Absolutely un-droppable at this point. His defending has improved tremendously since Carlo has come in, but the thing that's impressing me most is his on the ball work. He's shown all season he can pick out a long pass and he's comfortable taking the ball into midfield. Couldn't be happier to have him as our #1 at the back Playing like a captain in the making for me. dunlopp9987, markjazzbassist and Matt 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romey 1878 13,590 Posted Tuesday at 22:30 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 22:30 It's all the more satisfying watching him play this well because he was totally written off by a big chunk of our fans, he lost his England place, he would obviously have had low confidence. And now look at him, he'd be the first name on the teamsheet. markjazzbassist, Sibdane, StevO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hafnia 6,592 Posted Tuesday at 22:31 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 22:31 Looks great, better defending from deep. Brilliant in the air. nutmegwolf203 and Matt 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's played it's part but the biggest thing was he got fit and wasn't playing injured to help a struggling team. Which allowed him to show his talent and that led to him rebuilding his confidence, and he's gone from there. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Palfy 3,407 Posted Wednesday at 04:17 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 For me his improvement as a defender is all of the above, but also crucially coincides with a much improved midfield which is allowing him to control his area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post StevO 5,765 Posted Wednesday at 12:59 Popular Post Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:59 Got to give him credit for the work he did in lockdown. Speaking to an old coach of his who he trusted, looking back at footage to see where he went wrong, and working on footwork and positioning. Big respect for anyone who goes the extra mile to improve themselves. Now we reap the benefits of the work he put in. Hafnia, Matt, Romey 1878 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bailey 4,949 Posted Wednesday at 14:32 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 14:32 I still think he goes hot and cold but his hot is a lot hotter and his cold is now much more irregular and mild. It was only a few days ago that he put in a bit of a stinker against Rotherham until Mina came on. Him and Mina are by far our best centre back pairing though and lets hope they both stay fit.

London Blue 2,243 Posted Wednesday at 15:42 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 15:42 He is the definition of a model professional, had setbacks, looked himself in the mirror, and worked hard to improve himself. Didn't wine or complain, he worked with people he trusted and just got on with it. Massive respect to him. Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
