It's good that the project striker we shouldn't have signed played well and scored when he came on.

With a bit of luck Dessers watery eye will keep him on the sidelines until Christmas think of what we could do with a half decent centre forward

Definitely lucky with the butland blunder, should have been a goal IMO. However, we were also denied a stonewall penalty for the handball. How many times have we seen similar given against us. The referee wasn't great, but at least the two mistakes evened out. 

I think they got both of those decisions correct. 

 

The player doesn't get the ball so it's a foul. Soft, but it's a foul.

 

The lad's arm is on the ground when it hits his arm so it's not a penalty. Those are the rules.

Missed the game live but saw it when I got home from the gig. 

 

Like others have said, we got lucky with the Butland "foul" but as PC said afterwards it didn't stop Butland having a decent game after it. However not the first time he's looked slow and uncomfortable with the ball at his feet.

 

Scored 4 great goals and in previous seasons its been "Tav Thursday", now turning into "Tom Lawrence Thursday". Lawrence (like a lot of our players) gets a lot of unfair criticism but he has shown he can score regularly at this level. Hoping his injury isn't too serious, bit knowing our luck.......

 

Cerny took both his goals really well, especially the 2nd which was a fantastic team goal. 

 

Great to see Igamane scoring, but like the manager said, let's not hype him up into something he is not. The lad will need time to develop and isnt a player who'll play 60 games a season (yet).

 

Didn't think the hand ball form the Bajrami cut-back was a penalty, not much the guy could do as he was sliding to block the cross. 

 

Overall a decent performance and result but let's be honest FCSB weren't very good.

Kilmarnock weren't very good on Sunday but they won. You can only beat who is in front of you. FCSB beat POAK away from home last time round and they are second in the Greek league at the moment. Several places above Olympiakos. That suggests they are of a decent enough standard.

I'm expecting contract extensions for certain players and the manager after last night's historic victory.

FCSB were rotten last night - we deserved our win, there were some positives to take from the game (sounds like our victory in Malmo) but let's not get carried away. 

 

As the manager said himself, we need to do what we did for the majority of the game last night consistently, game after game. Something we haven't managed this season.

I think as a support we tend to get too high after a win and too low after a defeat. Many were far too negative, end of the world etc after Sunday and many are far too high after last night, world beaters again. 

 

Lets see what Sunday brings.
