AW saint Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Looking forward to our cup game. St Mirren to race into a 2 goal lead before Motherwell score 2 in the second half. Penalties to decide it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 1 hour ago, Swami said: It’s absolutely mental to me that Lennon Miller is just an automatic first choice in our midfield now, and doesn’t look even slightly out of place, at 16 years old. Aye, it's bonkers. I said similar after the Dundee game. He's just a naturally superb footballer. Have to give credit to Slattery & Spittal alongside him who do a fair amount of graft. Miller, should he steer clear of injury, will go on to have a very good career at a very high level. Also, as others have pointed out, it's very good to see all the new strikers off the mark for the season by mid-August. Takes a fair bit of pressure away. Don't want to pile too much pressure on Mika after only 40 minutes or so but I'd say he's odds-on to win a Ballon D'Or by the end of the decade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceiling Granny Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Missed the game today, but having just seen the Sportscene highlights Biereth looks quality, Stevenson didn’t know what to do with him at the run up to the first goal. For the first season in years it looks like work commitments will keep me away from 75% of games and it looks like I’m going to be missing a season where there’s a wee buzz about players (Miller for one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Pretty dire first half, much more enjoyable 2nd half. Mika was indeed dynamite when he came on and brought the game to life. Looked 2nd favourite for both balls in behind and yet somehow created 2 goals from nothing. Fair play to Wilkinson as well, timed his run to the near post and it was a lovely finish into the far corner with his weaker foot. Defence was solid again and Kelly was largely untroubled. Souare looked a bit sharper again this week and despite the pre-match fears, kept Boyle quiet. Speaking of fitter, Slattery looks like a different player from last season and 6 games without a booking must be a record for him. And as others have said, incredible that Miller is strolling about at this level at only 16- another ball over the top leading to a goal again this week. It’s early days and there’s lots we could obviously improve on, however we lost a lot of key players from last season so are clearly still a bit of a work in progress. So it’s encouraging to see us still being competitive and picking up points a long the way as Kettlewell shapes his new side.

'WellDel Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Slattery literally looks like a new man, both physically and in his application, great showing today. Midfield looks to have a nice balance and excited to see what Zdravkovski has to offer once he's up to speed. Biereth already looks like being a coup, and our front men off the mark early doors for a wee confidence boost. Butcher back fit along with one or two departures and a couple of shrewd additions before the window closes and I can see it being a decent season ahead.

Archie McSquackle Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I was hoping Biereth was going to be an upgrade on our attacking options because, let's face it, we desperately need something. I wasn't expecting that sort of performance though. On the strength of that showing we could really have something special on our hands. Now, do Arsenal have any other talented youngsters they want to pass our way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 So what is our favoured attacking pair? A couple of more games with Mika ‘impacting’ off the bench then the position is his? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Don’t say this often. But I think the referee was excellent today. Don’t know who he is. But I did not think he got much wrong today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows we should be offering them Lennon Miller on loan with a view to signing him next summer for, say, £5 million. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 That's my first game this season as I've been away. I'd just be echoing what others have said so far, but no-one has mentioned Souare who I thought was really good today? I wasn't sure what to expect given some fairly lukewarm comments from previous games but I thought he was composed and passed it about well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always maintained that players who have never played up here before need at least 3/4 games to get used to the difference in style. Fans giving Wilkinson and Souare pelters in the cup games can now surely see that although they'll never be world beaters they're getting better the more games they get under their belts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Don’t want to tempt fate. But I did discuss the impact that Kettlewell has had since he joined with friends today. I mean 2 losses in 20+ games is fanciful stuff for anyone outside the Old Firm and even including them. The wheels will most likely come off at some point but if they don’t then how long before another club come sniffing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
