Quite well. Determined, decent on the ball and tidy. Can't see him being a centre half in the prem though, not really big or strong enough. Think he would need to develop another role, perhaps full back. Quite impressed with him though not sure what you can really take out of these games!

According to Marc Iles on twitter ages ago, Coyle sees him as more of a defensive midfielder.

Could see that but again not sure he is quite ready for us yet. Certainly a proper prospect though on today's showing if it means owt!

Well he is only 19 so he has time on his side yet. Season in the Championship should be a good test of his ability.

Has a decent pass on him as well, few good cross field balls to the wingers instead of the usual hoof up to a lone kevin davies.

Another Ivan Klasnic moment. Wanderers have a free-kick on the edge of the area. He clearly wants to take it, but Marcos Alonso wins the argument and hits it straight into the wall with the onwatching Croatian sarcasticly clapping.

That's his best attribute from watching him in the reserves. Rolls it out of his feet, pin-point cross field ball to left wing. I really rate him.

I went to the game with two other Bolton fans and a Bradford fan who lives in Bolton and who's dad is the Bradford mascot! Some wanderers fans took offence to him sitting with the Bolton fans had a right go at him when he clapped a Bradford move, understandable if we were playing United but Bradford! To their credit they came and had a chat with him later and he was VERY quiet during the second half!

It's not to anyone's credit if something they said during that chat was the reason he was quiet for the rest of the game. Tight bastards.

I just think that its a shame that people took offence at a Bradford fan sitting in our bit, he is a scruffy little Yorkshire git, but he's ok!
