2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

Yeah there's no complaints with him defensively. Just leaves a bit to be desired going forward that is all. But perfect for what we need at the moment and will be a good understudy to a more cultured player when we start to improve our team.

Leaves a bit to be desired is a very kind way of putting it. You're not going to find a worse full back on the ball in the league and it kills the balance of our team.

Defensively OK again. Got caught out a few times, did well on other occasions. Still needs to be a priority to find a replacement.

Played well today, he’s ok with attackers than run at him he struggles massively if they attack the space behind him.

Couple of good headers at the back post as well which I’ve always thought he struggled at.

Good game today, well in Myko lad

He’s very good when we play defensively.

Can’t fault him today.

Theres not too many top notch left backs these days. I named a few a week or two ago in the transfer thread but very hard to find them and no certainties.

I think we should bring in an u21 left back to develop and persist with Mykolenko until that youngster can oust him.

For me i think we need to spend big on other positions for now.

Slated when he's been off his game, got to commend him when he's been solid. Expectation is the issue, he'll never be more than solid at his very best. That's not a him issue as such. Another clean sheet.

We're so lucky to be blessed with a player of his calibre. Here's to another 100.

Never have I see a player go from abysmal to world class so often as Vita.

Love ye lad.

When it's backs to the wall he's actually pretty decent. It's when we need him to get up the pitch and contribute something where he struggles. I expect he'll look decent against City but then look poor against Forest.

Still relatively young for a defender. Was very good today against two different challenges in Neto and then Madueke. Won both, just.

Reckon he's as good as Hibbert yet?

…that’s a very low bar they’re fighting over

Hibbert was probably slightly better. His delivery improved season on season but at the same age then it's a close call

Exactly this. A half decent left back should have been one of the priorities in the summer. Was his best game for us all season today but he’s been extremely poor up until now and would have been dropped by any normal team.
