Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It beggars belief that this boy does not start as one of our two centre halves every week without fail. He has never once let us down despite his relative inexperience. I wasn’t at the game today but watched it on TV and it would not be overplaying it to say he didn’t put a foot wrong and has so many facets to his game that make him a real talent. -Reads the game superbly well, how often do you see him not having to dive in and make a last ditch tackle because he’s positioned himself well and deals with the danger by stepping in and staying on his feet. -Wins his fair share of aerial duals, think the only time I seen him come off second best today was on the odd occasion against Lafferty who is the naturally bigger man. -His vision and ability to see a forward pass is possibly the most impressive part of his game. It’s easy to say it’s not difficult to find a pass when the game is in front of you at centre half but how many players do you see playing even in the EPL that are uncomfortable with the ball at their feet. It was his initial long pass to Morelos that started the combination for the goal. -Most importantly as a defender, he’s just solid. He wins races, headers and tackles. I actually think the partnership between him and Wilson looked really strong today. Perhaps that long term partner is Wilson but I know Wilson has his detractors. Whoever the other CB is, Ross McCrorie has to be part of that central defence. It was a pleasure to watch him today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Inexperience in giving the FK away for their goal but aside from that another excellent performance from the young man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,481 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Touch of class about this boy. Few wee mistakes here and there but that's easily sorted with experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Made a silly tackle on laffertey for there free kick but he will be a top defender imo he should be in ahead of cardoso Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 He's something we've lacked: a centre half whos really good at defending. His distribution is also good, and hes not scared to bring the ball out from the back. Hes head and shoulder above Bates, despite his age.

Marky. 6,927 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Played great. Made a brilliant slide challenge to Lafferty in the box too. Didn’t win too many headers against Lafferty but hopefully that will come in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eosmhdo 1,879 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Build a team round that boy, he is going to be a top player once the rough edges wear away imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I can't think of any reason to keep him out the side. Even with Cardoso and Alves fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Been saying since the old firm game he should be starting ahead of Cardoso, looks much more assured at the back. Had a tough time at the start of this match against Goncalves but really grew into it as the game went on, isn't too bad on the ball either. If we want to play Cardoso and Alves at the back I don't think he'd be a bad shout for a midfield anchor man, Wilson wasn't too bad today either after a few ropey moments in the first half Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dado'sMulls 2,617 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Already a very good defender, he's a tough lad as well, can go through the wars if need be. He's better than Cardoso. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluchoo 846 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Had a wobbly 15 mins from giving the free kick, still young but given time could be good...Wilson has to be given a large amount of praise today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully your right, we don't produce enough young centre backs, it would be ideal if young Ross can be that lad then their is no reason he can't be a first team regular this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
