    Sitting in the concourse today for one game only and it’s given me an even better view of O’nien. (normally behind the goal in south). F*ck me this lad must perform miracles in training.

    His biggest asset seems to be how well he carries and passes the ball to get us going from the back?

    He’s just awful mate he looks like he’s got no idea where he’s meant to be. It’s either throw myself in and hope for the best or nout at all. Literallt as I posted the message they won a corner and he’s cuddling one of their players all the way through the box. If the ball is closer to that player it’s a penalty.

    Hume getting to grips with Millar now I think.

    We've done the right thing slowing the game down after the goal ...

    ... not exciting but it's professional.

    Agree with the commentator, Ekwah's probably been our best player.

    Just watch him. Dragged out of position constantly, can’t defend in the box at all so tries to grab hold of people and turn everything into a scrap, doesn’t look comfortable on the ball when there’s an opposition player within a few yards. People must’ve had their eyes closed the first 15 minutes.

    Anyone can stand in their own half and pass a ball when there’s no pressure on them.

    Grow 4 inches and put on 2 stone?

    Best ball carrying centre back in the league is Luke. Unmatched.

    Strange game starting to look so good on the ball but so wide open when we don’t have it. Settle my nerves if we tighten up a bit out of possession

    Nice play from Rusyn there, he looks good. Makes space upfront and looks a constant threat.
