Strong defensively in clean sheet
Omar Alderete registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Alderete delivered a strong defensive performance, leading his side with three interceptions to match his season high, along with five clearances and two tackles to help secure his 10th clean sheet in 31 starts this season. The centre-back has now recorded at least one tackle in nine of his last 10 matches.
Option for play
Alderete (undisclosed) is an option for play again as the club prepares to face Nottingham Forest on Friday, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "For Omar, it was just that point. Last week we were just on the edge, so we didn't mention it, but it was important for the game, and it should be OK for tomorrow."
Analysis: Alderete had to leave the last match early, but is already back in the saddle and set to play, with the defender deemed fit again. The club receives a major boost in the backline as their primary defender returns to action, likely to return to a starting role. He has shown his worth since joining the club this campaign, recording two goal contributions and eight clean sheets in 29 appearances (28 starts).
