Fashion causing them lots of problems. Has really come into the game.

[Rousseau 9,361]

Seconds away from full points in the GPL...

[Malangsob 1,196]

Good game.

 

Fashion looked good, Colak played his role very well...Lundstram bossed it...really pleased with team.

Great result, some cracking goals and good performance by all accounts. Can't wait to see highlights.

 

On to Wednesday now 😁 

[der Berliner 3,240]

Colak is a really really good all round striker. Works tirelessly, hunts for the ball, scores tremendous goals ... what a find. As Gordon said time and again, we should pair him with Alfredo every now and then and see how it works. Not least in games where we defo did not need a second DM who was more or less trying to attack all afternoon. Could easily have been replaced by Tillman, Wright or indeed Morelos.

 

As I said before, Ridvan likes to attack and we saw that today. You wonder how it would work in a 3-4-3 or him ahead of Borna in difficult games. 

 

Sakala, if given the ball, shows that he is a striker. Very direct and always willing to shoot (and able to hit the target). If played as a winger, only Wright is close to Sakala`s trickery and accurate shooting, IMHO. Matondo (played out of position) was every inch a winger today and sure has not yet settled to the Scottish game, while Kent works a lot, but his end product ...

 

Alas, three points, two super goals and hopefully at least one point on Wednesday.

Very good goals at the end , however we are still playing very slow at times , but at the end of the day 3 good points and kept chipping away at the goal difference 👍

Great game, four goals and great subs. It's never too late to join the positive club. WATP

That second goal from Colek wasn't something I expected from him, what a steal of a signing he has been.

His best stuff was on the left in Belgium.  He was played where he should be playing today.  

 

Good result today.  Sakala definitely isn't the finished article but he often makes an impact when he plays.  Colak is a damn good striker.
