Think he was let down a bit by the lack of movement/options up front and having to cover Pallardo a lot. Everyone fit, he doesn't start but he's played alright so far this season alongside Gomis,

If he received the ball, he would have taken a bad first touch, two more touches to regain control and then turn in a wee circle and lose possession. Pretty much his contribution to the team imo.
I think when Pallardo is back up to speed and Gomis returns he needs to hold his hands up about his own fitness and the hamstring problem he's been carrying and take himself out the equation until he's 100% again.
Looks a yard off the pace. Can turn a man but doesn't have that ability to get past them and is doubling up on himself trying to shake them. Doesn't look the same player without Gomis and his work rate in beside him.
If we ever need to understand how poor we were under Cathro, then we should remember that there was a point where Prince returning was seen as being a massive positive and difference maker.
