Interesting in that he appears to be playing right-back in that clip. Or maybe it was a second phase from a set-play or a counter-attack or something. In his interview he suggests that he can play in more than one position but he's most comfortable at left back. At first I thought that meant he can push in to midfield but maybe he meant right back? That would make more sense about the decision to let Bennett go out on loan. That Presumes Haunstrup was known to be signing for us for a while.

He's covered at centre back and right back for Portsmouth.

He's covered at centre back and right back for Portsmouth. Andrew Short for a CB - I know he's not 4ft, but the latest stats I've seen suggest he is around 172 - 175 cm, so between 5'7" - 5'9"

Yeah, roughly the same height as Knoyle and Willo who've both covered centre back for us.
Probably not something we would want to do but if our centre back CURSE continues (77 different players used in the Bonnera) then I guess it's an option.

I think a lot of the height/weight stats for lower league players are inaccurate or just completely made up.
He’s either 5’7, 5’10 or 6’2 according to some other sources on the first page of google results.
FWIW He’s got a pic of him standing next to Adam May on his Instagram and he looks a couple of inches shorter than him in that.

FIFA and Football Manager have him at 6’ and are generally pretty good for this sort of thing.

I guess this will be cleared up today when those who go to the match can confirm. Is he Dunk height, May height, or Taylor height!

After watching the first half against Southampton, I'm wondering if he's played left back before this season. Positioning all over the place, reading of the game well off. Certainly no upgrade on jack

He's played there a few times and looked ok. Not a clear upgrade on Iredale at the moment but time will tell.

Certainly no upgrade on jack Not sure that anyone was expecting him to be an upgrade on Jack Iredale. I don't think we could afford an upgrade on Iredale. A game against top flight opposition probably isn't the best game to judge him. He's looked alright when I've seen him so far.

He is along way off Dunk as 1st choice left back but Southampton were miles ahead in quality so can't fully judge him on tonight.

Don’t think you can judge him on tonight one bit, what is point.
