Disagree, he was shit.

 

 

 

Yeah but from totally shit to shit is an improvement. Promising signs.

In fairness to him, I'm sure he was going through a load of mental issues. Injuries haven't helped of course

Like should I hold onto the ball loads and lose it or just pass it out wide.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Physically, he looks a lot better, and he's certainly looking more up for it, but the execution was really lacking last night for a couple of relatively simple passes.

He did some really good work retaining the ball and moving it out of the midfield scrum in the first place. Just a shame he messed it up with the pass at the end of it. 

[SiLvOR]

He looked a lot better, but the bar is very low right now. He's miles away from that world class assist against Spurs, not sure how he gets back there tbh

[Miggys First Goal]

Old Yeller was put down for less. 

[vexred]

Passenger 

[gbandit]

Not good enough mentally, just switches off all the time and has really poor instincts 

[Pilko]

Gives the ball away a disgraceful amount. Just offers absolutely nowt.

[1892er]

Done for me. Consistently bad nowadays. 

[Myleftboot]

Turned into shite.

[The College Dropout]

Lost all hope or faith in this lad.  Barely does anything productive. Loses the ball all the time. 

[Novocastrian]

It’s horrible to watch his decline, he’s got no physicality, agility or energy anymore. Remember that quick footed player who could run with the ball at pace? Not seen him for a couple of seasons.

He’s lost faith in his hammies.

[black_n_white]

Bit harsh to judge him after such a long spell on the sideline like. He was no worse than most of our attacking players today.

Kind of agree with the 1st sentence. Disagree with the 2nd. 

[KaKa]

Was quite disappointed we didn't bring in another central midfielder in the summer.

 

Just can't be relying on this guy for any meaningful minutes.

[r0cafella]

Surprised we didn't sell and replace this window. Not sure why he's still here. 

[midds]

Struggles to stay fit and when he does manage to do that he struggles to make any kind of impact in games these days. Not his fault, he just needs to be moved on and get a fresh start somewhere else - bit like Longstaff really

[Gallowgate Toon]

He really is absolutely dreadful now. So sad to see.

[Danh1]

Embarrassingly bad. Ramsey cannot be back quick enough. 

[nufc123]

The Burn/Willock passage where he barely bothered running up the ball up made me furious.

Apparently he’s some type of wide forward now. 
 

Miley, Hall, Thiaw etc. alll should be given some leeway for being rusty.

I'd agree the rest weren't much better, but that's not saying much.
