After a couple of pages of the usual straw man stuff it might be easy to forget the original point. I didn't see anything of note from our new left back yesterday. If any of you disagree then please tell us what you think that he offers us.

I'm avoiding the question because it is not relevant to anything I've said. It leads from a misunderstanding of my original point. I suspect that you've probably been guided down that path by the other fellow though. So out of good will I will answer your original question anyway. I did not witness either of the three of these players making league debuts.

Well, we have had our fingers burned before and it will happen again. Your patience is commendable. Many would just make a rash judgement.

Hahaha! Nope!

I can only make sense of your comments if you are assuming that I've made some judgement about his potential contribution. I've not. That would be entirely your input. I'm saying that I didn't see anything of note during that match. If anybody can direct me to something of note then I will be most interested.

What's rash about it? Any judgement made refers to the 60 minutes in question.

Nope.

Who is making rash judgements?

Is that to say that you didn't see anything either?

A couple of points that occurred to me while watching the match yesterday. Goldson playing out from the back is really starting to annoy me. He has been surprisingly good at this in the past. Every time that I see it now he just slows play down even further. Too many touches and he is getting caught out very often when strolling forward with the ball. I think the latter point might even be three matches in a row. I'm a bit concerned about the contribution by Ridvan Yilmaz. What does he offer that we don't already get from Barisic? It's not even ninety minutes but I didn't see anything to suggest there might be more to come.

A very good result.

A very good goal indeed.

The tactics were wrong. The forward line did next to nothing because it was completely cut off from everything behind it. If Morelos was playing then we could just punt it up to him. That wasn't an option. Why didn't the manager play Tillman deeper?

Your post is like manna from heaven for a pedant like me.

I'm reminded of the best thing about selling Calvin Bassey. Even better than all the money. Never again will I need to put up with some guy cheering on "big Shirley" for 90 minutes.

Jon McLaughlin kept us in it after a horrific Goldson mistake in the second half.

I suspect he was thinking that losing by one goal could be tolerated.

B.B.C. going to great lengths here. Glad I kept my £150 again.

I understand that many find it difficult in the immediate aftermath of a painful defeat. Surely there is a level of cowardly nonsense below which one can not sink.

That's the spirit! No surrender!

I don't think Union are that good but we have left ourselves with a lot to do.

Love this strip. It really is simply the best.
