Yeovil's new loan signing Martin Cranie has been given the seal of approval from his central defensive partner Terrell Forbes.
Glovers boss Russell Slade swooped to snap up Cranie from Southampton after skipper Terry Skiverton picked up an injury and Scott Guyett is ruled out through suspension.
Cranie made his debut in Saturday's goalless draw at Leyton Orient and Forbes was pleased with his first impressions of the player.
He said: "Losing Skivo is such a big blow to us. We were working well together and had a good defensive record.
"But now Martin Cranie has come in from Southampton and he knows what this club is all about because he grew up in Yeovil. He's also a very good player."
