Agree he looked shaky in his first few appearances and lost his place to Cooney, but since he's been back in he's been excellent. A real threat going forward - his cross that led to Wildig's goal was excellent - and has done well in defence too. His tackling has been good and despite his eagerness to get forwards, I never really feel he usually leaves us lacking in defence down the our right hand side.
Bradford fans had a lot of bad things to say about him and NKP (as well as Carlisle fans) but both have done well, particularly Mellor.

Our ‘best’ back 4 at the start of the season was Cooney, Lavelle, Davis, Gibson but due to injuries and covid etc, we’ve found that Mellor, Lavelle, K-P, Hendrie has also been superb for us. Hendrie has had his ups and downs but in his last few games he looked solid, and an upgrade on Conlan/Cranston imho.
