Mods can't find his thread ,

A mention for a young lad who didn't seem to put foot wrong in a high pressure game.

Thoughts , opionions ....
 
I thought he was superb today. By far and away the most composed defensive performance I have seen from a North End player all season.

Yeah agree , given time this lad could be a gem
 
I was very impressed, with only minor blips our defence as a unit looked a lot more solid, today.

An honorable mention for Clarke too, he was superb.

Did he come from Exeter ? Can't remember , they raved about him and reckoned he was destined for the top

Yes he did, and it was reported at the time that we beat off Premier League teams who were beginning to show interest.

I was told that, whilst they didn't move for him or bid or anything, Liverpool had watched him a few times and liked what they saw.

As far as other Championship teams are concerned, was also told that Bristol City watched him a lot.

Darragh McAnthony said on Twitter that he was firmly on Peterborough's radar and would've gone all out for him if they were in the Championship, but they weren't able to sign him whilst they were in League One.
 
Decent but not getting carried away. 6 months ago I said that Ben Davies was our best player by a mile. He now can’t get into the team. Peaks and troughs fellas.

Shirt's his for now.

Davies and Storey could be a very good CB partnership over the next few seasons if they get experience under their belts.

Totally agree, add to that Earle has a lot more to give, three good young uns there, got to be good news.
 
I don’t think he’s ready to play week in, week out but he did well today.

Fulham and Liverpool. No doubt he’d have gone into their U23s though.

They could be the new Lawrenson and Hansen. Imagine that?
 
First time I’ve seen him play today, he looked about 10 !
Didn’t think he was put under too much pressure from Wigan’s attack, personally I’d have Davies in there as he looks a lot more self assured.
 
Our first choice back four next season will very likely be Fisher, Storey, Davies, Earl - that looks pretty good to me.

I'd anticipate we may look at other right backs. Would be very surprised if we didn't take steps in January to add cover
 
Can’t beat experience at the back imo. Storey looked ok and played it very simply the way he was facing. He took no risks or long passes and didn’t bring it out of defence like Harry MaGuire as some fans expect our central defenders to do. He’s just learning his trade and should keep his feet on the ground. He did well and showed promise. Another one to watch is Wigan’s right back, Chelsea loaned Reece James who looked an excellent prospect. They had our previous player Reece James for 3 seasons and then signed another with the same name !

I'd be amazed if they didn't actively look for a right back in January. It seemed on the radar during the summer with Connolly, but we were struggling to fill other positions. Woods hasn't recovered yet from that Morecambe injury, pretty obvious he needs replacing.
