Would be much too harsh to drop the Pig in fairness. As such a big lad, he also plays a vital role when opponents get corners.
does anyone know when his loan expires ?
It's a youth loan - we've got him all season.
I’d be surprised if Wigan don’t recall him before long. He’s far too good for this level.
I don't actually think he is too good for this level and he will learn a lot. You can see at times that he holds onto the ball a tad too long which he would probably get away with at Under 21 level. This is a tough physical league that he will gain valuable experience from. Certainly a different class to Dack or whatever his name was. I do rate him but just needs to retain the ball more often. Jordan won corners when he came and we just generally gelled better, albeit they had 10 men.
I don't think he was fit when he arrived, in the second half against FC United, he looked very tired and PP referenced his fitness in one of his post match interviews. He is getting fitter and starting to look a better player, but in this league you get a few bigger, stronger and older centre backs.
With two games in four days, having some options gives us chance to use more players, you could tell that with the substitutes on Saturday.
