Apart from today I've only seen him play in pre season games for us (and that last 10 mins at left back v Villa) and I've always thought he looked solid. The flack he gets seems to be from u21 games and bad loan spells which obviously most of us haven't seen.

Did well and looked good when he had to be. Glad of his performance but don't big him up too much. It's the best thing to do for you and him. We haven't signed a player who can't play.

He played well in pre season and did well today, he's still got time to progress.

Fair play, we have folded in recent matches , when we have had to make changes, but he did a steady job.

By the way I doff my hat to Tex after being very afraid he would come onto the pitch. You have earned the praise on this thread.

May need to give the album a few pre-match run outs so block 19 can pick up the tune...

I did think about suggesting the chant stops after "moonlight in Vermont" but that would have rendered the whole idea as ridiculous.
Indeed, the whole message board, and also my career as top notch stoke song suggester would have been as on the line as tex's face

Just on way back. Can't quite believe it. Great 1st half then the injures. Feared the worst when Johnson got injured, and then again when they scored. Tex looked ropey, but the whole team dropped in and supported. As the game went on he started to grow in confidence. That said they were terrible.

I thought he looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Bournemouth could and should have scored at least 3 goals. He's nowhere near a premiership footballer

A cracking win glosses over this. I'm happy for him get some credit though. I just dunna rate him. I'd love be proven wrong though by him

Stats show he made the most blocks today of any player, despite only playing 45 mins...
Deffo shit.

Tex is strong and got decent pace, but his big problem is distribution and game time! Not sure he is any worse than Muni when he gets more game time, in fact I think he will be a much better defender!
