Sutton_blows_goats

We 100% do.

Top trolling from the BBC. But its ok, we need them and they apologised so we now need to put up with this. (sarcasm)

Hopefully not a sign of things to come domestically. I don't say that from a 'they are out to get us' perspective. I say that from a 'they are inept and utterly incompetent at everything they do' line of thought.

Really puzzled at the line-up and formation, and then the managers insistence that he stick to something that's not working for 70 mins. Not sure the 3 at the back against a defensive side with a front 2 is such a good idea when the 3 at the back worked best for us v Leipzig and Dortmund who had front 3 and came at us. McLaughlin - Should have done better with the 1st goal. Tav - Not in the game enough, but not sure of the link up with Matondo ahead of him blocking his running path Barisic - Kinda had enough of this type of performance from him now to know its coming. Poor for the first goal didn't offer enough going forward. Goldson - unlucky for the penalty. Sands - got lost a bit for the first goal, got that booking late in the first half but did well to avoid conflict and fouling after. Lundstram - have no idea how our best midfielder was playing right side of a back 3 for so long. Was a waste. Jack - miles off it, game passed him by, misplaced passes and in poor positions often. lack of minutes in pre season a factor? Kamara - can do a job as a #10 but like the back 3 i think works best against attacking sides. Couldn't find space or team mates. Matonto - very one dimensional as you would expect, wants the ball ahead of him. Not like Kent who can take the ball in back to goal and get turned. Tillman - out best performer of the first half, held the ball up well and found space. Good ball in for Colak which he should have done better. Colak - second game now he had no impact. Got no service other than ball from Tillman. Is this due to teammates or is his movement not good enough. Was very isolated so hard to be critical. Yilmaz and Davies looked ok. Davies unlucky like Goldson for his part in the 'penalty'. Wright came off the bench and had some desire and ideas about him. Referee and VAR officials both got penalty decision wrong. How can this be? the point of VAR officials is to keep referee in the right?

Scott Wright made 2 more incisive runs than anyone else. So why not. Should have started tbh.

Back 3 against a front 2 and defensive outfit bad idea. Back 3 worked best for us against teams that attacked us last season with front 3

Dreadful performance. Too many not interested tonight. Coaching staff included.

Very puzzling lineup and lack of changes to remedy performance

I heard he was planning to invest pre covid but it had impacted his business so he held off.

Tough draw but should have won the league for automatic entry. Home leg first too Got to beat Union first.

If this is any indication of how he is going to play for them it looks like Ross Wilson taking the 6 million + 20% sell on rather than the flat 10 million is a work of a pure genius.

Took some points from us and came across as a bad loser at other times. Glad to see the back of him.

Yep made some good signings this summer but have an unproven coach.

2-2 Tav fgs

Tillman for me. changed the game for us

Colaks goal being ruled out was an absolute disgrace. Glad we managed to dig out the win despite that, shows real character.

Katic has been told to find another club.

My understanding is - Home Grown(at club 16-21): McGregor, McCrorie. King and Lowry will likely be registered on a 'B List' due to age. Trained in Nation (Scotland 16-21): Soutter(Dundee U/Hearts), Wright(Aberdeen), Arfield(Falkirk), Jack(Aberdeen).

That's a bit odd because he didn't play much at Hibs IIRC

If lots of people nominate a player to do well as a surprise performer, is he really a surprise performer?

I reckon Wright will play ahead of Matondo. Its a long season ahead and that park 🤮 We will probably see Matondo in midweek v the Belgians. Other than that the lineup is spot on. Although we might see McGregor in goal.

Player of the Year - James Tavernier Young Player of the Year - Ridvan Yilmaz (if he counts, if not i'll say Tillman) Top Goalscorer - Morelos Most Assists - Kent Best performer of new signings - Tom Lawrence Surprise performer - bit of a leftfield choice but Glen Kamara to have a spectacular return to form.

Spot on.

I think in typical American fashion they are looking for more capital to increase investment in the product. I don't think we have got the best TV deal we could have got. We don't have the best sponsorship deal we could have got. I have no confidence in the abilities of Doncaster & co. We have a track record of appointing people who have leanings towards the dark side who seem to make multiple bad decisions. I'm not crying conspiracy but cronyism is real and you can evidence it with the likes of Regan, Doncaster and Mitchell.
