I'd be more than comfortable with that against Gent. 3 strong players.

With Jan out for the foreseeable, and two of those three regular first team squad members, I wouldn't be surprised to see CCV leading the line at the back, with a couple more Youth teamers thrown in beside him!!
Touch wood. CCV looked more assured than I'd anticipated against Aston Villa (granted, they're 'only' Aston Villa), though we know that everyone looks better with Toby next to them.
...they say that about Diego Costa... not 'cos he's a particularly generous/giving player, it's just 'cos he's a ugly cunt!
Thought he looked a bit ropey today! Wycombe harassed him and he didn't like it.
It's a learning step for him. Still only 19 years old.
Wycombe are a very physical team and Akinfenwa would bully a lot of top class Premier League full backs to be honest. I think at times though he just sort of stood on the ball too long, Pochettino will coach that out of him though I hope and just advise him to get rid of the ball quicker.

To who, our fullbacks were nowhere to be seen as too Dier. Toby and Jan allways have a pass available to them.
I thought on the ball he was good, looked composed, can't recall a time he lost the ball or was tackled. He played safe a few times by turning back to Vorm but dont see a problem with that, better getting caught or hoofing it into row Z. In the air on the other hand he was shit, I think he won just one header all game. Which is odd as this is usually a strength of his.

It was just an unnecessary challenge; I think he panicked and thought a player was wide open in the middle. I didn't think he was bad. He was only slow on the ball once we got to 10 men because he had one less outlet. He did play a few nice passes forward.
He actually gained ground on him, he had 5 yrds on CCV as the ball was played through.
He's our only eligible player isn't he? Winks and Dele are too old now and no one else from the academy has really featured.
Seemed be struggling to read the game - kept on committing himself to tackles that weren't there to be won.
Lack of competitive football will do that, imo.
True. Most centre backs need c. 100 games to fully get up to speed.
Poch doesn't seem keen to loan players though...
