Some really good stuff today.

 

Some really bad stuff today.

 

I liked what I saw from both Tillman and Cantwell. It was a nice surprise to see Matondo actually contribute something useful.

I said after last week that Soutter and Davies should be moved on, after big gaffs v them it tells you everything about a player’s mentality and reliability in big games.

 

Today reinforces that thought. Ben Davies very shakey throughout and Soutter poor at the second goal.

To be fair to Souttar and Davies, that was their first two matches together (I think).  Usually takes a while for CBs to click.  

 

Cantwell was class today.

And I think Sakala is more of a goal threat & usually has a better end product than Kent.

 

Not really sayin much.

This image has becomes Ryan Kent in my mind's eye. 

 

 

I don't know why anyone would want him to stay given his end product.

 

217 total games 33 goals...that's a goal every 6.5 games...for an attacking player. 

29 league games this year...3 goals.

 

Good God he is so overrated. 

 

I pray that this team finally pull their head out of their ass about him.

 

Let him go!

 

He will be fine in the English Championship, or League One...doing that step over thing until he loses that trick with age in a couple years. 

 

Phew...needed to get that out for a while now. 

 

Thanks!

Sorry bud, but I don't care who else a player plays beside, a 15 yard back pass and beating a George Michael lookalike dwarf in the air for a header should be possible for all professional footballers who play centre back. Crazy as I may be.

[Gonzo79 14,141]

Nah, I get your point. I'm just trying to be nice (I think I've been possessed).

 I thought Souttar showed hints of the player we thought we were signing. Another few games and we might see considerably more. For such an uninspiring overall performance I felt Tillman was the only one player who fell far below what he's capable of but our real problem is quite simple, we don't have enough players capable of delivering the quality of play we need to win trophies on a regular basis.

 

Cantwell stood out again, as I suspect he will most weeks. He's the most influential signing of the last couple of years, head and shoulders above even Raskin.

Was happy with goals today,those we scored of course,but those lost criminal.Ended up nice day out in sunshine.

 

BTW seems we hadve a couple of new players according to earlier posts---Tamundo and McCorie hope they do well😈

[CammyF 7,121]

What I like about Soutar is he appears to be able to pass through the lines isn't scared to step forward with the ball. 

 

Cantwell was the best player on the pitch today and his run for the 5th goal was sublime and reminiscent of Davie Cooper in his prime.

 

Thought Tillman played well 2nd half, Raskin looks a decent purchase, Sakala is erratic but his pace and directness hurt defences.

 

Alfie scored 2 goals and his 2nd was brilliantly taken after Matondos clever cut back. 

 

Said earlier it was a weird game and hats off to MB and the subs as they made an impact and helped his win the game even if they did seem strange at the time.
