Yeh I do to, just need to give him simple instructions , run hard , tackle hard , look for an off load , I don't want to see him with ball in hand in set plays to often , tried and tested , he's not good enough

I thought mini had a really strong running game last night but remains to be seen if he can stay fit. Certainly looks in better shape than many players younger than him
Can't disagree with you Jake regarding Mini's form. Like Ellis, a consummate professional. As you say, keeping him fit is the key. I would imagine there's a little more to it but it's good to know that they have such a strong working relationship. Sometimes at the top you need a strong right hand man and to be able to concede the odd point if it's the right thing to do.

He needs to be told to run for the posts and not appoint himself as first receiver on every play. Just hope Radders can manage him well enough to get him fitting in with our style.
Two significant benefits to him coming back are he was always a vocal presence in the pack which we seem to be missing when Taylor is off/blowing.
Second is his absolutely massive boot, although I'm not sure he'd be much better than Connor at goal kicking.

I'm just going to put my trust in AP, LR and Gaz Ellis I've had that much egg on my face over the last four years, I should know better by now. Radders can't be that much of a bully, and he must be generating a good atmosphere at the club, as ex players are eager to return and play for him. Abdul hasn't convinced me to be honest. As JTP alluded to, he's caught between being a back and a forward and is not convincing as either. Anyone who spits their dummy out won't last long at FC now.
The deal is all in our favour so we have nothing to lose. Hope he gets fit and does the business for us.
