Suspect Device Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Anything less than 3 points and a clean sheet is unacceptable. Edited July 26, 2022 by Suspect Device 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a good performance with plenty of taking the game to Celtic, and one or three points. I hope that's the plan. It looks like that wasn't so at the weekend with only 8 efforts on goal (6 on target) and 5 corners against Raith. (League) Cup half empty or half full? I'll keep my whinging and greeting for a few weeks yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(League) Cup half empty or half full? I'll keep my whinging and greeting for a few weeks yet.Raith sat in against us so it was tough to break them down. We maybe we’re a little lucky to go in 2 up at the break but we could easily have had 5 if Ramirez had his shooting boots on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I expect we'll be less adventurous against Celtic, but still very unconvinced by our defensive capabilities. Maybe they'll be rusty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I expect we'll be less adventurous against Celtic, but still very unconvinced by our defensive capabilities. Maybe they'll be rusty. Celtic generally get up for games against the likes of ourselves, Hearts or Hibs if any are actually showing a bit of form.The other times they seem to try that bit harder domestically are on the first or last games of the season when they have all that flag-waving stuff.Still if we go in with the attitude of a Cluj, Ferencvaros or Bodø Glimt and aren’t mentally beaten before kicking a ball, then who knows?Goodwin suggested at the Q&A tonight that we now have the attacking players to cause them problems and will be positive - we’ll see how that goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, despite all the worry and angst, no goals conceded yet. Anything less than a 7 or 8 goal scudding against them could nearly be considered a win, so let's take it from there. It could be a pre-season anxiety barometer, but I'm back in P&B only to find an advert for Andrex waiting for me.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Know nothing at all about Hayden Coulston, but his stats don’t make great reading. 6 games played on loan to Ipswich last season before being recalled by Middlesbrough due to lack of games, then loaned out for the second half of the season to Peterborough to play only another 5 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our treatment table brings all the boys to the yard. Quote Boro fan.... Decent signing. He's great going forward as a LWB or winger. He's had a couple of poor loans due to injury. Just needs a run of games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you mentioned it the other day, I was a little surprised because the level he showed with us was nowhere near the sorts of levels you'd need at the bottom of the table, let alone vying at the top of it. Nothing against the guy, but I'll be surprised if he plays anything more than a late sub/cover role for you lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he will be our left back.. sounds like he offers more going forward than what we got there . Wouldn’t be surprised see him start on Sunday .. Few Boro fans seem think he will be decent signing ..Time will tell . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a LB, and you'll see the quote from the Boro supporter that DickFingers posted highlights him going forward as his best asset. With us that was also the case. Wing back.. sure, left back? I doubt he'll be convincing. Now to be fair, I'm certainly not going to claim to be some voice of authority here, and this was him playing in a Stubbs team destroyed by the idiots "man management", piss poor understanding of the game and his very questionable signing policy, and he did so pretty much briefly (with less than a dozen games for us, iirc). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget boro fans likely think they’re about 10 levels of football above us. Do they think he’s good enough for boro? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously not ,aye I’m trusting few there local lads opinions , but he has a face that wouldn’t look out place walking down Logie Avenue with a roll up so I’ve good feeling he will be immense ..

Ric Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just now, logie skid boys said: Like I said time will tell. We can come back to this about October /November time Yeah, it's unfair to judge him on the limited spell he had with us, but going by the number of games he's managed to play over the years, not sure how many appearances you'll get out of him by Oct/Nov. In general he seemed a nice enough guy off the pitch, and considering the utter Stubbs shit-storm he was dropped into with us, he could well have gone public with criticism but didn't. I don't think I've heard him say anything negative about the experience despite it clearly being a negative experience, so fair play to him for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
