It'll be "horses for courses" which striker Gio goes with over the season.The guy is a #9, a penalty box striker who has scored a few now and will get plenty for us - the fact that anyone could be raging about us having a goal scoring striker shows that we have a strong squad.
Hope this thread gets bumped every week this season
I liked how GvB utilised the squad from the first game, definitely not afraid to change personnel from game to game, it doesn't always work, sometimes frustrating trait when it comes to subs but he has definitely proved the team in my opinion and I'm enjoying seeing how the team are now clicking.It'll be "horses for courses" which striker Gio goes with over the season.
From what I've seen so far, Gio knows how to mix n' match his squad to best suit the opposition!
The one thing I've noticed is that he doesn't tinker when it comes to making substitutions, he quite often makes 3 subs at the same time, entirely changing the whole dynamic of our play which must be a nightmare for the opposition manager to figure out what's going on!I liked how GvB utilised the squad from the first game, definitely not afraid to change personnel from game to game, it doesn't always work, sometimes frustrating trait when it comes to subs but he has definitely proved the team in my opinion and I'm enjoying seeing how the team are now clicking.
That's a good point, he might hold off on some occasions but he usually makes a few together - he's definitely proving to be a decent manager, would be interesting to see how we would play if Mick Beale was included in Gio's staff.The one thing I've noticed is that he doesn't tinker when it comes to making substitutions, he quite often makes 3 subs at the same time, entirely changing the whole dynamic of our play which must be a nightmare for the opposition manager to figure out what's going on!
It's quite obvious that our squad are well trained and versed in big changes like that during a game and respond accordingly.
Gio is proving to be an extremely astute manager and tactitian!
This for me - I thought his touch was quite poor up until his goal, but that was an assured finish. Can’t really argue with a goal a game return & he looks quite instinctive “between the sticks”.He’s not the best coming short or linking the play but he certainly knows where the goal is.
He is exactly what we’ve been missing and he’ll score a barrel load for us.
The way he controlled the ball and finished it today was outstanding.
What does woke mean nowadays?Woke nonsense!
The guy was murder, he needs to pull up his socks quickly.
The criticism from ex players like Hately, didnt help the situation. Tied in with the narrow view from some of our supporters.Colak
Spurs : Minimum chances 1 goal
Livingston : Minimum chances 1 Goal(wrongly disallowed)
Kilmarnock : Minimum chances 1 goal
USG: Couple half chances 1 Goal
Maybe folk will get off his back he’s doing exactly what we missed last year taking the half chances others couldn’t.
Can add "Doesnt know how to use the term Woke ITK" to his ever growing list.What does woke mean nowadays?
Are you a c^nt? No, must be woke. Just a word angry middle aged folk through about at anything they dont like.
We don’t need Beale. Dave Vos, Roy Malaya, and now Ceri Bowey is a top class coaching team. We’re only going to get better and better.That's a good point, he might hold off on some occasions but he usually makes a few together - he's definitely proving to be a decent manager, would be interesting to see how we would play if Mick Beale was included in Gio's staff.
Bloody hell...I didn't see those posts but before he kicked a ball for us I knew he was better than Itten.Those who said he was no better than Itten…
FUCKING REVEAL YOURSELVES!
Who?Roy Malaya,
If we went to a front two, Morelos and Colak would be the new McCoist and Hateley.
I'm sorry you don't seem to understand what I am saying.We don’t need Beale. Dave Vos, Roy Malaya, and now Ceri Bowey is a top class coaching team. We’re only going to get better and better.
@LiviLoyal only comes out with negatives. Won’t be seen now until something goes wrong then it will be full throttle negativity.
I’m sure they‘ve posted on this very thread.Those who said he was no better than Itten…
FUCKING REVEAL YOURSELVES!
Just read someone in the Balogun thread who, on Wednesday, posted that they would rather have Balogun than Davies despite having never seen Davies play because they're just not sure about him.The baffling thing is he looked more than capable in pre season. Was very good against West Ham and then scored versus Spurs. Like every player he was mince away to USG. Scored at home v Killie and last night.
We really need to give players time. We are the worst set of fans for judging players early.
I was slightly inebriated when I posted thatI’m sure they‘ve posted on this very thread.
Agreed.Big Hateley should remember he didn't exactly get off to a flying start. The rest is history of course. Give the new man some time.

I wonder if this is the sort of poster who would continually go on about resigning Weiss etc cause they'd 'been here before, could do a job and know what it's all about'
Decent finish from the big man. Still looked better when Morelos came on

Apologies…wasn’t having a goI'm sorry you don't seem to understand what I am saying

Totally understand mate, didn't think you were, just think you don't understand what I mean - I am just intrigued by the thought of how different our style might be with someone like Beale in there.Apolog
Apologies…wasn’t having a go
Incredible we have posters greeting he was offside.I actually think they wanted the goal disallowed just so they could give him pelters.The criticism from ex players like Hately, didnt help the situation. Tied in with the narrow view from some of our supporters.
He’s not taking any notice thankfully and he’s ignoring the negativity. I’m glad we signed him.
