    He wasn't great, but having played so little football all season, you can perhaps understand him being a bit rusty.

    There's no reserve team football now, and I don't recall him playing in any U21 games either.

    Wasn't this guy a 7 figure fee? 
    Somewhere between £500k and 750k apparently

    Think it’s hard to judge him when he’s coming into that type of game when every player is playing awfully and we’re being battered.

    Unfortunately as far as I can remember the last time he got extended game time was the Cambridge game, where the only way he really distinghuished himself was taking some really crap corners. I agree judging him on yesterday is unfair, but he's really not done the "grabbing his chance with both hands" thing at any point.

    Was like a defensive version of Danny Hylton coming on yesterday.

    Thought he looked a good player for Blackburn, so shame he’s not showed much for us so far.

    From the little I've seen of him, he looks quite tidy on the ball, but also appears to be painfully slow. He  also came close to getting a second yellow for a poor slide tackle at the end, but luckily he missed the player as well as the ball. I'm slightly shocked we spent £750k on him...
