Yes but at 22 he's yet to make his 1st team debut and did not make the pre-season US squad.
But seems to have impressed in loan spells at Stevenage and last season at Gillingham (where he also appeared at CB) so a permanent move to a lower league club seems more likely.
I think Dier covering his ass did a lot to make him look good, not sure he actually improved significantly.
Glad he got the game, and got through the game, hopefully he can find some form from it.
But there can be no argument, he is clearly second choice right now.
Davies is the far more reliable performer, has been for a long time. Quiet quality. Rose, for all his bluster, has been a bit brick for a long time.
Davies is solid and dependable. I just think we need a bit more than that personally. I'd be gutted to lose him but if (and I accept it's a big IF) Rose can regain his top form then he's the superior player IMO.
Given how little first team football Rose has played, coupled with his stated issues with mental health, it’ll take a while for him to get back to (if he can) his previous form. And he’s a decent back up to Davies. I hope, for our sake and his, that he can get his groove back.He did OK no more then that, i hope he can return to the player he was a couple of seasons back but imo he is second choice behind Davies now.

Davies is excellent, but understated. Statistically as good as Rose at his best (as of a season or so ago) and has improved a great deal since.
He is better now, IMHO, that Rose ever was.
And, Rose isnt anywhere near as good as he was right now - with it being questionable as to whether or not he can get back there.
However Rose is "Dynamic" so people get blinded by his little legs going like Road Runners.

That Poch chose Rose for this key game is telling. It was his first game back for how long? It takes about 3 games to get into the swing of competitive matches imo.
Davies just doesn’t do enough. Solid, dependable but not as punchy going forward. Rose needs to settle and he’ll excel again.
Amazing how quickly fans get on his back after his first game back.
