His tackling was very commited last night. He read things pretty well and made some solid impacts. He came in once in the first half and made a terrific hit 5 yards out. I do like the way he sticks to the player he's tackling - very limpit like. Sinfield out on the right first half made a significant difference as well.
What does he offer us? Who can tell so far? Not much going forward yet, but increasing dependability in defence - possibly.

always was a pretty good defender,the injuries have hit his attacking game far more

imo it took disco until the second half of the 07 season to stop looking like a passenger in the team after his injury at the end of 04 so imo its only fair gibbo be given the same time by us. not sure gibbo will get the time from the club but thats what the cap will do to some players.

Agree solid in defence but no threat to score from distance.

I thought he had a good defensive display against us. Many times he disrupted a Huddersfield attack. I know we were a bit flat on the night but he still read the game well.

I thought he put in a good solid performance and an improvment on previous outings this season. I think he deserves time and be allowed to get back to full match fitness. Don't know if it's the effect of the away strip, but he seemed to be bulkier than a few weeks ago.

Decent defender, got the important decisions right on when to come in and when to stay out.

Shocking lack of pace though, was getting caught with ease when he attempted to run from marker.
