Yawn.

Soumaila Magassouba -

I'm not sure what gives you the impression that there'll be more games this season that we don't score in than we get clean sheets on the balance of limited evidence so far? We've played 10 games including pre-season, 4 competitive* games and we've only failed to score in 1 of those games. We've only kept 4 clean sheets in 10 of those games. If you want to go about it purely in the competitive* games, we've yet to not score and we've only kept 1 clean sheet.

Good. Means he trusts Kangasniemi to play alongside either Aluko or someone else stylistically suited (i.e none of our actual current centre backs)

We'd struggle to blow a candle out if we play anything like we did in the first 2 league games

And we'll blow their house down.

This but the big Finnish fella in for Souttar

Perhaps not, but the vast majority of them were there when they won promotion to the PL and we're currently way below that. I feel like we often created chances to have chances if that makes sense? Then there was either the wrong decision or a blocked shot. I think it's the most fluent we've looked in the build up so far too (not difficult, admittedly.)

People have been whinging (quite rightly) and throwing round xG stats as a negative. Tonight against PL opposition, 2 tiers above us we've had more possession, a higher xG, more shots and more touches in the oppositions box.

Best we've played in months. Just a shame it's against a much better team in the cup and they've scored an absolute worldie to make the scoreline look much less competitive than the game was.

Why is Souttar so impossibly difficult to spell correctly?

On TV, weirdly enough. Sky Sports +.

He's comfortable on the ball and more than good enough for League One

We've actually weirdly probably been the better team!

Playing well here, been the better side. Look much better with semi comfortable players in the build up. Like the look of McFarlane and Page has been superb.

I'm not sure that we as fans can be sacked, Stavros.

No Faes, Choudhury, Mavididi, Skipp or Okoli in the squad. Erect.

Hopefully he's not watching the game tonight as he'd almost certainly change his mind about signing.

Challinor won't be back in management this season, taking a break for family reasons. Otherwise I'd agree with you on that.

There'll definitely be a stream for it tonight yes, it's on ArenaSport 1x2

Buy one get one free with Skipp and then get 2 better suited players in for that position

If we've been scouting Finland, as it would appear we have with the upcoming CB signing, then I'd be surprised if we don't have some form of interest in Pyry Mentu. The kind of players we should be picking up, progressing with and then flipping for big profits.

At least he can't play next week 😂 they'll probably reverse it just to pile the misery on further so that he's available

Hahahahaha this isn't great is it?

Nah, every pass needs to go forward quickly.
