    Players who are a little out of their comfort zone skill wise tend to make it up with effort and aggression. That's what's happening here.
    I'm sure Alex Neil and the coaches will be working hard with him on things like positional play, etc.to try to help him.

    Onien hasn’t looked out of his comfort zone at all last 2 games though.

    Agree,but I've said before on here,he's much better the deeper he plays as most of the game is in front of him. The point I was trying to make,I suppose,is that if he feels he's up against a more skilful opponent,he feels he needs to be aggressive.

    Dread to think what an 18 year old English international would cost!

    yeh but can’t control that. The reffing is what the reffing is. We should have finished with 9 men so Sheff Utd could have equal complaints. As would Coventry. And Jose :D

    O’Nien as a back up RCB is absolutely fine. Definitely his best position at this level.

    Could have been 8 men had the referee blew his whistle for Batth in the first half when he clipped that player's legs when he was through.

    I think O’Nien’s lack of top end speed leads to some of the lunges as well. He is diving in before the player gets away from him.

    He has been very good, credit to him. Mind you I do agree about the red card. Too many of our lads are getting carded this season for me. Good to see our backup lads did well last night. They all have parts to play this season for me.

    When we were relegated and started in the Championship in our new stadium I thought at least it will be easy getting a ticket as I was at university. How wrong I was as the Quinn Phillips pair caused sellouts every game.

    Not you just someone who doesn't see anything positive in safc. Have a read back and you will see who I mean.

    Contact was initiated by the forward who kicked his leg out and threw himself down. He wasn’t catching it anyway so, if it was given, it shouldn’t be more than a yellow

    Mind you it’s very frustrating that we haven’t heard anything yet considering how light we are, I know club will be working hard but I am getting worried now
