If we can swap Solanke for Sadiq, we'd improve our options dramatically. I'm not convinced Solanke is that great from what I've seen -- although, he is 'playing' at a level where you'd assume he would be fairly comfortable in our League -- but Sadiq is a waste of a jersey.

I watched it too. I think we see any Davis signing as one that would fulfil our #10 issue, but he was actually playing DM last night, as he does for Southampton; that's his position now, because he doesn't have the legs. Do we need another DM?

We disagree on the Colt teams point. I only really care about Rangers; this benefits us. It could benefit all teams anyway by bringing through better youngsters. When you think of the countries that produce the best players, Spain and Germany; both of these have B-teams in the senior leagues. It's weighted against them, but former Highland League teams (Elgin City, Inverness, Peterhead and Ross County) do pretty well compared to the rest of the League.

I didn't watch it, but apparently Grezda did well?

I think this sounds 'good', in principle. The Highland sides are wanting to move up, and are often better than the dross at the bottom anyway. And, it gets our Colt teams into the pyramid, which benefits us and benefits player development. There are too many teams, but we can't ask these sides to shut up shop. I still think the Premiership should be extended quite a bit too.

Dundee Utd?

I agree -- although maybe not as first-choice, but a very able replacement. You can see his experience. He jostled very well, almost always forcing them to pass backwards or wayward. He got on the end of a cross in the final third too.

FT Rangers 7-1 Motherwell. That'll do.

Ejaria weaving his way into a shooting opportunity, but blasts it over the bar. He's [Ejaria] strolled it, it must be said.

Atakayi has to come off, after taking a hard one a few minutes ago. 10 men a piece for the last 10 minutes.

Arfield and Grezda on a hat-trick.

I'm getting tired changing the score in the thread title... NOT!

Seven!! Well-worked short corner, taken short, whipped into the far post where Grezda nods it home! 7-1. Piece of p*sh.

Oooft! Ejaria with a pic-point passing shot from 25 yards, just tipped round the post.

Atakayi coming on for Middleton, who has had a superb game.

@Gaffer -- Did you change your GPL score? Did you not have us to score 6?

I think they keep heading for the box to get on the end of his crosses. To be fair, they've worked the space a few times. I'd like to see it more, though.

Grezda makes it six! He stands them up, cuts inside and he creates the space to strike it low and hard into the bottom near post. Nice finish. Grezda has had a very good half. I'm pleased for him.

When Middleton has the ball, he's dragging 2-3 players out because they can't deal with his pace; I'd like to see Someone take advantage of that space.

And... I missed the 5th, typing up the 4th... Arfield with the goal! 5-1. Nce play from Tav, cuts it across for Arfield, who composes himself and bends it into the far corner.

Nice goal from Middleton. Good play from Grezda and Arfield on the right, before cutting it across for Middleton to slot it home on the left -- first time shot aswell; nice finish. 4-1.

Grezda's been lively this half, after a poor first. He's quick, with good feet.

What a bunch of thugs.

The Ulster Gazelle coming on. Morelos goes off. Good decision; he had taken a sore one.
