Sanguinekwik-silvaSanguine 42 appearances, 4 goals. Blackman makes early Shane Long look prolific.
He's not played many full games, and a lot of those have been out on the wing, though.
Likewise most of Long's appearances were as a sub in his first few seasons. You've got to make more of an impact than Blackman does - he rarely contributes, nevermind actually change a game. Sure, he might come good, but it's really difficult to see it happening. At least Long had pace, which he eventually married up to some ball control and positional sense. Blackman doesn't really have any of that.
Yeah of course! Thought he looked great against Wigan when he came on, some a nice run or two. Plus he didn't look awful in December/January. Scored 4, assisted one. Compared to Jobi (2g,1a), and Royston (2g,1a) that's not an awful return.
