well that's two matches and he's not put a foot wrong.

Has anybody spotted a weakness? It might be a lack of pace but as a squad replacement for Evans he's a bargain.

He must have weaknesses or he’d be alongside Maguire at Man Utd.

Well yes, but at this moment in time I'm thinking....

Maguire doesn't have weaknesses?

He looks solid enough. Clearly playing on the right of a back 3 isn't his usual role (and it unbalances us) but on the left I think he'd look as good as anyone in our backline. Aerial monster.

He looks to have pretty much everything you want from a centre half at this level… quick, aggressive, strong in the air (understatement) and although he was on the right side of defence which wasn’t ideal, his weak foot looked competent enough IMO

I was told by a colleague who works with Worcester City that he was class there too. So I'm excited to see what we can do with good strength in depth (we also have Kerr and Hollis to come back).

I would prefer to see him in the centre in place of gunning with either kerr or carline at RCB

Lindalof(spl) does and he is prone to a plethora of errors

Lindalof isn’t a 30yr old playing in the National league.

He looks a solid player for this level...good feet and heading ability..good talker and a big unit...good acquisition and find. Another one of the Nottingham mafia.

Was MoM at Matlock yesterday by a country mile. Great asset and shrewd move by Rowe. He will become a key player for us this season.

as for a lack of pace he looks as quick if not quicker than the majority of our central defenders over the last few years

Being an observant chap, did you think that 'Mad Gav' ran with a bit of a limp. A 2nd half observation.

I think that is his natural running style to be honest

Second half last night Grimes sprinting quickly back in position after a corner was pleasing to see
