For most supporters today would have been the first they have seen of him. What is the general opinion? I thought that he was a slight improvement on Calderon but still looked what he is a CB being played out of position. Ì would hate to see him face Downing or Ince running at him but generally as a stop gap he will do.

Didn't think he was any better than Calde had been playing. He let their right winger elude him quite a few times. And I may be wrong, but I think it was him that let their player run unmarked into the box for their goal.
I'm judging on 1 performance so it's a little harsh. But personally, I Bong can't get fit soon enough!

He looked like a centre back playing left back!

Thought he did ok today. He was constantly talking to everyone around him and organising the defence. Dunk looked better with him alongside.

I thought he couldn't prevent the cross. The player didn't run unmarked into the box did he?

Sounds like you may be a little concerned about the lack of cover at left back BG if I read the situation correctly!

Looks exactly what he is, a centre back playing left back.

At least we have 2 weeks off now and time for Bong to recover more. Until then we will have to make do but not over thrilled.

Likewise, I didn't think he was a liability like Calderon, he was solid but uninspiring and didn't fit into the passing style, he must have given the ball away needlessly 5 or 6 times.

Exactly! He's cover for our injured LBs, not a replacement.

He is a temporary replacement not cover until Bong is fit. Calderon is the left back cover.

Only need 1 and we will push for automatic, as we would had we signed one 2 months ago.

Harsh to judge on one game but clearly not a natural left back. Thought he was at fault for their goal (didn't get tight enough to the man with the ball and then seemed to turn his back as the cross came over thereby making himself a smaller target and less able to block the cross). However, on the plus side he was vocal and certainly Dunk seemed like he was happier, presumably as he wasn't constantly having to think about covering for the left back and so wasn't getting himself in the wrong position and was able to concentrate on what he was meant to be doing.

Would imagine he'll look more comfortable at left back in another few weeks, just as his loan comes to an end!!
