“Great. He’s doing a job for us, and will always have a goal in him if it drops in the box,” said one fan.
Another added: “Shows commitment from him when there is a relegation risk and that he is up for a fight on the Championship, which hopefully we won’t need.
“If managed right can be a useful addition to the squad,” wrote another.
One comment read: “No brainer really. Works if we stay up as an impact sub, or more than likely a starter if we go down. Good player to have around the place either way.”
“Too right,” said one supporter.
