Hi lads, City fan here. I've seen Tammy's 3 first games at the club, and a couple things I feel about him:
1. He's a great athlete. 6'3" at 18 and got a fair bit of pace about him too. This has meant defences have struggled against him thus far for us. We have another striker with somewhat comparable attributes (Jonathan Kodjia), and they look like a dangerous duo together. They will learn to link up better in time, but Tammy has made some great runs off the ball when his partner has possession. Unfortunately in the last game (in which he scored twice & won us the game) we were hitting his head a lot with long goal kicks - I personally feel he is better at receiving the ball to feet.
2. He is positive. Always good to see young players pick the ball up, turn, and threaten the opposition. He does exactly this, which is good as whenever he gets on the ball he is a threat to the opposition. As a striker should be, he is happy to run at defenders and look to do anything to get in a goalscoring situation. We were 1-0 down to Wigan, and playing some pretty horrific stuff when he came on to make his debut. His presence completely changed the way we were playing which was amazing to see from an 18 y/o.
3. He's a clinical finisher. While he's far from a 'limited' striker, he has also showed that he can move off the ball and position himself well in the box. 3 of his 4 goals have been from very close range, and his goalscoring instinct inside the box is also very good. He has finished off all of the clear-cut chances I can remember (though I may well have forgotten something) and as I said, has a pretty cool head in front of goal.
4. He's a fan favourite already. The City fans love him, and he has his name chanted throughout the game. He's well spoken in interviews, and seems to genuinely be pleased to have joined our club on loan. The manager is a big fan of him (stating how he met Tammy's family in order to bring him in) and he seems to get on really well with everyone at the club.
So overall, great so far. Of course I am making these conclusions after only 3 games so things may well change, but I hope you'd appreciate a bit of an update from someone who has seen him play so far this season.
And here's to you beating Rovers in the Cup
