Popular Post A Horse With No Name Posted January 21, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Just thought he needs a thread of his own. That was as complete a performance as I have seen in many a year, made the goal as well with a run and shot. Plus he now has a song. Any scouts watching somebody else couldnt fail to be impressed. Well done Zac. 10/10. 20 1 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yep, he’s getting better and better. Excellent performance today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought he was brilliant, again. Wish he didn’t listen to the shouts of Shooooot though, that was poor! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubStixx Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Commanding performance against a potent attack. Pleased for him. He came under a lot of criticism and has responded brilliantly. A highlight from today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Totally different player out there this season. Fully deserves the plaudits! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Someone who I thought was making up the numbers and not a competitive championship player last season goes on to become a top performer this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 His time was nearly up for him in a Bristol City shirt. But he has comeback and proved his doubters wrong, including me. Nigel Pearson has been a massive influence on his progression IMO. Love it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Yep, great performance. One dodgy header near the end and a heavy touch resulting his yellow (according to the slightly odd Blackburn forum, if the ref had been consistent, that was a straight red, despite their player getting 2 yellows) were two slight errors, but moved the ball really well, quickly getting it to teammates in space and some very good longer passes. Plus great set up for the goal and all on top some very assured defending. Think scouts looking for a decent CD might look at Zak, which few would have thought until this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Vyner did well today and certainly made the equaliser, but I also thought the whole of the back four did well. It was a shame Naismith was a statue for their goal on first look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I’ve kept my powder dry until now. Always thought he has a mistake in him, but they’ve been very few and far between nowadays which has coincided with our upturn in form. Well done Zak. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Zac. 10/10. Player of the season so far. A real credit to him to grow into the player he is becoming after all the criticism . Still makes a few catastrophic mistakes but he is improving all the time . Fair play to the lad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Been most improved player this season. The song for him is shocking though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Confidence is massive in football and his recent performances really appear to have helped. I think he believes in himself more now, and that has improved the way he plays. If we're honest, we've been a pretty poor team for the past few seasons and have conceded alot of goals, which can be difficult to deal with if you're not strong minded. Massive credit to him for his improved performances and consistancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolsch Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Another great performance from Zak. At fault for the goal but that wasn’t one to over scrutinise, it was just a nice bit of play and movement really. He’s formed a good partnership with Atkinson. I think him and Tanner compliment each other superbly also and they have a good understanding which is only going to improve. Head and shoulders our player of the season so far, he’s been Mr Consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I was always nervous with him on the pitch & after that debacle away at Swansea last season I was 100% he was done in a city shirt. I never thought it was a technical thing with him . I just thought he couldn’t concentrate & switched off all the time. somethings clicked because he’s been superb this season . Takes a lot of mental strength the come back as well as he has. Well done Zak 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Until this season I’ve never really rated him, thinking that the Championship just wasn’t his level. How wrong was that?! He’s been great this season and was superb today. Also his new song is superb, the Section 82 lads did a great job slowing it right down then coming back in loud!

BrizzleRed Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 If you ever needed an example of why you shouldn’t write a player off to quickly, Zac has to be it. He’s proved a lot of us fans wrong and become someone you’re really happy to see on the teamsheet. Massive well done and respect to the bloke.

Davefevs Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 What was good today was that he allowed Tanner to play quite wide today at RB to nullify BBD. He didn’t need Tanner tucked in because Vale didn’t really offer any threat. Not downplaying his performance, but him and Big Rob had a very comfortable afternoon. Surprised Gallagher didn’t come on, guess the red card changed that? He had a good game though, not disputing that at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 There was another thread made after one of his other great performances. That echoed much of what's been said tonight. He's playing well, the extent of his improvement is huge, and next season he is going to be an absolute key member of our team. I'm so pleased that he (and his academy classmate O'Leary) is doing so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been interesting how the game would have been affected if they had made an attacking sub just before a defender going off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) As one of his previous critics, my humble pie is happily eaten. As he's matured as a man, he's becoming one of the first names on the team sheet and he's finally cut out his weekly big mistake and become a classy defender. Well done for proving this old cidered wrong Zac, good on you! Edited January 21, 2023 by Ska Junkie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 As those who sit around me in the South Stand will attest, I probably like Zac more than a 38 year old man really should... Glad everyone else is coming around to my way of thinking finally 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
