No it doesn't.Reinforces my point does it not.

From the limited game time we’ve seen it’s clear his crossing ability is miles below Barisic’s which is an asset for us tbh.
I think he needs a proper run in the team before we can properly judge him. His height is a target for opposition though.
On the evidence so far, I think he looks an average player. Not poor but not great either and not looking like a player worth £3.5m from what little we’ve seen of him so far.
Totally agree.People that have never played football at any sort of level. It was Goldsons fault. End of. Yilmaz got in line and tucked in. He looks more aggressive than Borna. Lovely pass to Fashion second half shows the quality. Our fan base really need to learn to give players time, especially those that haven't played in 5 months.
Never saw the game but being out so long it's difficult to be over critical or fully assess.
He will need games but as others have pointed out what Beale really thinks (and he's not saying that in a press conference) will determine if he retains a spot when BB comes back.
I've said before I would not be shocked if he goes back to Turkey on loan next season
Yeah I do agree - writing him off is as absurd as blowing him up to be our next heroHaven't seen anyone say he's been good. Previous evidence would suggest he's good, but we've not really had a chance to see for ourselves. Most people understand it'll take more than 150 minutes or whatever he's had. It’s people saying "not for me" and writing him off who are being rightly criticised.
It's funny how I feel that andHorseshit.
Won pretty much everyone of his aerial duals today.
I think he will definitely be a good player but he needs to play in a side that consists of a back 3 aa I do believe he is small you could see when motherwell had tye ball they tried to get over him at every chanceHe’ll be a cracker, for me it obvious that he’s a good player.
I genuinely wonder if half the folk on here actually watch football at times.
Good idea.He’s not for me… i’ll leave it at that
His stats for Besiktas were quite impressive especially with his aerial duels.For a guy who was criticised for being to small he sure won pretty much every aerial duel he had I think. It’s his first start in 5 months and the first 10 mins showed that, couple of overhit passes and crosses. But he settled in and played alright, nothing special. He’ll play more next season as first choice left back imo.
Give him time to settle, jeezo.
Just back from a long injury spell. Playing his 3rd or 4th start? Quote me if I’m wrong
I’m sure there were people writing off Tillman after his first few games too.
If Goldson had his arse in gear it would have been a blatant offside. He looks forward more than Borna so that is a benefit. He was steady and will get better with more game time.Had a pretty quiet game, caught way out of position for the first goal but apart from that did ok.
Didn't think he had a bad game or an amazing game, but very different to the usual overlaps we get from Borna.
What did everyone else think?
Borna a more of a worry against the tims.I hope we don't start the lad in any the games v celtic. Would be a massive mistake
The good thing is that if you’re written off early doors by the FF lunatics, you’re almost 100% guaranteed to go on and be a great player.Give him time to settle, jeezo.

What, game time and patience?Inject him with whatever they pumped into Calvin Bassey.
Maybe we stop throwing a million crosses into an empty box every week then? No bad thing.You’d move Borna??
He’s the best crosser of a ball in the league
When he’s gone thats a big hole to fill and Yilmaz for me wont offer the same service or assists
IMO
No whatever turned big Bassey into one of the best young defenders in Europe .What, game time and patience?
Anyone remember how long it took Borna to settle ? Almost a full season
Not sure about him and wouldnt want to slate or give him praise he may not be due. I'm in the reserve judgement for now camp
Borna isnt spectacular, and isnt often abysmal. A steady Eddie if you will. But - his deliveries at times are nothing short of wizardry.Borna put in that performance he’d be slaughtered
Defensively, his stats tell us he is an upgrade on Borna. Like you say he aerial duals won is high in Turkey (They have tall players as well). He won all 4 of his headers yesterday. His crossing needs worked on but those that have watched him before said this before he signed.His stats for Besiktas were quite impressive especially with his aerial duels.
Like you said he will play more next season and that will be best time to judge him.
I’d say Barisic puts a lot of great balls in the box but we don’t have a striker that will attack a ball in the air with real aggressionAs good as Borna's crossing can be, it's also entirely predictable as well. Ball out wide, swing cross in. Repeat for 90 minutes
Having someone like Yilmaz who can help break the lines, play inside and make combination passes can only benefit us going forward
He sprints back and plays the guy offside perfectly but Goldson doesn't and somehow Yilmaz gets the blame and then Goldson doesn't cut out the cross either.Agree mate, he stepped up to hold very high line with the back 4, Goodson was the outlier sitting a few yards deeper for some reason!
Yilmaz was in the correct position.
Not everyone will agree but I want to see both our full backs phased out this season, we are already a season late with this, i think he is the man to take that LB slot.
Borna put in many like that in his first season never mind the length of time Yilmaz has been out.Borna put in that performance he’d be slaughtered
