Give the guy a chance. He came through the Spanish youth system before continuing in the English one. Yesterday he was thrown into his first ever experience of the Scottish system. One that took many of our current players by surprise, including Hayes, Doran and Rooney, before they got to grips with it and shone.

The highlights naturally focus on the blunder. The ball should never have been passed back to him and under pressure he tripped up - an unfortunate error. However, for the rest of the game, he played very well. He looks skilfull and played some good football. He seemed solid as well. Even the best players make mistakes. For example, Larsons first game for Celtic - he passed it across his own goal and straight to a Hibs players to score the winner.

In saying that, I was surprised he started. he only met the players the afternoon before and the team have a major issue in not gelling. Throwing Roman in at the deep end was never going to help that. I presumed Thomas the Tank would have started and Roman would have started against Ayr after getting a few days to know the players. This was not the case, and I hope Terry starts him against Ayr. I saw enough of him yesterday to predict that (despite the error) he will be a good loan signing for us.

I agree with CapitalCaley, yesterday apart from the mistake he looked a good player certainly someone who can do a job for us and he has the height that is needed for a centre half. He was very composed on the ball and lets face it in terms of the mistake it was almost forced upon him, it should never have been passed to him in the first place, Vernon was looming and the first rule of defending is never pass across your backline when a player is about. He'll learn from it I'm sure and next time hoof it but also others should learn from it too.

He was clearly brought in for his ability to play the ball on the ground and technically he looked good with his feet, for weeks we have been saying we need someone to play the ball out from the back to feet, I believe he can be the one we need for this.
