Shak

Gonna keep banging the drum for us to view Elanga primarily as a LW competing with Barnes going forward and buy a ball playing leftie for the RW spot (or two, ideally). We really desperately miss having a wide player who is a bit of a #10 in one of the wide spots. Almiron’s issues with his final ball were pretty severe but his interplay with Bruno and Trippier did serve us well. We been linked with anyone at all that fits that description or we gonna persevere with trying to recapture that lighting in a bottle right footed RW setup we had with Murphy and Isak?

I like how you have seemingly put massive thought into it and then specifically decided against it

@Ameritoon watch your letterbox, mate.

I mean there was still a decent bit of time left and the ref has had to blow it up because they wouldn’t get off the pitch. Looked like there were some knackers getting physical with Hearts players and all. There is an argument that result shouldn’t stand, surely?

And no invite for your old pal Shak? I see how it is.

Off the pitch you gimps.

Some absolutely grim football here all the same, even given the moment

Gets brought on in the 88th minute when they’re 3-0 up and gets to lift the trophy.

I think as an Irish person I’m supposed to be happy about this but it’s shite like.

God winding you up about this for years is gonna be class.

It was fuck.

Was a clear interception and all.

Your hatred for him seems to have softened, sad to see.

Relieved. We are definitely at a point where you could very much justify moving on from him, but he has so very thoroughly earned a bit of patience and a chance to go at it again with a better summer window behind him than the disaster we had this season. Hopefully one takeaway from this season has been that if he is going to continue to succeed here then he needs to be able to trust and work with someone who leads recruitment. If we start hearing reports at some point that he and Wilson are clashing over targets then it might just be a case that he isn’t cut out for managing a big club with the ambitions we have. There is far too much to do for one man, he needs to be allowed to focus on what he does best while allowing other people to do the things he struggles at. Noises seem positive regarding summer, much bigger pool of targets and sounds like everyone pulling in the same direction. Looking forward to a refreshed squad and a hopefully rejuvenated Eddie.
