He made a ton of mistakes. Some of us were saying it but far too many were too caught up with the odd slide tackle and insisted on over hyping a young player as normal.

He couldn't defend last year. He has regressed even further this year. If he plays centre half I'm pretty certain we will lose. I've not seen a player so inept in a positional sense at this level in many years.
Who’s us? A small minority. You clearly think you are knowledgable whilst being in a small minority.

The few posters who had concerns about his defensive abilities. Those of us who were concerned about his lack of positional awareness and inability to compete in the air.

If I'm in the minority then I dont care. If people think he is a good defender then I dont know what on earth they have been watching, but they can have whatever opinion they want. I know what I'm seeing and unfortunately its not good.

Your opinion is absolutely correct by the way.
 

I would add that I think hes done OK at times filling in at left back, where his weaknesses cant be exploited as much

As a centre half, he's out of his depth at this level.
His best position is left back.

We need to play Holgate, Keane, branthwaite, Godfrey for rest of the season - if nothing else they might give us a bit more presence on set pieces

The problem is if you play him as a LB tonight for example we probably don't score a goal because we already had no width on the right and that takes the left away too. It isn't a viable option even if he defends quite well over there.

Mykolenko and Kenny can’t defend. We have to try and grind out points somehow. Won’t be enough but think it’s our best bet.
