That would be good numbers for an attacking mid even these days. Excellent record. 

Makes Tav's numbers look even more extraordinary. I believe we were one Goldson error in Seville away from Tav getting a statue and greatest ever consideration. As long as Tav doesnt become manager and fail to win the league every season of course!

I hear his brother passed away last week too, sadly.

Aye, quite a tough time for him.  Last thing he needs is us getting on his back.  

 

It's okay to criticise a player, if done in a reasonable manner.  Unfortunately, we have a fair percentage who just can't help but take it to extremes.

Absolutely.

 

I often wonder (I was merely a lowly amateur level! So have no idea) if any players have ever actually started playing better because fans in the stands were howling at them.

 

I very much doubt it.

I was told this last week.

 

Given the nature of his Brother's ailment, I suspect the family will be relieved his constant suffering has ceased? Still, brave decision by the player to play both friendlies and the season opener.

[Devil's advocaat 1,276]

Yes and no. I lost a sister at a similar age, to a long illness, whilst it's good in a way to no longer see your loved one suffer, the loss is still the same.

 

Relief didn't really enter my head tbh.

Very good piece on Tillman vs Livingston. I think he looks like exactly the kind of player we need. Hopefully get another look at him

tonight, looks a big coup for the club if the reported £5m fee is correct.

Aye, he looks a player.
