    Putting it mildly. Would be good news any time but considering how short we are at the back its huge.

    I think it's needless to start him. I'd say bring him on for half an hour or so.

    Just getting the fear a bit. We rushed CCV back as well.

    If he’s trained for 12 days he’s more than ready to play and given the rest of the injuries the best thing for him would be 90 mins, if he’s capable.

    Did all he could, played well.

    Looking nice and sharp. One positive at least.

    Brilliant return from injury, his energy was a welcome boost and hopefully he stays on for the full game next Sunday.

    A fullback that understands overlapping. What a joy.

    He was one of few bright spots today and you can tell how rusty he is.

    One positive management wise was taking him off to protect him, because I feel like before we’d have played him the full 90 and have it bite us in the *, because we did need him out there but we done the right thing by him as a player in protecting his fitness and health and for the long term by managing him back so we’ll have full availability off of him.

    Massive to have him back.
    Had an excellent game, straight after returning from the long absence.

    Should have had an assist, if our forwards were alert.
