Was really impressed with Porteous and Hendry's calmness playing it out. Thought Hickey was in with a shout for MOTM, was outstanding as well. His outside of the foot pass up the line in the second half was phenomenal. Would say that team was close to our best starting 11 IMO. Likes of McKenna and Hanley will/should struggle to get in the starting 11. Hickey has been fantastic, the odd lapse in concentration needless booking and one wild high backpass but otherwise he's confident, fast and does all aspects of his game well. I fancy he'll move to a bigger side soon, he's stepped ahead of Patterson who's been unlucky with injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I think we've got to re-asses Gilmour's season in light of what was going on in his personal life. It seems like the whole stalking thing had a big effect on him. Really looks like a weight's been lifted off his shoulders since that's been resolved. From now on, the only folk hiding in his garden will be Zidane and Xavi. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Gilmour's had a few games for Scotland where even when he's been really good in possession and rightly had plaudits for that, there've been question marks defensively around his positional sense and physical presence. No such issues last night, if anything his defensive work was even better than he was on the ball. I haven't watched him at club level at all recently but if he's properly developing that side of his game now then it's a very encouraging sign, it could be the the final piece he needs in his game to properly establish himself as a starter at a high level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowly beginning to see some De Zerbi in his game maybe. Nothing but upside there for us tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Feels like Porteous | Hendry | Tierney have really played themselves into the first choice back three. I suspect other players will have to wait for injuries and suspensions to get back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, Hendry and KT first choices with Souttar, Cooper, McKenna and Hanley backups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNameIsClarence Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 If everyone were fit for the back three I'd be choosing Hendry and Porteous as more technical players primarily for the rcb slot, Hanley and McKenna as more meat and potatoes (not that I think they're big huddies but maybe less comfy taking it out) for the middle spot, and Tierney on his own for lcb as there's no one else who's shown he can do that specific job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted for Billy yet again, excellent, confident performance. Can't believe how ill-judged my prediction that Billy Gilmour would be playing for Rangers in the English Championship was.

Still, I feel an appropriate forfeit would to be stop spouting your dire predictions on this sub forum. This forum would be better without the usual suspects constantly attacking our players. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) He had a good game yesterday, gives us good control in the middle of the pitch and it was a good game for him to come into. The team has lots of good midfield options depending on how what we need from the game. Gilmour, McGregor, McGinn, McTominay, Armstrong, Christie as well as Jack, McLean and Ferguson have all got minutes playing different midfield roles in the four games of this campaign so far.
