Absolute class stopper IMO. Always seems so calm, even on the ball. He has pace to recover but rarely needs it.
He's bossing our defence at the relatively young age of 24, and has been our most consistent player this season.
Please JC, sign him up for good!

Not convinced myself, can’t get through 90 minutes without switching off a couple of times.

Nah!, he's OK at this level but nothing special

He will get better, can't see him in the pl but should end up an excellent CB at this level
Miles better than Rose

I really like him.
The only CB worth keeping.

I really thought he was doing well, but against Millwall he almost cost us the game and yesterday he had several involvements where he almost cost us again. He needs to get rid of these lapses of concentration before I will be totally convinced about him.  |

Not convinced myself, can’t get through 90 minutes without switching off a couple of times. Agreed. Moments of inconsistency where he can make some simple mistakes. |

Not convinced myself, can’t get through 90 minutes without switching off a couple of times. Agreed, big part of the reason why we are so dodgy at the back. Better than Rose but they've both got mistakes in them and two new centre halves will be a must in the summer. |

Second best behind Wilmot who we have really missed Rose is up and down, too many downs Clark is clearly finushed We really need a CB We haven’t missed him in the slightest. The defence has looked better and got better results and McNally and Rose actually look like a pair. Wilmot is a headless chicken that leaves gaps and has never been capable of forming partnerships in a Stoke shirt. |

I don't like or trust either of the current pair. They are both liabilities.

He's OK and would make a decent squad player. Let's be honest, if he was any good he would be at Burnley playing for them. If kompany one of the best centre halves to have played the game doesn't rate him then I trust his judgement.

He had no preseason, is older and was rushed in because of our own lack of preparedness. I don’t expect him to be a world beater but I do think he’ll contribute better than he has. |

If you hold forwards to the same standard even Messi would be wank! None of those yesterday were really threatening, even if the Millwall one was. I'm not convinced he and Wilmot will be good as a pairing, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. |

I like him. I think he’s still learning his trade a little bit at this level, but he’s improving & if he can cut out the lapses in concentration he’ll be a really good championship centre half. Can’t be easy playing alongside the risk taking Rose, although he too is showing signs of improvement. We aren’t getting much better without spending money. Look at Sanderson for them last night. Payed decent money for him & our two looked much more solid.

Not 100% convinced, theres certainly a player in there, but as mentioned more than capable of the occasional fuck up which can cost you. Did it against Millwall and yesterday against Brum there was an incident where he should have cleared his lines, the ball ended up staying in play only for him to be outjumped by the smallest man on the pitch who then proceeded to run at the open space behind him. Fortunately both incidents came to nothing but he is as prone to a fuck up as much as any of our defenders.

Wonder if we'll put in a cheeky loan bid for Harry next week? Would love that.

The best of a bad bunch at centre half. Not much else to be said for him really.

I rate McNally, he's a proper centre solid centre back who's learning his trade. With the amount of social media stuff we've involved him in like with the darts at The Cricketers in Oakamoor etc I'm hoping there's a deal in the background to make the move permanent.

I really like him but like others have said he has got a mistake in him.
If he can cut them out he will be a good player for us and maybe he needs a better playing partner

I genuinely believed I was the only one who doesn't rate Wilmot, I just don't get what his redeeming qualities are I like it when people say his passing. Whoever told him he can pass needs shooting quite frankly. Rose is very poor and as an individual way worse than Wilmot but overall I think McNally and Rose weirdly work together. It’s not good and we need better than Rose but Wilmot isn’t that player. |

But better than McNally and Rose curiously In what way, makes just as many mistakes as the other two, his passing is poor and he gets out muscled far too often, we're better off without, we need another in Jan and if we do he shouldn't get anywhere near. |

He’s better than Rose for sure. But McNally and Rose weirdly work quite well as a pair something Wilmot has never managed despite playing sometimes with a better defender (Jagielka). Wilmot should be a bench player for a side chasing the play offs. |
