Boyd hasn't done anything to demand selection. He has had 2 starts in the league this season and has been subbed in or an unused sub the rest of the time. He is hardly scoring for a striker. I would love for him to get more game and to prove his case. He has to be a better option than Smeltz, Patterson or Fallon. However, I would still take Brockie over him given that he is getting playing time and goals.
Apparently he's one of the best players in the team (he's been a winger for the past 3 seasons, not a striker), except the manager wants the two wingers ahead of him to start and Boyd to make an impact late on. He's also apparently the only consistent winger Tondela have.
Think I posted what a Tondela fan said about him above, have a read if you want, he loves him. It's encouraging and I'd definitely have him on the squad as a sub or even starting winger :)
