    Suspect he might have been off at half time had we not got that pen. Really poor today, game was crying out for a more technical player.

    Did have one good run which nearly resulted in a goal and a slightly better 2nd half overall tbf but it needed to be Haksa starting in there today.

    I suspect he’s carrying something, we’ve got enough cover that he didn’t have to start today tbh.

    The weight of his pass is often terrible.

    He's not suited to playing in these * wee compact stadiums against wee * teams who set themselves up with compact defences.

    Same with Abada.

    He was limping a bit today, on and off - have a feeling the injury that he left the Japan squad for , is still hampering his ability

    Tight parks like that don’t suit him at all. He was really poor today until game opened up a bit even then his lack of football intelligence as well as technical ability really let him down in the final third. Anything beyond a very simple pass seemed beyond him today for the most part of the game.

    Games like today make me think Jota should be on the left.

    Again he will score and contribute for us.

    Yep said that before and so have many others.
    Manager sees it too coz he's taken him off at half time on a few occasions so it's bizarre he continually starts him.
    Hes definitely a favourite and will continually start despite us usually having better options on the bench.

    He had an off day today. He looked tired and lacked sharpness.

    There was a good cross into the box he should have been throwing himself at and didn't.

    He doesn’t have the footballing ability to play in games like today. Why Ange continues to play him in these type of games is beyond me. No room in behind them, no chance to use his one attribute which is pace. He has no dribbling skills to go past a man which is needed in a tight pitch against a team set up the way County were. Next Saturday maybe a different scenario when we need his pace.

    Not his best today but can't single him out really, we weren't great. Should have had at least one assist if it wasn't for poor finishing.

    Second half I thought he was brilliant, no surprise as soon as there was a bit more space.

    Such a hit or a miss with him against them. I hope Haksa or Abada start the semi, one of them is due a start v them:

    When not at his best he still makes a big impact closing down and forcing them into errors.

    Watched the game again there.

    I know what he offers us and I admire his professionalism and desire.

    But I really don’t like him as a player from a technical standpoint.

    I think the basics in his game are pathetic to be honest.

    So much so that his positive attributes are often cancelled out and made an irrelevance due to his limitations.

    Actually thought he had a decent game, dug in deep with the ugly work, ran himself into the ground, a nailed-on starter for me against Huns.
