There once was a kid from Toronto...
All opposition wingers are going to get Tyrannosaurus REKT.
Looks potentially world class based on his first 10 minutes. That's how poor the rest of the side is
I loved those where he'd play it down the line and Memphis just did a little one touch lay off for CBJ to run onto. Just quick easy movement that creates loads of space and cuts through the opponents. We see it so little though, usually the fullback would just play it to Memphis/other winger and then just stand there so it was lovely to see him have the confidence to do that.Maybe it was just the scenario of the game but I liked that a few times he bust his lungs to overlap Memphis quite a few times, but always seemed to be back in position again. Tough challenges await but in shaws absence he could be very handy.
He's done fairly well in the 4 games he's played as a left back but hasn't been as good in the last 2 games when playing as a centre backHow did he look in the reserves?
Well he's already adapted and performed better than Blackett ever did in the u21s. He's the best left sided defensive prospect we have coming through but personally I'd rate Tuanzebe, Williams and Fosu Mensah as better prospects as centre backsIs he Tyler Blackett good or is he actually good?

CBJ was pulled out of position a fair bit in the Liverpool game and was covered by Riley and Goss on quite a few occasions. I'm probably being harsh but I thought he could have done better on both goals against Norwich as well, he wasn't the only one to blame by any means with Tuanzebe caught up the field for the 1st and a poor pass from Weir and Johnstone stuck to his line for the 2nd but on both occasions CBJ reacted a bit slowly to the situation and sauntered towards the goalscorer rather than sprinting to get his body between the attacker and the goal. This type of thing is the main reason I prefer the others as centre backs, Borthwick Jackson just doesn't attack the ball aggressively enough as a centre back for my liking but he has been improving on it this seasonI missed most of the Liverpool game but he was our best CB against Norwich and S'land. All in all, he's taken to the u21s more smoothly than Tuanzebe has, but then he's a bit older. On the other hand, he hasn't had the luxury of focusing on one position.

Will he actually start? Thought our back 4 would be like
Varela-McNair-Carrick-Blind
Wonder if he'll go with 3 at the back. McNair-Carrick-Blind with Varela/Lingard and Young as wingbacks.
Poor kid is having an absolute nightmare today .
Only just noticing people calling him shite - behave yourselves! He's a kid.
Nightmare?He gave the ball away 2 times and made couple of defensive errors but not really costing.Not exactly a good performance but far from a nightmare unless I forgot something.
Oh feck off you idiot I was defending the guy in spite of it. He struggled big time in the second half defensively.
Uncalled for insult. Post reported.
And he always will be. Ship him out. Buy someone else.He's fecking shite.
