I think I'd prefer McCrorie to Ejaria here.

Surprised Jack wasn't booked for that...

Hahahahahaha!
What the f*ck was that!?
Goldson booked for the Aberdeen player diving.
Par for the course.

I think Windass is done now too.

I think Murphy's race is run.

I looked at the clock: it was 46:16...
Long half.

Blow the whistle ref!
It's running down the inside of my leg...

Tavernier with a well-taken penalty. He sure can strike a ball!

Penalty Rangers.
Should that not be a red card, for denying a goal-scoring opportunity?

SG went to a 4-5-0 initially, but it's more a 4-3-2 now, with Murphy and Windass playing in the channels just in front. That leaves a loot of work for Coulibaly and Arfield to cover wide areas.

What!?
Is that it? That's barely a yellow. Ridiculous.

Chip it!
Should've scored.

Did anyone confirm the sell-on clause with Waghorn?
SSN reporting Middlesbrough have agreed an undisclosed fee with Ipswich.

When you see Windass is starting...

I switched over to the Sunderland-Charlton game after Stokes took the final wicket.
When you look at the Jack Ross' Sunderland team, it's who's who of players who have had brief 'success' in Scottish football: McLaughlan, Loovens, Ozturk, Matthews, Maguire and Oviedo.
I suppose it illustrates the dangers of allowing a manager full control of transfers.
Charlton lead 0-1.

Not sure about Henty as he did nothing against us but bandyheidic would be an excellent recruitment.
Nothing really came off for him -- just like the rest of their team, to be fair -- but I felt he was their main danger.
The Left-back looked solid.

A deep lying inside forward or attacking wing half. Got it now. “Midfielder” is a modern term for me.
I hope Compo is reading and learning.
What's an "attacking wing half"?

I think Coulibaly and Jack together will be perfect for the SPFL....... I might be wrong but I don't think Ejaria is.
Obviously, he needs to be given a chance but I doubt he'll end up with his 70% of gamtime forthe seaon.
I thought Arfield looked like he's well up for the challenge and will do a job though.
Although I disagree and that Ejaria will play quite often -- not as much as Arfield, as I think he'll be preferred --, it was mostly the positions that I was pleased with.
The two 8s are key in this formation. We've not had a proper 4-3-3 for a while.

I thought our 8s (Coulibaly and Ejaria) were terrific last night. Their positioning was excellent, they covered the wide areas, covered for each other, blocked off the centre and occupied the half-space going forward which provided passing options.
Ejaria is raw, and made several mistakes. Too often he wanted the flair pass -- although I don't think they were wrong, they were just perhaps unlikely to come off -- and can get caught in possession in deep areas. If he can cut out the latter, and be a little more conservative in the former, he'll be a very good player for us this season.
Coulibaly was a little complacent at times too, but he did the 'destroyer' role well.
There were perhaps better individual performances last night, but I'm mostly pleased with the 8s. They are key in the 4-3-3, and have been missing in the other times we played it last season. It's a unique position; they are not DMs and they are not #10s. I think they will be key going forward.

We should sign the Osijek Left-back, Barasic. And Henty. Good players.

I'm repeating myself, but I CAN'T GET OVER HIS PACE!

I liked Sadiq. He was a bit sluggish and clumsy -- perhaps that's just his gait -- but he holds the ball up very well, and has a superb burst of pace. There was a moment at around 75 minutes when he chests and lays off a lofted pass, is clattered to the floor with shirt ripped, jumps up and sprints into the box running past everyone else, nearly connecting with Middleton's cross from the left. His long legs allowed him to take in several balls I thought he'd lost. Nice vision too to play in Coulibaly at the end there.
It was 77:30. What a lay off, and what a run to get on the end of the cross.
Love it.

I f*ckin' love Shagger: collecting everything in the air, diving on the ball to waste time, taking an injury break for nothing. Brilliant.
