I don't know how to post twitter clips on here, but there was a wonderful one yesterday of him in the dugout when the final whistle went. He was absolutely delighted. Just like any of us would have been at his age. Brilliant to see.

That's the one mate.

Was just attempting it myself when I saw you'd done it.

He is even taking the time to try and reply to people on Twitter.
A really nice and grounded young man.
Only issue now, is that he is on alot of club's radars.

thats not an issue. thats exactly what the dof wants and has constantly promoted throughout all those fans meetings.

buy them cheap, develop them, then sell them on for a good profit.

What like Manning, Luongo and Freeman were / are ?

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Delighted for the kid.

Extremely promising start & despite the deflection from the defender it was a fantastic run & shot to score.

Now let's give him time to mature & not have the QPR media team spouting about him 24 hours a day putting undue pressure on the lad.

[Linfield 1886]

His size will be a problem when he slows down. It'll be a good few years till that happens, till then there's plenty of strikers that made a living just being quick, Owen, Defoe, Vardy to name 3.

Very true. He also has a talent for levelling defenders twice his size whether he gets booked for it or not

[LoftusRoadLad]

Amazing debut right out of Roy Of The Rovers book.
Paul scored that goal in the 72nd min and still had bags of pace and a great smile.

[Stanley]

Tony Cottee was small too and what a career he had.

Lets not get too carried away - anyone remember Tom Hitchcock?

Unfair to compare the two really. Hitchcock's goal was a simple tap-in and didn't do a lot else in that game. Smyth OTOH was motm and played superb.

Thanks for the inside track on him Linfield 1886

What we need now is for ollie to not have coaches from interfering with his game and over coach him and don't have any labels stuck on him he's a winger he's an inside forward , let him play his game as a loose forward across the front line
Our forwards don't seem able to let their games flow it's my guess they are over coached ( over cooked ) and unable to play with freedom

Dogs, we're in complete agreement on this point.
