Lee Johnson has been speaking about the start made by young German winger Leon Dajaku, the deadline day loan signing has already netted twice for the Lads and the gaffer hopes he can continue his positive.
“I think we’ve only just scratched the surface at the minute with Leon Dajaku, if you remember, he didn’t have a pre-season at all in terms of games, and physically he was quite a way behind the other players who had been with us through that period of time in pre-season and the first five or six games leading into the closing of the window. It’s been a little bit stop-start. He’s only had one start in the league, which was Portsmouth away, which we’ve already declared a bit of a write-off. That’s almost an impossible game to judge any player on. What we’ve seen is that the work ethic is there, the willingness to run in behind and close down. We’ve seen the enthusiasm, and we’ve also obviously seen the technical ability with the two finishes that he’s scored, both with his left foot. I think there’s improvements to make in his all-round game, in terms of the big picture, with his back to goal. I think he can tidy up a little bit, but his energy, enthusiasm and undoubted skillset can be a real asset to the squad. Hopefully, with Lynden Gooch back really soon, it’ll give us that difficult decision of which wingers to pick.”
