Agree but I thought that, when he came in the Rochdale game when he was injured, we actually saw the first signs of the quality we are now seeing. One of his tackles was way above the quality we see at our level.

Is he an automatic starter? Probably not in my opinion. If Clough sticks with the 5-3-2 then my midfield would be Maris, Quinn and Lapslie.
If he goes back to the diamond, then I’d add Clarke because I think he adds more when it comes to winning possession

take great care to sign players that should improve the squad.
Like our own youth he has a lot to learn. but his talent stands out

just to clarify that Nigel Clough explained that Maris and Ollie Clarke did not start because they were both on four yellow cards. He didn’t clarify further but basically one more booking in yesterday’s game would see a suspension. The cut off point is 19 games (ie after yesterday’s game). So they will not now be suspended if they are booked in the 20th game (which is the next league game, against Carlisle).

he is getting better and better and starting show his quality on the ball, he is so composed and when he has time to on the ball, he uses it well.
