Playing out of position at RB he always offered himself in advanced areas. He was rarely found, which is why Saints are going down.
Yeah bit of shame to not see him at CB
CB is one of those positions where young players can struggle to get game time, as you do rely on strength and craftiness, which tend to come with age and experience. Especially in a poor side, where you are having to defend a lot.
It's easier to play at full back, where you have can also express yourself more going forward too.
A shame he couldn't have got a mid table L2 loan. A club with aspirations of the playoffs, but who realistically will finish 10th to 15th, to give the right balance of pressure.
Just made a fantastic clearance and got smashed by the striker but he’s ok.
I suspect that Zach was sent to Scotland to toughen him up. The 5' 4'' left wingers tend to be hard enough let alone your Duncan Ferguson/Joe Jordan types that play up top.
He just did brilliantly in a 1v1 defensive tussle, played a lovely one-two with the winger and then fed another player who crossed only for the keeper to make a brilliant save from a diving header.
Would have been a fabulous goal
goalless at the break but I’m loving watching Zach marshalling the defence so well and barking instructions
it was honestly like watching him play for our under 21s at times. Take a touch and surge past the onrushing striker, good tackling, great positional sense, good leadership. And I’m glad the fans saw that and appreciated it too.
their defence hasn’t been great this year apparently but Zach stepped in to the middle of it and did well.
i know there were several saying the loan was a waste of time but he’s likely to play one of the old form and it will be interesting to see how he copes with that cauldron.

That was because he wasn’t starting, definitely worth it if he gets plenty of game time.

Someone at CAFC must think these loans are good for Zach.

Just needed the opportunity to show what a good young player he is.
He was tremendous, my MOM.
