I thought the same

MOTM for me tonight against Cardiff.

Looks very promising.

I reckon he's good enough to play at championship level already! Real prospect.

He did alright when he came on against Cardiff away.

 

[S64 Blade]

Definitely the better of the two at centre back!

 

[mattbianco1]

Can't have been him. There's no CONFIRMED tag on the thread.

Certainly looked comfortable in the position and was good for him to play alongside Glichrist as well for them to get a bit of an understanding. As you say, very promising

Gilchrist was shite last night

 

[bladesince64]

Young lad

First proper football

Being asked to play many too many minutes

 

[Jan Age]

For me , he was the one who understood the remit and took his chance.

The only explanation for the drop off from the first team players was that the way were under strict instruction to be 50% and no more

 

[Slim Man]

Thought he was really good considering. I’d be happy enough with him as our 4th choice centre half.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Thought we looked a bit nervy, early on, but grew into the game. Don't remember him having any issues in the 2nd half. Bit early to be calling for a first team spot but a good audition.

That's all well and good if being 50% means you need to get your passes 50% right.

 

[BladeInIreland]

I actually thought he was pure garbage first half. Looked much better playing next to Robinson.

 

[Yogi]

I missed the first 25 but after that I was quite impressed with him as a young lad getting his chance looked calm and composed but errant with his passing for the rest of the first half but that wasn’t an issue unique to him.

Second half he displayed a good first touch kept it simple taking the easy option on the ball to keep things ticking knew when to drop off and when to get tight and a couple of times bailed us out as last man. Obviously you’d hope there’s more in the tank than that as he continues his development but it was a decent showing in a shocking team performance and it’ll be interesting to watch if he can develop further.

I think you are being harsh about the first half. The ball that went for a corner. He needed to get a touch on that as it was an excellent through ball that was going to favour the forward. He blocked a few more . The second half he was more adventurous going forward.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm really not sure where the praise is coming from. He got better as the game went on but was a liability first half (looked nervous which is to be expected). I wonder if people would be saying nice things about him if that terrible backpass had gone in? It was only luck it didn't. He's obviously young and needs the experience of playing regularly at a lower level before it's possible to judge him.

 

[adamawdhali]

He was alright against, realistically, a league one standard front line. No need to get carried away

 

[JD88]

Though he got better as it went on, but he is a way off Championship football. I would hope we sign 2 centre halves this window meaning we have 4 for 2 positions and can leave Gilchrist at full back. Like a few others he needs a loan for 6 months and to play.

 

[10-0 win]

Easier to slot on with first team than yesterday

 

[bladesince64]

RND didn't look very confident last night either, was obviously at fault for the goal but was not running at full tilt like he did pre his latest injury.

More vital we get another CB in than ever now if he's back on the injury list.

I’d say a CH is a number one priority obvious to see how much more vulnerable and naive we are without Souter

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Would be a perfect time for a L1 loan but we need him to stick around too much

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Bladeloyal]

Nice big athletic unit.

 

[Wards]

Mentioned on the other thread but I think he's looked really good, and obviously benefitted from that loan spell. I hope he's used as the third choice this season to see what he's made of.

 

[Brownieblade]

How did he do at millers last season ??

Not really watched him but wondering if he could play in front of the back 4. Should be mobile enough .?

My Rotherham supporting mate was really impressed with him. Odd poor game as you’d expect with a young lad but mostly very good. UTB

Mine too, he hated almost all of the squad but always spoke highly of Baptiste.
