Neil Warnoch used to talk about "bread and butter" players and Scott's one of those, winning the ball and passing it crisply and simply to an attacking player. He's also shown that he has some ability on the ball if he does need to carry it.
In effect, we've asked a 21-year lad with relatively little match experience to come in and "be" Matt Palmer, and he's made a respectable fist of it, considering he's not an identical type of player. We need a big, physical defensive midfielder to come in alongside Matt Palmer next season, which means Scott will probably revert to being Palmer's understudy, but he's got plenty of potential. I can see why Scott Brown liked him.
