But, with add ons he'll be our record sale.... Just needs to win 5 champions leagues with Rotherham, 173 caps for Bulgaria, win a world cup and be sold to real Madrid for £400m.

He’s my main source of hope at the minute, keeps us relatively competitive single-handedly. Theyre the best you can get for keeper figures tbh, but i do worry it helps show that Mitov will regress back towards the "average" over the next few months. We've relied quite heavily on him so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know what to think about that tbh, other than im not convinced a game against Livingston when youre struggling for form is the time or place to give a 16yo his first real game. He looks good but im unconvinced hes looked good enough to justify that. We've already seen this season how different competitive top flight games are to friendlies/training games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always been a believer of the if you’re good enough your old enough mantra. But this seems like a desperate play. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference being he's slotted into a stable side with a clear way of playing, whereas we're the polar opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Just bear in mind the player he’d likely be replacing is Cammy McPherson. As such I’m all for it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you're right in a broad sense but it's probably worth mentioning that there's a bit more context in so much as we were giving him minutes off the bench last season (when he was 16). He made his debut against ICT in the LC, he came off the bench at Ibrox, Parkhead and Almondvale and started in the last game of the season against United. Even this season, he got the LC games to give us a marker of where he was in terms of his levels - it's not really been a sink or swim situation of just chucking him in and seeing how he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is the manager under pressure to cut the wage bill but perhaps also to get academy 'product' into the shop window for future sale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm saying we should. Talking of wingers, where's this other new one disappeared to? Have we signed Jahmal Hector-Ingram again? Think you may be getting mixed up with Matty Kennedy. I certainly can't remember Wright playing as a striker. Having said that I wouldn't be averse to it, at least Drey has pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I don't think Wright played up front, technically. He was on the right wing but was allowed to push really high onto their LCB so ended up playing fairly central. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I hope I'm proven wrong but Franczak has done nothing other than not being Stevie May to justify his inclusion. He isn't ready. Especially for a game as important as today. Sure we have two senior proven strikers out, an overweight unfit haddy replacing a past it shite Stevie May is all we have to look forward to in games, but even with all that I still think it would be a shitebag move throwing him in from the start. Any update on Jeyisimi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
