It's way too early to just write Pijnaker off. Still young, and Rio Ave thought enough of him to sign him long term.
He has some genuinely classy moments, and good physical size. He needs to cut out those bad errors. But that shell shocked early goal against CR, a number of AWs were at fault.
Understandable that both Reid & Tuiloma were rested last night so, Nando starts. You could accuse Hay of some favouritism since they go back to that Handy Prem winning ES side. But yes for the moment, there is no stand out better young CB.
Hopefully AWs go comfortably 2-0 up against a young Socceroos team on Sunday, and Hay rolls on Adams for 20 mins for a look.
