Mason Holgate

I get the feeling Browning will be moved on Mikey.

Also im not sure Pennington has much of a chance here either.

My concern with Holgate is his size, Ulloa pulled off him with ease today, he hasnt really been tested in a back 4 either, hes comfortable on the ball and is decent at defending, I see his future as a Right Back currently or as today in a back 3.

hes only turned 20 so you'd hope he still has a bit of growing to do.

His height isn't an issue for me, just his build makes me think he will be better suited to being a RB.

Don't mind him making mistakes and today he got lucky a couple of times but they weren't mistakes as in being a tit with the ball, plain and simple positional stuff which you only learn with game time against PL class players, some who are physical and others who are small and rapid.

Kid done well today, Williams would be a brilliant player to play alongside.
 
I like Holgate and can see why the Barnsley fans rank him up there with Stones.

He might not be anywhere near as fancy on the ball as Stones can be but Holgate seems solid defensively, can head a ball and isn't afraid to try and play a forward pass with a bit of guile.
