Was the same for Zungu and Bacuna to be honest.Two matches in, some cunts need to give their head a wobble, embarrassing.

So, you don’t agree with the so called “model”?A baffling signing in all honesty.
Indeed.2 fucking games 2 games
No, absolutely no.It took Barisic, Aribo and many others a season at least to get up to speed. This lad's had two games. Give him a break.
Going by some of the comments in this thread so do I.There are times I really question the idea that everybody is entitled to an opinion and that the game is all about opinions.
I haven't read the full post, but has anyone written him off as a dud?This is madness even by FF standards written off as a dud after two games where he actually didn’t do much wrong at all.you think people would learn after Borna but no they rush headlong into writing players off.
Nobody has said “dud” but, yip, poor signing, baffling signing, not up to it.I haven't read the full post, but has anyone written him off as a dud?
Better with David sands
The world would be a weird place if everyone was the same ehIndeed.
You can say the same about young Lowry, yet he's made a huge impression.
I've stated previously that it's far too early to make a definitive judgement on the boy.
What I'm saying is that he's been anonymous against Aberdeen and Livingston.
I don't think that point can be disputed.

Odd signing imo. Another holding midfielder.
We had one cleared off the line, three balls across the face of the goal and there keeper had to make a couple of saves. Battered maybe isn't the right word but 2 or 3 nil wouldn't have flattered us.I don’t know what game you were watching but we didn’t batter livi last night. They were comfortable the whole night, their keeper barely made a save.
We had tonnes of pointless possession passing around the back but that was about it
Lowry's position means he will have more to do on nights like last night. Comparing apples and oranges.Indeed.

Because he’s much worse than Sands, slower in mind and body and has cost us much more than he’s contributed.No idea how Lundstram can’t get a game.
I got pelters for questioning his contribution against the Sheep.
I saw nothing to change my opinion tonight!!
He was anonymous and the game was passing him by.
It's also easier to be destructive than it is to be constructive though.Lowry's position means he will have more to do on nights like last night. Comparing apples and oranges.
I don't think Sands has made a negative impression though. I'm not just comparing them because of nationality but I think he might be another Edu in that you don't notice him much throughout a match but is a solid player.It's also easier to be destructive than it is to be constructive though.
One has made a positive impression in his two games and one hasn't.....and apples and oranges are both fruit!
I don’t agree here at all, other than to imply Sands is poor is just silly.Because he’s much worse than Sands, slower in mind and body and has cost us much more than he’s contributed.
Good job Gio knows more about football and has Sands ahead of him, writing was on the cards when he whipped him off at half time as well.I don’t agree here at all, other than to imply Sands is poor is just silly.
What I would say is that I know who I’d be starting against the filth.
They play different roles though.It's also easier to be destructive than it is to be constructive though.

I hope he's not another Edu!!I don't think Sands has made a negative impression though. I'm not just comparing them because of nationality but I think he might be another Edu in that you don't notice him much throughout a match but is a solid player.
On you're last point..touche.
They do play different roles of course and it's easier to spoil than to create.They play different roles though.
One is to spoil, one is to create.
Maybe once we see what Sands is doing, off the ball, we’ll appreciate his contribution more.
What I did notice last night was how often Sands was just in front of the central defence making sure play had to go outside them.
That was just on the TV though.
This was being said about Kamara before people saw him play consistently and get used to the team around him.Seemed incapable of making a forward pass. Still too early to write him off but not a great start.
Hardly like for likeGive him time to settle, remember Mark Hateleys first season
It’s not one or the other. A good young player became available on an 18 month loan - “nah, canny take him mate, we need a right winger” don’t get the logic. The club are working on deals for forward players - that’s not being hampered by bringing in a 21 year old on loan.I found this a truly baffling signing. Given the fact we have been screaming out for a Right Winger and an actual attacking midfielder but we get a Utility player that's best position is defensive midfielder where we literally have ton of good options already
No, but the reaction is…Hardly like for like
This is spot on and the criticism probably shows a lack of appreciation for the role he’s being asked to do.Feels like we’ve seen this a lot in the past with the defensive midfield role. It’s easy to stand out if you’re playing it badly, it’s harder to stand out if you’re doing it as expected. I can’t think of any position that has been more roundly criticised.
It doesn’t feel long ago that the likes of Kevin Thomson, Mo Edu and Hemdani were being criticised for “not doing enough”.
The boy hasn’t had enough time here to be properly judged, and hasn’t done anything wrong to deserve being written off.
If others had done their job better tonight, this thread wouldn’t have been a consideration.
I’d counter this by suggesting that, if I’m correct, the more anonymous he is, the more effective he’s being.They do play different roles of course and it's easier to spoil than to create.
I'm in no way writing Sands off at this stage, just venturing an opinion that, for me, he's been anonymous in his two appearances so far.

No fucking about in that postAbsolutely embarrassing thread mate.
Trying to judge a defensive midfielder against a deep lying defensive team?
Sands game is about breaking up play, protecting our central defenders and recycling possession.
The strangest thing was Gio going with both him Kamara, against a team that would defend deep and in numbers.
You've made a bit of an arse of yourself, by posting judgement on a player, after his 2nd appearance for us.
Difficult to take anything you say seriously now.
Edu was important in winning Championships. I'll take that again.I hope he's not another Edu!!

Wasting your time mate. Just posted in the other thread, but the criticism leveled at Sands is laughable.
Thing is Hateley was keeping our all time top goal scorer on the bench as wellNo, but the reaction is…
That's how it is at Ibrox, you'd better get used to it.The world would be a weird place if everyone was the same eh
You can compare this one and that one all you want but to even remotely question the signing after 2 games is baffling to say the least
Not that I can remember.I’d counter this by suggesting that, if I’m correct, the more anonymous he is, the more effective he’s being.
Gerrard’s team were quite effective, very effective, in making the opposition turn back when in possession.
GvB has carried this on for the best part.
We don’t concede a lot of chances.
Did Livingston, or Aberdeen, have many real 100% chances?
That’s pretty grudging of you!Not that I can remember.
Could be down to the standard of opposition as well.
