His one v one defending is back to being at its best again. He'll never improve going the other way, but he is good at this side of the game when on form.

I actually think he's improved going the other way too - at least in his movement. He's never going to be beating a man and whipping in a cross but he's making good runs which open up space for our better players as defenders can't just ignore him.

[Bumble]

Yes he's not been our worst player so far this season. Which is an improvement.

Said it in pre season, he's definitely been told to push up more than previously. Defensively he was very good at the weekend too.

Having Jack in front of him is a big help

It pains me to give him his flowers, but yeah he was decent.

I think he's defensively alright in the tackle and he gets some decent blocks off, but he's definitely not what I would consider a very good defensive fullback...typically gets caught out at the back post, out of position and without sight of his man far too frequently overall. Also absolutely dreadful going forwards, even if he is getting higher. His playing higher helps create a better balance and provide more options, but 90% of his crosses into the box are still of the quality of a sunday league player playing out of position.

Hope he keeps up the form he's in, but I think we've seen enough of him over the years to know it's likely only a matter of time.

He’s become a proper pro this lad. We know his limitations going forward but his overall performances are consistently good, and his defensive blocks are becoming a trademark. Still don’t understand letting Aznou out on loan though, let’s hope he stays fit.

Was always a very good one v one defender, but for some reason lost that side of his game last year.

Been really solid this season though, it was telling when Fatawa tried to dribble past him not long before being sent off yesterday, and Myko just took the ball off him like he was playing against a non league plodder.

He'll always have his limitations, but as long as he's winning his one v one battles, and putting in great blocks like he did the other week (remember the double block?), then he's not a problem for me.

Moving forward we need someone who can do more going the other way, but we haven't had the financial muscle to even buy a backup let alone a starting left back, so hopefully he can continue to show us his good defensive attributes for the rest of the season.

[MmmBlueBranthwaite]

Never complains. Just gets on with the job.

Utterly professional.

Hes in his prime and dare I say it, starting to show a lot more going forwards......

[Free Agent]

So long as we keep getting those clean sheets he can be as shit as he wants to be - I don’t care

[Escalator]

Any update on his injury/chances of playing against Chelsea ?

[Free Agent]

He was almost ready for Hull so I’m hoping to see him back at Hill Dickies (never thought I’d ever say that…)

[Gash]

We'll find out in the presser tomorrow.

Don’t bet on it moyes ain’t going to give much away
