At the end of the day, whatever you think of McStay and Parrish, both are extremely competent right backs, and Adam will not win us any matches, so if we get a player in who can, that's great.
And Adam will get some confidence at a good club.
Mixed feelings for me. On the negative I think he gives the ball away to easily particularly when under pressure. On the plus side he was a great tackler and, when given the opportunity, was a very good attacking full back alongside Thommo and it's that we'll miss. Henry isn't an attacking full back and I've seen little from Adam Parrish to suggest he is either. Everyone's talking about long balls by-passing midfield and it's often through full backs pushing forward that this doesn't happen.
I remember Yatesy pushing forward when he was on trial and got into the box superbly. At Northwich, on his debut, he played a first time volleyed pass to feet over about 50 yards. He looked the mutt's nuts. Then remember his winner at Southport on Boxing Day to illustrate the benefits of him getting forward. Unfortunately I think he's had his attacking instinct knocked out of him, it's affected the rest of his play and he and the side have suffered as a result.
