As he's not that quick footed it probably suits him to play slightly deeper. I'd imagine he's not in the enforcer mould, but more a deep lying playmaker. He could be an upgrade on Westwood for us.

It will be interesting to see whether a run of games has helped him increase his pace at all. He was desperately slow the last few times I saw him

He was desperately slow the last few times I saw himSo was Barry and he had a lot of criticism about his lack of pace at one time at B6, but it isn't just about pace, awareness and a football brain can add as much to a players capability as being able to run quickly.
How much would better off would Everton been this season had Barry not been so fat?
If we can beat Everton and look safe, i'd definitely throw him in against Southampton and Burnley whilst he's in form
Can we definitely not though? Is he of an age that he'd need to be declared in the 25? Does the loan finish once Forest season ends?

Does the loan finish once Forest season ends?Yes he'd need to be declared in the 25 he was 22 at the start of the season, the loan technically finishes on June 1st but both clubs can agree to an early termination (which often happens) but that's irrelevant.
