Just wondered what people made of him last season. He's a Player that seems to lack pace but has ability. At home I thought he was quite poor yet when I watched him away live on TV away he seemed to have good games. He's really puzzling?

Is that not as much indicative of the team as a whole?

Personally I thought he showed glimpses of the player he could be. Would like to see more consistency off him next year.

I think he showed qualities the others dont have - -touch' two way dribble and a shot......Speed and confidence when he made a cock up are what needs to be improved.
 
Really like him. Clever player who gets into good positions and has excellent quality on the ball. Sells dummies like nobody’s business.

With a full pre season to get him in optimum physical condition I think he’ll prove to be an excellent player for us.
 
Showed flashes of real quality but for me needs to be tucked in a bit more as I think he does his best work in and around the penalty box and not when hugging the touch line.

did he not get a pre season last summer at Bristol? Was he injured?

He did but he was saying in the LEP that the step up in physicality took time to get used to, and Neil demands higher levels of energy than what he had to do at Bristol Rovers.

Seen you pull people up on this before but every manager demands different things so a pre season under Neil, gearing him towards exactly what Neil wants can only be a positive, no?

The one thing that Bodin lacks is athleticism. Browne’s athleticism has improved massively under AN’s methods, so I’m hoping Bodin’s does too. With a full pre season he should also better understand AN’s tactics and demands. It can only be a positive thing.

I think this is going to be something squad wide. We all noticed how fucked the players seemed to be at Christmas. I think with an extra 12 months of getting used to his coaching style and physical demands will show huge improvement in our all round stamina.

Add to that the extra experience and hopefully some of our naivity in regards to closing out games will also improve.
 
Has the ability to change the course of a game with a bit of skill, quite good in the air as well. AN will likely demand a lot from him in terms of tracking back and work rate. If he gets super fit and is well up for it then he could be a big player for us next season.

Rubbish, athleticism is the major thing he has, it just needs to be channelled properly

I disagree. The major thing that he possesses is technical ability.

The thing that he lacked was athleticism, imo. Looked wooden and sluggish at times for me. However as I said before I’m sure it will improve after a pre season with AN.
 
Was it the Norwich game when he missed that sitter at the back post?

Actually a good job he did, I'm not sure we could have coped with missing out on the PO's by goal difference!
 
I like the lad, just needs to cut out the needless diving (even though it won us 2 penalties!).
 
What’s with all these “athleticism “ comments ? I seem to remember Hayhurst developing a lot of athleticism towards the end of his time here, he ended up looking like the Incredible Hulk, didn’t do him much good did it !
