Mate chill. You are constantly in the trenches.

Doctor Waller? He came back last season and everyone made the joke about his special coffee beans. Idk if he's any good though. I didn't want to say it at the time but it just looked like Cortés didnt want to know against their full back tbh. Very innocuous on the replays. Hopefully he's not out long having said that.

What's stranger is that I've seen 0 links to strikers that fit the role of what we're currently doing with Dessers. Caveat of Shankland aside. Bizarre really.

Theoretically.

Bear in mind a lot of prem teams are slow out of the blocks down south (City most notably). The season doesn't start properly for me until after the October intl break. If we're still in touch or better by then then the work in pre season should see us through the rest of the way.

His remit would've been heading up recruitment as well as the football operations - that's what DOF's do. Jurgen Klopp didn't want Mo Salah famously but Michael Edwards (the DOF) pushed it through and the rest is history. Brendan Rodgers wanted Christian Benteke and not Roberto Firmino. The days of managers making signings are long gone unless you're Dick Campbell at Arbroath or the like. GVB was probably offered Matondo and he took it, similar to Davies. That doesn't mean they were HIS signings, if you get what I mean. If he really was that involved in recruitment then we were more of a shitshow than I realised. Beale I understand because there wasn't a DOF or HOR (Koppen). Look where that got us.

In his defence they probably weren't his signings, Ross Wilson was partial to an EFL prospect and the Belgian market.

Butland and Barron the standouts for me - hopefully Pröpper can come in and be a voice of calm at the back because we move like the balls a grenade in defence.

Aahh well. Clean sheet, not the end of the world. But our defending was atrocious.

Our defending man. You'd laugh if it wasn't your team.

We're just a really poor side.

Cortés could be the biggest myth we've had in years. Not that it's his fault, the lad just can't get on the pitch.

Barron has been very good though imo.

Clean sheet and a goal here lads. C'mon.

Also if Clement is wedded to being this direct and hitting the no 9 then go and recruit a specialist for it. Dessers more often than not loses his aerials and it's coming straight back at us. Fucking McBurnie would actually make sense in this system! Persisting with this game plan when your forwards can't hold or link play consistently is insanity.

Davies and Lawrence off for me. Ones a bombscare and the other has gone awol, which has probably led to him losing his head a bit and charging with his elbows.

Is it fuck, you've got 5 subs. If Clement was proactive he'd make at least one at HT - it doesn't eat into the number of times you can make a change.

If that's the case put McCausland on. Lawrence can't run for love nor money.

That's a pen btw.

We're fortunate Dhanda couldn't hit a cows arse from a corner.

Souttars heading is chronic.

We're very pedestrian atm.

I've got the fear looking at that lineup ngl. Bit of zip in our play and good shape and structure off the ball would be good.

Can't just be me waking up at 6 on a Saturday wondering why I'm up so early then clocking it's the Rangers at 12.30. Sad bastard! C'mon lads, good win today please.

Bloated beyond belief mate. Worst part was half the squad was crocked too.
