David Bates. Solid as a rock.

[Scottland]

Solid and he'll keep improving.

As many others have said he is particularly good at backs to the wall defending, less so when we are doing most of the pressing as he can be caught out by teams in the break but having an experienced pro beside him will improve him no end that way, he is still young for a centre half with many years to improve both his positioning and distribution.

 

[Boldvale]

Don't get the hate for the guy. Solid and a proper defender. He has a lot of potential and has a good presence about him. He very rarely let's us down. Keep up the good work big man!.

I think he improves with every game. Yes he has his limitations with the ball at his feet, but defensively he is sound and will only get better with more experience. I would keep him and develop him. With the right partner he will come on in leaps and bounds.

Who hates him?

Not me. He takes a lot of abuse whether you want to admit it or not.

Tavernier obviously shouted to leave it.

Not sure about that but u may be right. Thought he left it thinking it would go for a goal kick
