He came on today and had a considerable amount of time on the pitch.

How did he play?

[jonrover]

I thought he did ok. I wouldn't be worried if we had to start with him at any time in the future.

[dn6red]

Like a little jack russell snapping at your heals. Did well in my opinion, wasnt afraid to get stuck in.

[kenrockrover]

Looked as he fitted in as though he played the whole season so far. think SOD choose well in signing him IMO great prospect

[MrFrost]

I'd like to see more of him. He looked a bit nervy while defending though.

100% agree   B)

[Lord Farquaad]

1 0 up against ten men, he looked good.

1 0 down against eleven men, not so sure.

[Muttley]

Can't believe he's supposed to be a full back, his positioning at times was shocking and he looked very nervous.

JOC was covering him very closely.

[TheRev]

Ummmm - the jury's out on him for me.
Fairly good going forward but his defence needs some improvement.
Still hope he's here next season but he needs games under his belt.
Maybe a good reason to have a reserve side next season then.....

From what i saw he looks as if he could be a good little winger, quick, and not afraid to get stuck in but his defensive play looks a bit shakey, his positioning looks a bit poor from his showing today.

[DonnyNoel]

Gave away a couple of silly free kicks but bags of pace and didn't look out of place when getting involved in the passing.

[Bessie Red]

The one on the edge of the box right near the end wasn't a good one to give away & Stocky was not impressed & let him know!!
A bit more SOD/ROK time & he could turn into a decent signing.

[adamtherover]

he reminded me of a young 'ameobi', that silly free kick near the end, was he gonna mark his debut with giving away a silly goal. For me he couldnt give the ball away quick enough and looked completely out of his depth, i would have put spicer on at right back tbh, a composed head was wot we needed, not some young lad with a large ammount of nerves. As it turned out we werent punished, but from wot ive seen, i believe he's got a long way to go to become CCC standard..  I wish him all the best tho, of course...

What I liked most about him is that he is brave and despite his size is not going to shirk a challenge. He does need to learn some of the more technical aspects of the full-back game. A loan spell (like the one we lined up with Bournemouth) would do him a world of good.

At the moment, though, we can't afford to loan him out. All hands to the pumps for Tuesday, I think!

I agree with the consensus. For a raiding wing-back to be dropped into a cauldron of a game like that at the right-hand side of a back four it must be quite a challenge and overall he dealt with it as well as could be expected.

He has some potential and can onlyt grow in confidence but he has some physical developing to do if he's going to be strong enough in defence. I was also a bit disappointed when he had an opportunity to knock the ball past his man on the wing and take a run down the outside but instead he held it up and turned back inside.

I've seen better but I've seen a lot worse. He got through a challenging debut unscathed and that can only give him confidence for his next appearance.
