Will be excellent for us in this division and the next. jimtastic56, Chester40 and Van der MoodHoover 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannavaro especially surprised me. Shows that height isn't everything. He was imperious yesterday, think he has looked sluggish off the mark in a footrace so compared to a Rio Ferdinand/Paul McGrath he isn't exactly blessed naturally so will be interesting how far he can go. Definitely good enough to be Captain of a Championship winning team so that's good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio and McGrath were Rolls Royces. Eiran reminds me of more of John Terry than the aforementioned, without being the colossal Bamford JT was, obviously.

Kinder Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 When I had a chat with Curtis a couple of weeks ago, he said that Chester was going to start the Oxford game with himself until Chester picked up his injury. So Rosenior had Davies and Chester as his first choice centre halves, or at least did for the Oxford game. He’s got a nice headache now when Chester is available, there’s no way he can leave Cash out. We’re very fortunate to have 4 very good centre halves.

That's my point really, they are naturally gifted so it looks easy...tall, powerful, pace and good touch. He's got to make the very best of what he's been given. Premier League center backs seem huge now, Nathan Ake always looks small to me and I think he's over 6ft. Edit : Google says 5 ft 11. Point stands though, he looks unnaturally small and lightweight for the position with players like Mina, Van Dijk, Mings, Vestergaard, Stones, Maguires, Diaz etc all 6ft 3+ Edited August 14, 2022 by Chester40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In performances you're right, But the lad is 19/20 years old, He maybe level headed and fit, But with young age comes burn out, He's going to make mistakes and it's how he comes back from those mistakes will define who he is, It won't hurt to rest him of after X amount of games, Chester/Stearman come in then it's up to them to keep him out...competition is a great motivator ?

Roy Mac was 5ft 11in but he could head balls close to 10 foot above the ground consistently. That is one of the reasons why he is rightly regarded as Derby’s best ever player. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 people are rightly comparing him with Colin Todd, but I would suggest that he doesn't have Todd's lightning speed and acceleration. What he does have are the ball skills, assurance and unflappability of Roy Mac, as the other Roy Mac said earlier in this thread! So to have a lad who displays the characteristics of both components of the best defensive partnership this county has ever had makes Mr Cashin a very special player.

The player Cashin most reminds me of from my youth is Martin Buchan who compensated for lack of pace and height with positional play and excellent basic ball skills.
