    Hume would have got it but dived in 2 or 3 times when he didn't need too and it really put us under the cosh.

    Because he doesn’t work hard enough. Bellingham got booked fir a foul on the edge of his own box, Hemir would’ve still been in the centre circle

    Hemir was the only one I seen win a long ball at the end there to be fair to the lad

    Depends on the game for me. I don't want my 9 doing that to be honest. Rather they stayed up top. Jobe offered nothing as a forward. Nowt. Pressed in the false 9 thats it.

    Not sure me. Think this maybe his ceiling. Won't be popular but he always dives in against quick players because he knows he will get dusted.

    Agree. Wasn't favourite either.

    Hemir looked a bit leaner and stronger. Just on the eye anyway.

    Fair play to the defence for those 4 clean sheets in 5.

    Decent disciplined defensive display that still held a threat when we did go forward. Got away with a couple of decisions but got some dodgy yellows, no idea why you can’t give a foul without a booking these days!

    These young lads will come on loads after a tuff steep learning curve of a season, will I’d hope they will anyway!

    Hemir is by far the most natural number 9 we have. I feel for him as he shouldn’t have the expectation on his shoulders that he has here. He’ll come good, eventually. But he needs someone infront of him.

    Also, I love O’Nien. He does not have the instincts of a central defender though. Looks good against lesser opposition, but he doesn’t have the nouse of a CB - so naive at times.
