Like him in this role, strong and attacking, causes defenders problems, we looked a lot more dangerous 2nd half with Alfie up front. |  | | |  |

He's a decent outlet but it doesn't stick brilliantly. I think Kolli is better when the game is tighter, and on a smaller pitch. |  | | |

I just wish he would trust his pace more. Tries to almost dribble passed the defender when sometimes today he could have knocked it passed the last man and ran. He seems unsure and allows the defending team to catch up | | | |

Yeah, I’m never sure where his feet are going to take him and I’m not convinced he does either.
Put in a sterling effort today though, which we really needed. |  | | |

Cannot count the amount of times we simply dribbled into trouble today the whole team was infected with that disease . Dickie wanted no part of Alfie though we should have exploited that more I feel .He is still learning his craft but has a lot of tools just needs a bit of help its hard to be 3 v 1 all the time |  | | |

Yep no doubting he made a difference. Sometimes just needs to go for it. Tough as well and fights for everything. Just knock it passed and run. If he loses it at least the defender is 10 yards furthur back and he can close them down. Towards the end when Smyth came off would have liked Alfie to go out why and have Frey bully Dickie for a few minutes | | | |

Yep,the one time he knocked it past Dickie he was clear. We should have tried that more because Lloyd was going to win every time. |  |

Unlike Armstrong, he has a touch and technique to work with, that is improving game on game. He is already a real handful with his pace and power. But his dribbling ability at full pelt is what differentiates him. Puts himself about as well, and showing signs of being able to lead the line as a sole #9. Got real potential if can bring it all together in the next couple of seasons. | | | |

Limited, long way from being a starter......no better that Armstrong. Perhaps as he gets older he will get better, big maybe. | | | |

It does look as if he's borrowed someone else's feet sometimes alright.
He did well today. Once he copped that he had Dickie for pace, he gave him a really tough time. |  |

I would have said his touch and technique - or lack thereof - is his entire problem. He can’t trap the ball, demonstrated in the second half against Oxford where he tried to put his foot on the ball, missed it and it rolled out for a throw in.
He has a wonderful attitude and some great physical traits but I cannot see a footballer in him in a million years. The ball is just never under control. |  | | |

I think both Lloyd and Kolli have a lot of potential given a chance. |  |

He shows the signs of someone coming into the academy system late as technically needs improving however he can be an effective player with his pace, physicality & enthusiasm.
Away from home, his ability to run the channels and push the team forward, as he demonstrated today, is useful. |  | | |

Love his effort, honesty and physicality, but agree totally with your summation re: lack of touch, technique and the ball hardly ever being under his control when running at defenders.
Different position, but he was still a lot better than abject Andersen. | | | |

I don’t disagree. Perhaps I wasn’t clear. What I meant to say, is I believe his touch and technique are at a higher starting level than that of Armstrong. But yes, probably the weakest part of his game. But Armstrong was like 3/10 for me. And may reach 5/10.
Lloyd is at 5/10 for me, starting at a higher base, and may reach 7/10, which will be needed to make it at this level. He’s got a lot more promise for me vis a vis. Equally pacy, but better baseline touch (that is improving), can run with the ball (versus SA kick and run), and can crash into defenders and hold the ball up (something SA could not do). Shows promise as a lone number 9. | | | |

the team did well and lloyd gave us more of an outlet second half, great pace, chased anything near him, worked bloody hard. we used subs well today. he had a good game for us. | | | |

He could be the new Sammy Kojoe
Never seems to have the ball fully under control
However I love his attitude and also seems to have far more awareness than Armstrong had plus a real willingness to track back and hassle when needed.
Think he might start next Saturday v PNE
Good luck to him |  |

Agreed. It seemed whenever he had the ball at his feet he was tripping over his feet. Limited ball control. Loads of effort but ultimately I don’t think he is particularly skilled (sadly). Can’t doubt his effort or energy but he’s at best a limited “short term impact” substitute |  | | |

He's a good guy with a lot of enthusiasm. Puts himself about and is a nuisance for defenders. Considering he often seems out of control, he still manages to retain possession.
More games will help but the promise is there.
Kolli slightly different player, currently seems to have better finishing capabilites with his head and feet. But gets knocked off the ball easily and loses possession.
But great to have both here and with injuries and lack of form to Celar and Frey, it's been needed. |  |

He's a good lad and his commitment, attitude and work ethic seem top notch and give us some things we need from the striker in an away game in our current Limited Football guise.
But I don't think anyone is going to be offering us seven figure sums for him like Armstrong.
As others have said his technique isn't great and once he starts dribbling it is mostly very Heads Down until tackled or stumbling in to defenders.
I like him but I can't see him staying at this level. |  | | |
