as long as he played as good as Smith, is what really matters. We needed cover at that position that's the important thing to remember.
He did ok. Nothing stand out, some nice touches of skill and pace but nothing overly stand out. They attacked down our right so the Holgate vs Forte battle was the focus. Forte got past him a couple of times first half, but in general Holgate kept him quiet.
Agree we needed cover, but to drop Smith, a committed Barnsley FC player for a short term loanee seems harsh to me.
