I watched the game back last night on Rovers TV

Blimey it was his first game in the championship. Give him some leeway, I'm sure Lenihan and Nyambe first game at this level weren't perfect and I'm sure people weren't convince about Pickering after the first game against Swansea at Ewood Park. 

So you hadnt at the time of arguing so profusely that he should be 2nd choice RB?

Every time he plays he wont have that caveat of "hes new to the Championship." Hes a total unknown aside from one game in which I was there at and thought he struggled in. Even if the decision was made that he is good enough to cover a first choice which would be IMO premature, will it be good for his development to play a few games and spent most of his season sat on the sideline when hes now 23/24 and all of his prior football has come in the Irish league?

Yes seen enough of the game tbh on Saturday but my link I had wasn't working great in the second half tbh. So why I watched the game back last night.

Like I said last night we have to agree to disagree on whether he should be part of the squad next season.

Not many people make it in higher level pro football starting out at that age. There are exceptions though.

Thought Brown had a decent first half, then a shaky second.

Far too early to tell if he will make it at this level, my gut tells me that he will be here and make the odd appearance until January before he goes on loan to a league or two below, then probably spend his career there.

It’s handy to have some though when you need it. Especially at fullback

As Wigan proved in the challenge cup, one player ran the all of the pitch for a try.
