mattjtsmith Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The unpredictable pick today! Caught me out. Good on the lad How did he play?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Probably the weakest link and dodgy at times, but considering his experience and being debut dos the job. Personally would prefer little back....Zac made a couple of mistakes which on another day could of lead to goals. But part of a defence that didn't concede....well done and congrats to him.

Taylor10 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Very well. So much more comfortable on the ball than Little. He was a bit naive at times but as far as debuts go that was impressive. Fair play to the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Is he a natural right back? Without knowing too much about him I had assumed he was a centre back. Few shaky moment for a 19 year old on his debut can be forgiven especially if no real harm is done. Hopefully his confidence will grow should be stay in/around the team.

cidered abroad Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Congrats to Zak on his debut. Now that is out of the way you can now continue building your career ar Bristol City. And it must give all the Academy boys a real boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Made a couple of errors but entirely forgivable considering it was his debut. Be interesting to see if he keeps his place for Tuesday against better quality opposition. Good to see a youngster starting for the first team.

BigAl&Toby Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Given his age and first team experience he was excellent. Strong first half, less so second. Those around him helped out. Solid performance all round from all. And as I've said elsewhere criminal that SC chose not to play him sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyolly Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thought he showed a good deal of confidence and can see why LJ had no problem giving him a start. Totally different sort of player to Little but all good for competition for places. Great to have another local lad in and around the team.

ChippenhamRed Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Consider the fact that barely a month ago we played West Brom and Cotterill only named 6 subs - Vyner was not one of them. Today Vyner has been trusted with a first team place, and by all accounts done quite well. Yet Cotterill preferred to have an empty seat on the bench. What must that have done for the confidence of Vyner and others like him? It really was appalling man-management. It's not hard to imagine the effect Cotterill must have been having on our young players. Huge credit to Lee Johnson for reversing this trend.

No quibbles with LJs comment, I felt exactly the same first half, looked like he'd played the level all his life - few loose touches second half but on the whole a higher class of academy debut than we used to get about a decade or more ago.

Frenchay Red Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Did well, considering the importance of the game. Look quite comfortable on the ball, but, as has been said, a few errors and got done for pace s couple of times by the left winger. Fortunately his end product was woeful. I thought Freeman suffered from a lack of service a bit, as the link up play from Vyner needs s bit of work IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It''s criminal that Cott''s left spaces on the bench instead of giving player like ZV some matchday experience, makes no sense just SC spitting the dummy or trying to prove a point.

redfieldred Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 1st half looked good. Second I think MK decided to focus on his side and he got beaten for pace a few times. Will be great experience for him, certainly has talent, just needs some more nouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 1st half he was fine apart from one dodgy backpass. 2nd half it became clear he was not used to this level and was skinned a few times. Still, promising for the future and would really benefit from some games out on loan I think. Real issue being that we don't have enough players to do it currently.

Probably wrong thread go latch onto but I have been annoyed we haven't gone out and got a striker but today like Charlton away as well, we bring on Agard and Wilbs and it's like having a first choice striker pairing out there, they're all over the defence. Maybe just maybe we were alright as we are. Another word for Wilbs, old club and by a fluke I saw him when I went into and out of the main stand before and after the game and a total class act, took photos with everyone and chatted to City fans both before and after, and seemed to charm several MK Dons fans after too. Carries himself like one of those casual done-it-all-before humble to the last pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got caught in possession twice in the second half and understandably tired a bit towards the end, but I thought he was excellent. Very good at using the ball, a decent turn of pace and won his share of aerial challenges. As someone who supported Cotterill I have to say if he didn't think he was worth a place on the bench when we were short of numbers, then on today's evidence he was badly mistaken.

Fatalist Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 If anything, he got over confident and lost posession later on. I thought he was outstanding first half.his first touch was an accurate first time pass. I thought it was the most impressive debut since Louis Carey.
