Well to add to your confusion, I thought he was just ok. Not great, not awful. Enough evidence of a potentially top player, but also enough to make you think he won't quite succeed.Didn't watch the game and wanted to know if he did well. Well, this thread is bipolar !!
Signed a new 3.5 year deal today and loaned to WycombeThe player who caught the eye pre-season IMO was young Luke Bolton, who seems to be well off the radar......

Showed enough to think he will have a decent future in the game - however, it could be a while before he could make a serious case to be in our squad permanently. Whereas Garcia looks ready to go, Philippe looks like he needs a bit of time - for me he takes too many touches and is not decisive enough with his passing - that could come with confidence and spending time with our coaches and first team. He does have a physical presence and that may help him. It's good that these younger players are getting a chance and I've no doubts we will see more come through the academy in the next two years.
He is 22 if we not going to play him we should sell him not loan!
I don’t agree.
It’s well known that centre-backs develop later than other positions and a loan spell under the tutelage one of the greatest will do him no harm at all.
