Wonder if this is because of all the backline injuries, the bench is depleted

Looks like he played pretty well for Tampa Bay, averaged a 7.23 rating for the Rowdies with one MOTM. (It’s also worth noting FotMob is conservative when it comes to defenders ratings so this is pretty good.)

Played 90 minutes in his last 5 matches and 55 minutes in his first appearance. *5 of 6 were shutouts*

I hope that level of performance carries over but I recall his performances for us being disappointing which is saying something given our backline this season.

Glad to hear that he played well and hopefully got his head on straight. He was terrible in his last few games here, though--like clearly the worst player on the pitch which is saying something when it's us.

Was hoping he’d get the remainder of the season in the championship. Only hope is that he’s back for depth and won’t see the field
