Was that the PSV game? I thought he apparently played well?

No mate, he started the league match at home against Twente. A 0-0 thriller :). It was last Saturday, he was hauled after an hour.
A little bit the team needing a bit more experience to try and score, a little bit his first match and beginning to tire.
As i said though, first match, plenty of time, he did not look out of place, just did not stand out.

Yeah, I heard that was a nothing game. He played in the 3-2 defeat though at PSV and was apparently a lot better, dictating stuff and involved in a lot. Their fans certainly seemed impressed.

I have not seen that game PSV, so that is good news.
Like i said though, first match etc etc i was just reporting back and filling in a gap rather than saying what the future may hold.
Hopefully i will see him this weekend and i can add a bit more.

I think with Jack we could well see him improving a lot during his spell there. Lets be honest if Jack plays 20 to 30 games on loan that will benefit him and his first real taste of man football. Hes only 19 so lets be honest next season I can see him back out on loan and maybe to a team with a better squad more of a test for him to get into the squad and he will improve more and more.
Ireland play in the Under 21s on Friday against Lithuania and I expect Jack will play a major part in that. I also think the more game time Jack gets the more of a chance he will get a game or 2 for Irelands first team. Were crying out for new players and by the time Jack is back at the club full time he could well be in double figures with caps for Ireland depending on him going back out on loan next season.

Last two matches he has been hauled off after an hour but i think that is to ease him in rather than anything he has done wrong.

He is getting the starts though so he must be doing well in training.

I think a better word than 'haul' may be appropriate if he hasn't performed poorly.

Last two matches he has been given a blow job from the team fluffer, after an hour but i think that is to ease him in rather than anything he has done wrong.

Is that ok?

Watched him this afternoon for Ireland against the Italian under 21s he played well got taken off with 5 minutes to go. Match was good Italy going down to 10 men and holding onto a 1-0 win in Italy. He played 2 games for the Under 21s over this international break and he done very well.

Yeah my mate was at the first under 21 game during the week and said Jack looked class

Thats the thing with Jack he needs to be playing man football as they call it. He will get better with the more and more games he plays in the Dutch league. I hope next season Jack continues his experience at another European club were he will be tested a bit more to get into there team but i just think Jack will get better and could well be the a squad player if he continues to progress in the next 2 years he could be a option.
