    Great win and another 4 goals
    Shame about the games that we struggle to create chances in to even score

    Of course, we have 4 very good CBs at this level. They will have ups and down through the season for sure. For me, out of the 3, Vyner was the stand out today.

    Imo Vitek saved Vyner's blushes when he clawed the ball out for his world class save.
    Vyner misjudged the deep cross, he just jumped underneath it.

    How much we getting 2.5 to 3 million done deal I reckon.

    when McNally returns it will be Atkinson-Dickie-McNally as a three.
    Vyner will be surplus

    McNally did his ACL didn’t he? Don’t think there can be any guarantee he will return to his best form.

    Nor back in the time they say he will. Took Atkinson two years didn’t it and still has to game monitored.
    Says 1.75 million rejected that’s all I know. Thats your opinion of the back three. I would say in would be Atkinson McNally and Vyner. Dickie is slowing up and will get targeted soon.

    I agree Dickie will become slower.
    Nevertheless he is imo our only CH.
    The other 3 play best alongside a CH.........and again imo Vyner is the weakest.

    Atkinson had several injuries, one after the other though didn’t he, it shouldn’t take 2 years normally.

    In relation to Vyner I can’t see him going unless there is offer significantly higher than £1.75m. He’s been the standout performer of the back 3 this season and last, and his injury record is second to none.

    there are some that are never able to be biased! [ RR heart on his sleeve!!lol ] that once develop a negative almost for ever never able to change tack! not going to list them but playing elsewhere championship! continue to give above average performances to other clubs .. that have left here under a "cloud" .. I would at this moment in time be sorry to see ZAK leave unless it is his wish! and not the clubs!

    I agree Dickie leads the defence and marshall’s the others. Zak is the weakest in the area and definitely not as physical as Dickie, but his speed, comfort with the ball at his feet and passing ability (more than 5 yards) exceed Atkinson, and far exceed Dickie for me. I think one of Dickie or Atkinson drop out when McNally is back. I would be very worried about being exposed with either Atkinson and Dickie as the RCB, we would get destroyed by fast players who keep it on the deck and look to play it in behind.

    Vyner does more organising than you think, watch him next time, he’s constantly talking and organising.

    I agree, I think he’s a very good defender, I’ve been largely a lone voice on her for years over this point. Yes, he makes mistakes, who doesn’t, Atkinson on Sat, Dickie vs SU in the play-off semi.
