So what do you make of Silvio Spann? I’m only asking because I’ve still got no idea what to think of him!He’s enjoying a rare run in the side, and I’m glad to see it. After all, we’re not going to be able to judge his value unless we have a good look at him. The trouble is, having seen him playing week-in week-out I’m still none the wiser!
There are moments when you feel he has a bit more quality than the players around him, but does he really get close to delivering on his promise and potential often enough?
Take the Altrincham game. There are those who were furious he was withdrawn so early, with less than ten minutes of the second half gone, and I can understand that as there were little flashes of promise from him.
However, I can’t say I was terribly surprised he got the hook as he was awfully peripheral. He had the odd moment, but it wasn’t sustained by any stretch of the imagination, and to miss that glorious chance Anoruo provided for him by dallying and not getting a shot in when he was heart-broken two days earlier over two similar but tougher chances he squandered at Oxford because he hesitated was very disappointing.
I don’t know if I want Dean Saunders to keep faith in him or not, and equally I’ve no idea if Deano’s giving him a run to help him bed into a new position or if he’s taking a good hard look
before deciding whether or not to pay him off.
before deciding whether or not to pay him off.The thing is, I suspect I still won’t have made my mind up about the enigmatic Silvio when he finally leaves us, whenever that might be.
