Thought he looked excellent both going forward and defending not scared to put a tackle in unlike Haynes only negative for me was the pass back to the keeper from the corner

Agreed. I thought he got forward very well, looked very quick and certainly tackled well. Think him and Brown will have a real good tussle for the left back spot.

Slight hyperbole but it was a good debut

He is contracted to Man United tbf played 10 times for them and previous loan spells have been with Wolves and Leeds so quite a coup at our level

I wonder something we could have done if we'd concentrated on quality rather than quantity

Would be good to get a highly rated young full back on loan from a premier league club.

good point

Which is..........?I think it’s a bit premature to be praising him after one game, just as it would be to criticise him. So for that reason, I will just leave my comment here

Started poor. Got better

He was very nervy at first and what on earth was that pass back from the halfway line when there was no-one near him?
He got a mighty cheer when on the next occasion he played it forward instead.

Yer nothing like loud sarcastic cheers 25 mins into a debut to calm a nervous player down

Great tackling, looked a lot better defensively than a lot of our recent left backs

Think it was more relief than anything else.
That pass back was bizarre to say the least.

It was strange to be fair.

Scunthorpe had pushed out very fast and about 6 of our players were offside. It wasn’t the exciting thing to do to pass back, but it was the right thing.
No it’s not. The guy was excellent and a player I’m happy to watch week in week out.

Logged in specifically to make this point and then just read your comment. I do hate our “fans” sometimes. The players must lose respect for us:
The fans that booed that demonstrated why they’re sat watching and not playing. They would’ve hoofed it back in, Scunthorpe centre half would’ve won the header and scunny would’ve had a 4v2

Have to disagree with that I'm afraid. He had an absolute age to do something with the ball and there were no Scunthorpe players within about 25 yards of him. He had plenty of time to allow our forwards to come back from offside postions.
He didn't even think for a second, just hit ot back to O'Brien with no thought. Think pretty much the enitre ground found it bizarre. He had loads of time on his hands.

Thought he was our worst player on the pitch - both full backs didn’t fill me with hope. Gets beat to easily in the air and teams are always going to make him the outlet. Did grow in the first half then had a poor second.

Might have just been in response to a shout or call? Sometimes someone say’s “I’ll have” and it’s automatic....
But yeah he did seem a bit shaky at first (and Scunthorpe exploited that by sending the ball that way). But very quickly looked more assured. Hopefully will grow into that role, saw some good link up play for sure

Really?! I thought he looked very assured. A pacy defender that can actually defend.
We must have been watching different games.

There was also a chance of he tried to pump it back in it gets charged down and he's out numbered
I think everyone who was there felt for a young player in his first game with no real first team experience showed after a slow start a lot of potential and was a breath of fresh air defensively and supporting the attack.
I don’t agree with you at all.

Charged down by who though? There was no-one within 20-25 yards of him.
Would like to see it again to be quite honest, because he seemed to have an absolute age on the ball when it came back to him and I am never a one for shouting at players to just hoof it back in.
I always fully accept a player playing it back to be safe if there is nothing else on, but he seemed to have an absolute age yesterday and everyone around me yesterday seemed totally baffled , as were CWR and Roy Barry, the ex City guest pundit on the commentary.
