On his home debut the Hull loanee made a clutch of good, smart saves. Often chose to go short and made fans' heart skip a few beats with the willingness to take as long as possible. Made some key claims late on when pressure was being piled on.

Steady at right-back. Will be disappointed that Tranmere's goal came down his side but apart from that he can be pleased with his showing.

Getting better with each game, the skipper put in ample clearances and just office that steady head that is vital when seeing out wins.
