I can only echo other peoples positive comments about Rawlinson. For some years probably since the like of Mike Edwards was in the first team we needed two good proper old school central defenders. It was one area that we just never seemed to get quite right. I'm sure it was a topic that was debated a lot on here when we used to be conceding two goals a game on a regular basis.

I think central defence is one area that the club has vastly improved on recruitment wise. Rawlinson alongside Lacey are arguably the two best central defenders in this league in my opinion.
