There were times he was having to feed off balls that weren't great quality into him."He was fighting against two big centre-halves, which was obviously making it difficult for him. I think we have to probably get the ball in better areas, play more to his strengths."It's his first taste of being up here, it's only his second game in the league. It's probably more about other people doing a wee bit more to support him and getting the ball into areas that we know he can be dangerous."We've seen it in training already, we've seen it in some of the pre-season games.
