    Bit of an overreaction, last night was his first real mistake of note that I can remember.

    He has scope to develop, I don't see him becoming a massive player for us, but I'm happy to have him in and around the squad.

    I think this is the most fair comment of them all. He is often playing as a make shift full back and I think he has done okay when asked to do this, but it is obvious it is not his best position. He needs to be with a team that he can connect and gel with and with the rotation our team does it will take more time for him to gel.

    Tell you what was worse sign than him gifting the striker that chance ,the time he went out stop a cross and jumping and turning his back incase the ball would hit him absolute shitebag behaviour especially for a defender.I'd love to be proved wrong he looks to be another waste of money

    Got a * of a lot of improving to do if he’s going to be a good player for us.

    I don't think he's agressive enough. Too much emphasis on your defender to be able to play out from the back and not enough on being a defender. really hope he does well but as I love seeing young scottish tims in the team but I don't know if agression and that fight is somthing that can be taught. it's one of the things I like about mcginn and always annoyed me about armstrong and players like Gms. * you know have never been involved in a fight in their life.

    Think he looks bang average so far if I'm honest.

    Big unit and comfortable on the ball but not much else. I like a defender who can defend first. Give me big Debo any day.

    Big, quick and can play football but I’m really not sure about him as a long term solution.

    One thing I will say though is, he’s far more suited to the right of a 3 than at right back.

    His defending, particularly slide tackling was impressive first half, and then he totally ruins it all with a moment of madness straight at the second..

    I really don't know about him..

    Hoping he can cut these lapses out but if asked would I trust him in a big game? No....certainly not yet anyway..

    Friendly but he was very poor today. Hasn’t started well at all, passing is lazy and he is panicking because of the mistakes he’s making.

    Brendan had a proper go at him at one point which is a rarity.

    Wasn’t too big on the signing and still not, but give him time and see what Brendan can do. If anyone can do anything with him, Brendan can tbf

    Done the boy with a bad studs challenge being rash in the challenge again and was caught out of position after..

    He keeps making mistakes. I feel for him as you can see in his face he's giving everything, but it's just no happening..

    I'm hoping it's his over eagerness to impress still, rather than being unable to slot in comfortably still. I dunno man..

    didnt want him when we were linked with him, the first youtube highlight I saw was him bolting 20 yards to take out his own teamate with a sliding tackle against der hun



    disappointed when we signed him, no ill will against the kid, seems a good lad

    have seen nothing that will make me optimistic about his future here. as i said before, if hes part of a starting back line heading into europe proper we will be shipping goals for fun.

    Don’t talk *. Armstrong was always the first to defend players like brown and KT on the pitch. County away two seasons ago and county at home last season prime examples of him being first to get into *.
