Defended well and was probably our best youngster today

Plenty of potential in this kid

He didn't impress or not impress to me. He was fairly non existant during the game. Potential yes but nowhere near ready.

He didn't do anything wrong. He was strong on defence, and good going forward (given a decent pass!)
For me, non existent is good. He's finding his feet still. The ball never reached our backs because we got dragged into a forwards game.

To say he's nowhere near ready, in my opinion, is a ridiculous statement.

You're right non existent is probably good, I wasn't knocking him but not gonna lavish praise on him for the sake of it.

He isn't nowhere near ready to be a starting centre in SL. However I wouldn't expect him to be as he needs to develop physically and also develop his game. He's about where i'd expect.

Agreed. It means you can't have been a noticeable weakness without bringing any added pressure. As I said, in many ways the best kind of debut IMO.
