Geordie Boyo

I’d like to see him start against Fiorentina, just to see more of what he can do. He obviously hasn’t shown enough with us pursuing another long-term rightback, but maybe that’s the kick up the arse he’s needed. Otherwise a loan would benefit him.

Aye, it is difficult to say especially with Tonali thrown in the mix just position-wise who to play where. Then you’ve got your on-form players - do you leave them out ? Few games still to play, but certainly a better headache to have than struggling with having any options.

Our most productive midfield so far for me has been Gordon, Anderson, Miley, Almiron. Not what I expected, but very reassuring when we’ve got the likes of big joe, bruno, tonali, barnes and Murphy along with Willock still yet to come back…..and longstaff. Definitely some big positives there so far. Definitely feeling there’s enough fire power that can be used up front with Isak, Wilson and maybe Gordon, Anderson or Willock to use there too. The back definitely needs strengthening, which is strange to say considering they were the best in the league last season, but just generally a bit more depth in there and added strength at fullback either side. I think we’re looking good, but do need to work on match sharpness and fitness, which will come.

…..bloody hell thats bad that like.

Aye, time to move diddly on. too fiddly diddly and probably saved us a few middly widdly. What’s next on the raydidly?

I noticed there’s a thread there that seems to focus on supporting people with poor mental health. I think if we’re doing something like that then it’s obviously a bit fickle to do the opposite if there’s a feeling someone might feel targeted. It does get a bit cliquey at times, particularly when that’s happening. You can say it’s in jest and all, but it obviously can be difficult reading things the way they’re intended especially if you’re new. I’d just say to people to be mindful of that and I know you do get the odd arsehole who will deserve it, but otherwise just think that we don’t know the person , how old, what their mental state is, etc. it’s like when you get a new job and you’re obviously picking up the craic there and how peoples personalities are. It’s obviously more so difficult when you can’t see the person. if your names in red *cough rich cough* then definitely giving off that vibe will influence others too whether it’s positive or negative. Amazing what a colour can do…! I’ve worked in this field a long time and suffer myself so I’ve gained a lot over the years, but just thought I’d give it a mention (and I know it’s not the thread for it…!) but just with what I’ve picked up since coming back on here. I’ve been posting probably since around 2002 on Toontastic and just started again on here. I was a lot different back then to what I’m like now, but certainly recognise more due to my line of work and personal experiences. Just thought I’d give my point of view anyways following the talk with Jack, etc.

Terrible game, but nice to finish off with a win. The bairns actually brought the game alive!

GET IN!!!

Let’s get another!

Anderson again! Well in lad!

Need to bring maxi on.

Not pressing them at all….

Second best throughout . Would like to see miley get on early second half .

That looked comical. None-humorously comical.

50p heed…!

Fullbacks have done a job and some nice runs from barnes otherwise the odd through ball but not much created.

Aye, Murphys been a no-show first half. Obviously Barnes has been their main target on the left, but we need to get it over to break them up a bit .

1st half seemed to fly over…strangely. Need to get a hold of the game like. Definitely would like to see Miley get on the pitch -

Aye, don’t wanna see Bruno lose it with a daft tackle like. Have to keep an eye and maybe get Miley on if it’s time of the month for him. …is Jacob Murphy even playing!?

Very delayed the way he went down. Almost like he couldn’t be bothered to fall properly…

Aye, you can see they’re frustrated with their lack of sharpness. It’ll come. Just got to keep create chances

Some fucker has pulled Barnes on the nose. Ref needs to keep an eye.

Some good tackles, but not commanding the game at all . nice through ball for barnes. Need more of that.

Bit of a body check. Not a yellow like.
