Well, this is going to be a bit like choosing a tasty morsel from a vegan wedding spread but hey, we had a couple of moments. Fill your boots TEF.

Considering the occasion, can't we just give it to all of them?

KKH then Lyden

Lyden for me.

KKH for me.

KKH for me but credit to Iandolo who had a good game considering the stick he gets on here.

KKH probably showed his best defensive performance of the season.

He and Lyden were mostly responsible for keeping the score down in the first half. Shame Lyden couldn't find that one header in the box to score.

kkh by a county mile
McKirdy put in a massive shift too, ran and ran into his legs cramped.

midfield were always going to be the most over worked. great effort

KKH had Jesus (sort of) in his pocket.

KKH easily, City fans seem to be raving about him. Hopefully he keeps playing like tonight and Villa don’t recall him.

KKH - superb performance.

Yep. KKH for me, too. Lyden was very good as well. Keeping him fit will be a huge boost for the rest of the season.

Ward played well - don’t get the griping about the goal. It’s what he’s told to do.

In fact, nobody had a bad game. It’ll mean fuck all, though, if we don’t go up this season.

KKH. He didn't look out of place against our opponents

Had a message during the game last night, "Your right-back won't be hanging around for long." His best game for us, really good defensively as well the more usual flair.

Only one KKH.

Head and shoulders above the rest but can't fault any of them for effort even though Gladwin is as slow as a tank!

KKH quite easily, he was excellent. Just saw this gem on one of the Facebook pages. There are some special people out there:

Kessler Haydon as far as I’m concerned can go.
Had a great game tonight when he was in the spotlight.
Last week against Stevenage he could hardly be bothered to run.
He enjoyed all the fan’s applause at the end, but carefully hiding a City shirt under his arm.
Does he want to play for STFC or just further his own career?

Make a decision lad.

I saw that and spat my beer out

Very mature performance from KKH, now do it again on a Tuesday night in Mansfield.

The vote of the massively hungover jury goes to McKirdy.

hunk, Jeez, I hope that some sort of weird fishing attempt

I don’t think he replied after the post so probably just fishing. Rather sad one way or the other

KKH by a fucking country mile, full of running all game.

Yep agree.

Also would like to point out how good a player Jordan Lyden is. Couple fantastic blocks/tackles (one after the penalty save) and definitely allows us to move it quicker when we're in the oppositions defensive third. Could be a huge player for us in the 2nd half of the season if we can keep him fit. I like to think the approach to take time to bring him back to full fitness will be beneficial and it'll be like a new signing for us.

Lyden was probably my 2nd choice, did the dirty stuff in midfield and rarely put a foot wrong, followed by McKirdy and Simpson for their non stop running.

Simpson didn't run non stop.

he's a big lad and probably needs to conserve energy to make runs at the right time. so no complaints.

loved it when whichever city player tried to go in hard to win the ball and ended up bouncing off into his side.

Simpson has really developed, still a bit more to come too like releasing the ball at the right time. Really like him

KKH was superb.....arguably thats the most defensively solid performance I have seen from him and it came against the best opposition!

Hopefully we can keep him for the rest of the season and I’m sure he will find himself loaned to a top L1 or Championship club next year.

Has Flasheart forked off?  Who upset him?  Own up..

he appears occasionally after a match, but pretty much gone yeah.

shame

at least he didn't delete his account in a hissy fit.

He still occassionally reads this but has had his fill on here.

He still watches games though but doesnt feel the need to post his views any more.

Your right back did well from the bits I saw.

If only he was our RB. Villa’s unfortunately.

See it’s going well at Lincoln. 2 down and 1 sent off.

You need to bin Robinson

bar codes losing to Cambridge in the Brophy v Ritchie match...

wombles being done 2-0 by Boreham Wood

We're 5th. In League One.

Yeah, but you know how it’ll eventually end.

I hope mystical goat isn’t quoting the above post come May….

 ;D

Preserved for posterity.

KKH was clearly man of the  match - we wondered if playing against a Prem League team - less physicality - from the opposition - more like the style he will have played in PL U21s etc

My Dad, who has no real interest in football at all, watched the game last night and said KKH was our best player.

Looks like the bottling is starting early this season

Morecambe A Sunderland H Fleetwood A next three.

honestly, last time I looked at the table I thought they had a chance of auto. so I stuck my head in the sand there.

delightful

could still go up of course...

With them playing Sunderland next Saturday they should get a bigger crowd than us😀

You’d think so.

Nah

Not many fancy Salford for the play offs but they're bang in form. Also abit Worthing that wellens has got Orient firing again which makes that game even more difficult than it would have been.
