Logan might not be the wonder kid we were hoping for but I still rate him as the most dangerous player behind Senior, you can tell his confidence has gone a bit, and who can blame him. Play him for at least 5 straight games so he can find his feet again.
When the balls gets to Logan the rest of the team seem to stop and show no support to him, he tears down into the corner, all that is needed is for someone to follow behind ready for the back pass and then cross. He is one of very few prones of attack we have and we need to make the most of him.
I agree with this, apart from Senior he is our only player capable of beating a man, he's also our only other player with any real pace, something which we lack badly! He may not be the complete article, but he is the kind of player that will give things a go and will win corners / drive us into the opposition 3rd etc etc. I agree he needs more support though, there were numerous times against the green slime that he would penetrate forward and no Alty player would be near him and we invairably lost the ball after being outnumbered! However this may also be down to the fact that he has a tendency to put his head down and run into blind alleys, even so he needs to be played these next few games, especially as Senior will be missing!
I agree give Logan a run, he has the ability but now lacks any confidence. But id play him down the middle at centre forward and see how it works while Senior is suspended.
Totally agree with the above and am mystified why many on here give Logan such a hard time.

Yet again whenever he got in a position to cross there was literally not one of our players in a position to receive the ball. It staggers me that anyone here can criticize his final ball when our players can't even be bothered to get in the box and if they can can't be arsed or don't know how to lose their marker - I'd gladly sit down with any of you with a DVD of the game so you can point out to me exactly who was in a position to receive the ball on the occassions that Logan got in a position to cross.
To add insult to injury when he got himself into a corner (second half) not one Alty player offered himself for the pass back.
Logan's confidence has taken a knock and I don't see how the uninformed slating (IMO) he gets on here helps.
Clearly some see the game differently, but I've made this point before and will make it again
As a team we have no idea about running off the ball. There may be a fitness issue, but I'm now thinking it's a total lack of guile, and knowing how to read the game. I've watched football for years and have never seen a team consistently fail to get players in the box when a team mate is in a position to cross - I find it totally staggering! And then the one player we have that can beat a man and get a cross in gets slated for not having a 'final product' Unbefrickinlievable!
I now don't think it makes any difference if Logan plays or not - we could have Sean Wright-Phillips on the wing - it would make no difference because the way we play or should I say 'don't play' as a team, makes any positive contribution from Logan worthless.
