    Complete freak own goal, but Vickers gets away with it as a result of everything he's done for the team.

    What I loved though was how quickly his team mates rallied around him and offered support. Loved that.

    Shame it didnt drive the performance levels up though the rest of that half, which I couldnt get my head around.

    Tonight was an example of how if that midfield aren't all on it, how badly we can be exposed at that level. It wasn't mcgregors issue either at the base, it was the two in front.

    Onyedika is some player would love someone like him. Sniffed out danger constantly.

    Think the big man is still not fully fit, he's been the least impressive cb for us this season, not that he's been *, just for me the other 2 have been better.

    Still for me our best defender but I'd try and leave him out a bit in time games.

    Thought he wasn't at his best tonight either.

    OG aside didn't think he was great at all. Definite step down in performance. Wouldn't be surprised if he's playing with an injury again as looked slow and hesitant at times to me.

    Can see him being rested on Saturday.

    Him and Trusty were excellent defensively tonight.

    Got pushed too deep too often so wouldn't agree. Too many sideways passes between the CBs too, partly because midfield went missing but still not great as again kept us too deep in our own half for too long. Didn't look to play the longer ball out which I think is something he does well.

    I do think he's carrying a niggle, but given how often he's unavailable not sure that's a great excuse all the time.

    Nonsense.

    Never lost an aerial duel nor a physical one.

    Why would he play long balls to no one offering an out?

    Aye, bar the own goal he had a very good game tonight.

    Wasn’t a great night for him, regardless of the OG. Tells you how good he’s been, though, when an off-night is so remarkable.

    Fine, your happy with that performance. I've explained what I thought wasn't great.

    Kyogo made a few runs on the basis he was going to do just that.

    You've stated points on why you think he had a poor performance, but you're wrong.

    Ive watched the OG again, it has to be Vickers' fault, passed blindly so his mistake to bear.

    That's as much as he can be criticised on.

    He had a good game, and Trusty beside him too who was even better.

    Defensively was brilliant but was so slow on the ball for most of the game until late on he finally started driving forward with it more.

    I don’t really blame him too much for the OG, should never play a blind pass but Kasper in wrong position and there was 3 opportunities before the ball came to CCV to get it forward.

    No it wasnt.

    Vickers passed it without looking.

    It happened, it is what it is.

    Schmeichel was showing for a pass from Kühn. The own goal is on Cameron.

    Shocker from the big man but it’s super rare.

    I said he wasn't great and it's a step down in performance and that I think part of that is he's still carrying an injury.

    If you think that's CCV at his normal level then fine. I don't.

    Yeh, OG was completely his fault. He's got credit in the bank but he has used some of it there.

    The pass to CCV was there the entire time. He doesn’t need to be showing for Kuhn that far out the goal. Its * mental, if any player is getting out of that situation its Kuhn.
