The biggest thing watching this yesterday is the lack of physicality of our players , now some might be a lot younger , I think the boy Miller was the oldest at 20 and Robbie Ure is only 17 as is Lindsay , but they just looked bigger and stronger .

Lundstram has been excellent .

We have played very well tonight .

Another thing to remember is the changes coming up over the loan rules , a maximum of 8 about to be brought in , though it doesn’t count homegrown or U21s .Thats 8 out on loan and 8 in on loan .

Think it starts July 2022 .

Being linked with 19 years old James McAtee from Man City. Looks like we don't have any cash to spend. Loaning one wonderkid is fine but not sure relying on a few has worked well for us in the past. I still remember Ojo and Ejaria. I think we also loaned another youngster from Liverpool in Gerrard's first year? Either way we need to procced with caution.

Dont think it has anything to do with having money or not , its more likely that our targets simply arent available .Teams are always reluctant to sell in this window , unless desperate , this loan makes perfect sense .

If it is a permanent deal, one wonders what we are willing to accept.

I thought we only had him on loan and an option to buy , very weird indeed

Really good for Denmark. 

sorry but I would be outstanding in that Danish team and im done lol

I must be totally honest here , I see nothing in any of his youtube clips that show any reason for spending any serious money on this guy , he must have a Carlsberg agent or something , 3 games for us without beating an entire team from our own goialline and this guy will be branded a dud .

Kent has been amazing for us yet he is still given dogs abuse , I hope im wrong on this one .

There are players who we are interested in that simply wont be available at this moment ,either due to the club they are at having not secured a replacement or because they simply have too many players and need to move some on , the entire transfer market is quiet , everyone needs to calm down .

Belated Happy New Year guys and gals 

There is simply no justification for these draconian actions , no science , no increase in hospitilisations no increase in deaths , this is wholly about being different from Westminster , we live in dark dark times im afraid , and the increasinginglyaggressive tone towards those who have made the choice not to get vaxed or take the 3rd jag ( I for the recored am jagged but do not believe I have the right to tell someone else what to do with their body/health etc) is becoming increasingly worrying and aggressive in tone .

outstanding 3 points today

Three goals three points but some poor finishing, 

And some fantastic saves to be fair 

We will now get linked with numerous Dutch talents , just like at the start of the Gerrard era , when it was numerous Liverpool youth players , lazy journalism and click bait .

Always feel sorry for the managers getting dragged to these , they sit there wishing they could be anywhere else , and given that he’s just in the door I thought it would have been better use if his time to be on the training ground .

Also dont understand where the “£7.5 million required has already been met “ statement , has now developed into , its been covered by the investors , that wasn’t my hearing or understanding , but could be wrong , I was too busy keeping Brahim  Hemdani in check lolololol 

Only time will tell , lets wait and give the new management team a bit of time to implement their ideas .

What we need is to go on a run till the winter break that allows us some breathing space , hopefully some players will depart and be replaced by Gios choices .

You might get away with giving a team a 1 goal start , but 2 hmmmmm

This season has all the hallmarks of 1998 , a very decent squad playing below its level , managerial upheaval midway through the season , the inability to shake off a poor Celtic team .

This season is far far far too important to go down the project route , we need stability , a manager who plays or his football philosophy is the same as how we currently play , and a manager who would get the respect of the players .

Van Bronckhorst ticks all the boxes , plus , and this might cause a bit of discussion , I would argue he is a bigger name in European football than Gerrard , certainly more successful .Though that’s really neither here nor there .

We are simply not able to string to games together of any decent quality , it’s so so weird .

That is a thing of stunning beauty .

This ref is rank rotten , you can actually see him giving decisions before they are played out 

I believe Goldstons omission is due to him having Covid in his system from when he was positive a few weeks ago , he is clear to train and to play , the issue arises from him not being able to fly .

We really need to break out of this lethargy we are playing just now , we need to up the tempo when we play high tempo , no one can lay a glove on us , that we are getting dragged into these brutal dig fights is mental .

Given that Dundee never really threatened bar a couple of headers , we need and can do so much better , Thursday is going to be massive for us .

Game of 2 halves , first half we played some great stuff , 2nd we were poor , terrible ref performance coupled with equally poor linesman , however if we don’t kill teams off that’s what you get .
