    Looked very comfortable yesterday. Don’t know if he was injured or fatigued when he came off but I think he deserves a run in the side.

    Ben Williams has been ok, certainly the better of the two Williams’, but I thought Oduor looked like he had something. He seemed to get to their wide men to close down a cross better, he looked comfortable on the ball, and (a personal bug bear of mine that we’ve struggled with this), he has got a very good throw in.

    At the very least we’ve two decent options at left back. I’d give Oduor a run.

    Thoughts?

    I thought he did ok. But when he was on the ball to me he didn’t look too confident, but was looking for the pass and actually making it. Confidence will come with game time. I think a few more games and he could be our number 1 left back.

    That's interesting, as I thought he looked fairly composed on the ball. Looked for the simple pass (in general), but didn't seem to waste too much.

    Very composed, I think a far better prospect than Ben Williams. He was fatigued at the end but great effort. Jordan Williams has also impressed me over the last two games. Ben has struggled this season unfortunately.

    We commented on him during the game. I think we all agreed that it was a pretty good debut from him. He didn't do too much wrong so has earned himself another game in my opinion.

    Decent start particularly bearing in mind he was playing in a sieve.

    It is a little oxymoronic calling out a defender for praise in our team - at the best of times, never mind when having conceded three at home.

    But I thought he looked very good despite that.

    In his defence (no pun intended) all the goals were made down the other side.

    Magnificent today. Another quality performance.

    My man of the match.

    If we had a right back anywhere near as good we’d only be a centre back from being ok I’d say.

    Definitely a great acquisition- Shame we haven’t used his skills before. Very composed and confident and tbh had it not been for his intervention several times - the outcome might have been very different.

    A player.
    Good debut, followed by another assured performance. His place to lose now....we seem to be better with all our "players" in the team.ie.
    Mowatt, woody, bahre, chaplin and now this guy.
    We look better and can retain possesion for longer periods, long may it continue.
