Poor old Mark, he’s not a right back although ok a s a wing back but he’s asked to play right back and played really well against the part timers, his slip was unfortunate but there was a lot to do for them to score from there still.
His passing was excellent at times spreading the play and that Rb through the middle of the park!
Shame he doesn’t get a seven just for being on the pitch like some eh
I assume Rodgers must have got Thomas injured now as well?
As for Rodgers, WTF was Maddison brought on for, the game was won and there’s plenty of others who
Should have got some game time, another disastrous sub from Brenda.
4-1 sounds good but it was a stroll, som much so that apart from a couple up front that’s what most of the team did in the first half, so dull and boring it was like
The crowd had fallen asleep.
Oh well, come Monday his job will be on the line once again, not long now before the decision is final, let’s hope he doesn’t get too many more injured before he leaves.
Come on Dunge - I can’t believe you haven’t given Vestergaard MOTM. Imperious performance leading the back line like Maldini in his prime against a terrorising attack.
Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration but I’m pleased for him. I hate seeing a footballer’s confidence fall through the floor at our club. If we start to play a deeper line, he can still offer something, although if not for his ans our sake let him go to a club that does.
Hard to review much else though as Randers were so so poor. It was like a pre season friendly at times.
I still worry we look a bit disjointed.
I get the Drinkwater comparison but for me KDH is better in all departments. He can work so well in tight spaces like DD never could. His only weakness is when he has space - he panics! But if his job is to break up the play, get the ball in tight spaces and beat the press we’ve got a real talent on our hands.
The problem for KDH when breaking at pace is that Barnes becomes his only viable outlet, every other player just runs alongside a defender, Barnes stops or pulls out wider the receive the ball, no one else try’s to find any space at all.
Hi all, I didn't see the match but it sounds like we were better, albeit against a not very good side.
I've had a look at the highlights, but just so I can get more of a feel of the performance, at what level would Randers be in our pyramid?

Well I thought they looked half reasonable in the first ten minutes and was a little concerned that this was not going to be an easy game. They certainly moved the ball about quickly and showed good movement. We did grow into it though and had it not been for two or three excellent saves by their keeper, we would have been comfortably ahead at the break. Fair to say they tired significantly in the second half and we barely gave them a sniff.
Probably on a par with Nuneaton Town
If the bottom of the pyramid is 10 and the top is 1, i would say they were about 12!

Absolutely brilliant song - 'some people say'
Some people say Randers were League 2 standard, but that’s probably unfair.
They were struggling for sharpness as you’d expect given their long break and they did tire. They likely felt they didn’t do themselves justice. But all the more reason why we needed to bag several in the first leg, which the crowd recognised.
It was hard to say exactly what standard they were as compared to English leagues. What can be said is that drawing 1-1 at half time really flattered them and it could have been more. But it won’t be so easy in the return leg and we’ll likely see something more like their true ability.

They were that poor Vestergaard was one of the best players on the pitch!
