Well, Bont was ready pretty much immediately and Scharenberg went straight to the Pies injury list.
The other slight was pace. Just look at him be a predator for the footy and you realise pace is one thing, intent and positioning to get the footy is the other.

I wanted Billings, and would definitely still have him if he was available. We could do wonders with that lad in our system.
