sorry just realised link doesent work , mixed bag of reviews really

"DD is a good passer of the ball and although he can get stuck in at times you wouldnt class him as a ball winner. He would probably fair better in the championship thn L1 because it took him a long time to adjust/ get finger out to the rigours of L1. Once he had he turned in quite a few MOM performances but dont expect miracles because the name on the label just happens to be manure and he should do ok."

"I think the words 'headless chicken', 'lightweight' and 'can't tackle for toffee' spring to mind.
He's ok, but don't plan a promotion party around him."


"Personally I think he'll thrive in the Championship, I can't understand the stick he gets sometimes, would love him back here! Great passer of the ball, can get stuck in, defiantly a more forward minded player though. Agreed it took him quite a few months to get settled in, but the second half of the season he was easily, with Peltier our most consistent performer. Would be a very good signing IMO."



"Thought he was one of our better, more consistent players in the 2nd half of the season, very comfortable on the ball. Looks like he'll play a lot better with better players around him so think you could have a good signing there for the year."

Doesnt matter what Huddersfield fans make of the lad, DJ has a habit of making players. Hes a proven track record of turning cast off's to quality and getting the best out of them, we have seen that with so many.

I think players vary depending on clubs there at. Things such as , pressure , being away from home (for younger players... Drinkwater is 20) , management style ,training methods a lot of factors. Look at Forlan during his spell at Manchester utd few years back he was awful! , yet this world cup he`s looked 1 of the better players!
