First time I saw him (I think) was at Plymouth under Duff. He came on for Cundy who had looked very dodgy. My first impression was he looked a really good footballing defender.
Yeah, he played fairly well today - considering he’s barely played. Did he end up at Swindon for half season on loan last year? Can’t remember.
I think he's a very solid option for those either side of the centre half. Seems to read it nicely and position himself well - really pleased after his injuries that he's getting a chance.e
If not for Pines today I fear we wouldn't have won at all. Hes so dominant in the air, Mccarthy isnt that great a headerer* and even if he was he just doesn't have the physique or strength to match Pines. Mccarthy is better on the ball though imo
