I think he actually came with a decent reputation, a ‘one to watch’. I read an article about him (possibly posted on here) which had him listed as such. Albeit it was written a year or two before he arrived.I guess everyone will say mcnulty was Robins best signing but Hyam looks like a find. I knew nothing about him at all but he looks like he’s been playing in a first team for years
Yeah I remember that. One of the few times he’s made a bad decision...he opted to try and beat their man in a race for the ball as opposed to running back into position.In the home game against Yeovil, he got shown up for pace for one goal that I remember in particular. However, he does seem to read the game well and is probably the most comfortable/composed on the ball of those at the back (quite like Mason's composure, too)

Looks like a really good footballer. Not blessed with great pace, or height, can read the game though.
and he had green eyes......6' 2" the modern 5' 10".
I can't remember anyone suggesting Jim Holton lacked height who was in reality 6' 1"

I don't think the Yeovil game is a good example for judging defenders.I also like Davies, but it's about partnerships at CB and Willis/Hyam have different attributes that compliment each other well and look like a good pairing. The other thing to look at in Yeovil game was Rod McDonald was playing and he had totally lost his way around then which exposed Hyam more. At the start of last season I though RMD could also be decent, but perhaps masked by other areas of the pitch being better.
The people who gave player ratings cumulatively made Davies MOM in both the two games he has played, Oxford in the Cup and Wimbledon - by some way in the latter caseI also like Davies, but it's about partnerships at CB and Willis/Hyam have different attributes that compliment each other well and look like a good pairing.

Agreed - but who would you drop? Doesn't send a great message and he'll get his chance again, up to him to then keep it. I think the two in possession deserve to keep the shirt until they're injured/suspended/lose form.The people who gave player ratings cumulatively made Davies MOM in both the two games he has played, Oxford in the Cup and Wimbledon - by some way in the latter case
He’s 6’ 2” is he? Blimey.6' 2" the modern 5' 10".
