundles to give in the commitment and aggression departments.
But in all our youth / reserve squad and any other player for that matter, I look for that certain something that makes the player stand out, a la Owen and Gerrard. Maybe I'm being harsh on the lad, and I apologies for that, but I just don't see him no where near a great, that why I used the label "squad player" on him.
Sorry Jay, and everbody else who disagrees with me.
