Some man Scotty Arfield. Absolutely brilliant.
Everyone having a moan about the performance, it’s an experimental team. An 18 year old leading the line, Jack at CB another two 18 year olds on. I was hoping for some more goals but good to get some out there.
Time will tell.I agree. Sometimes you can tell who's been at the glue before posting
Davis was head and shoulders above everyone. Everything went through him.His touch and set up for Arfield done it for me tbh, that touch was unreal. No one really got pass marks tonight honestly bar Arfield so harsh to single one out, especially his first game.
I didn't think Ure played too wellImpressed by McCann, Devine and Ure.
Lovelace, Nsio and Stevens looked good in the limited time they were on the pitch.
Maybe its cos he is ginger?!?! Who knows lolThere is something unglamorous about him but he does the basics really well and seems incredibly composed. Almost something old school about him.
I agree that he is does not look as dynamic as Patterson and Bassey. But he kept picking out dangerous passes inside to the strikers feet. I have a good feeling about him.
Are you deliberately talking absolute shite?Our squad is wafer thin that was fuckin brutal
that was informative which was what Gio wanted, glad it was not a walk over, and the youngsters had to work for it, it's the best way to improve.
some folks going a bit OTT with the criticism, remember this is a youth team ffs
also, seen enough of Ridvan to think he can defo play, look forward to him when he gets up to speed
Onslow wants him soldHe was brilliant tonight, gliding around everywhere. Outshone Veerman and Sangare last Wednesday too.
Here's an idea...give him time before writing him off.Time will tell.
I agree but his work rate stood out o me. A lot of tracking backI didn't think Ure played too well
It was and Davis was the biggest culprit for slowing the game down,I've always been a Davies fan but age has caught up with him,also I think we played 4 of those short corners and got no where,not a fan of them at all.To be fair if Arfield had passed 2 simple chances into the net, Matondo's night would have looked alot better.
I don't think there were any real nightmare performances on the park, but the Jack/ Kamara/ Davis/ Arfield combination doesn't scream flair going forward. The ball just seemed constantly being passed, controlled, stopped, passed, controlled, stopped, etc. thirty yards from their goal
And no doubt you're a genius lolEeeh my god, this match thread reeks. A lot of our so called fan base on here are clueless
Conversation?!?It's a comfortable but at times disjointed performance - as anyone would expect given the team.
Good signs again from King, there's no need to buy a CH as some have been suggesting in the transfer thread.
If Burnley really are interested in Sakala for 3m, it's a conversation I'd be having.
Care to expand why? Or just cause?Time will tell.
I thought you could say the same of Yilmaz as well tbf. Borna wont be too concerned thats for sure. Again a tough game to judge too seriously on.Job done I guess. Yilmaz was the main positive for me.
Didn’t think any of the young home grown lads who started really seized the opportunity.
I just said he doesn’t do it for me.Here's an idea...give him time before writing him off.
What utter nonsenseOur squad is wafer thin that was fuckin brutal
Couple of cunts outing themselves the night with mental takes and just posting pish.It was like the first preseason friendly of a new season, players not played together for a while and everyone just doing their own shit.
The important thing for me is we saw some young players in a match that mattered, unlike the hearts game last season, and they won 3-1 with some nice goals. This isnt even our second string team.
'Criminal he got an extention to his deal'...Some man Scotty Arfield. Absolutely brilliant.
Does anyone believe that? . If there was an offer Gio would have chased hilmIt's a comfortable but at times disjointed performance - as anyone would expect given the team.
Good signs again from King, there's no need to buy a CH as some have been suggesting in the transfer thread.
If Burnley really are interested in Sakala for 3m, it's a conversation I'd be having.
I meant more people writing off players X, Y and Z in August when we've made 10 changes to the team.I don't think it's hysteria to say we were absolutely awful tonight,I think it's fair comment.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt it was sarcasm!Now approaching peak match thread.
After his 1st 90mins?...okI just said he doesn’t do it for me.
I thought you could say the same of Yilmaz as well tbf. Borna wont be too concerned thats for sure. Again a tough game to judge too seriously on.
But only one we paid a fortune forAre you drunk there were at least 6 of our players worse than him tonight.
Is this our new Sasa Papac?I just said he doesn’t do it for me.
Would you play him in a European game or against the reptiles?After his 1st 90mins?...ok
Bit tongue in cheek mate but there was a 5 minute period at 2-1 where it actually looked like we had a game on our hands, ending in the one Devine hit it over our bar and it could’ve went anywhere. It should never have gotten to that stage against QOTS. If that had went in we it would’ve gotten very nervy.Comments like this are why I rarely visit match threads.
Second touch was a tackle , needs lots of work on his technique and touch.I didn't think Ure played too well
At the same age Bassey was at Leicester. Watch many of their U-21 games do you?I think he looks miles short of whats required thus far, when you compare to even Patterson or Bassey at the same age
Most of them will be wondering what the fook is "Points of View"...Cupid Stunts...What did the Match thread Zoomers do before the internet? Were they writing in to Points of View?
"Dear the BBC, I'd like to express my immense displeasure at your new Moira Stuart for her mis-pronounciation of the word "pessimist" during a recent news bulletin. I appreciate she has properly pronounced a plethora of words prior to this unprofessional show, but feel she should be removed immediately from the show. She just won't cut it"
This place is a lunatic asylum. There is some mad shit in this match thread but this is the final straw if madness.It was and Davis was the biggest culprit for slowing the game down,I've always been a Davies fan but age has caught up with him,also I think we played 4 of those short corners and got no where,not a fan of them at all.
He should have that already. Hopefully it was a one off.Second touch was a tackle , needs lots of work on his technique and touch.
Would you play Ure?Would you play him in a European game or against the reptiles?
He had a good first half. Service dried up after the 10 minute mark:-( and he tired in the second half. Could probably have been subbed 15 mins earlier before he started to look ragged and it would have left a better impression.I didn't think Ure played too well
