Let’s not get on monga already no one plays well every game . He would normally be be in bed by now as well 

It’s not “getting on” him. You have to call it as you see it.

That 45mins was the worst we’ve seen from him so far.

 

That doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s a ridiculous talent for a 16 year old and it’s amazing that he’s forced his way into the side at that age. It might expose the fact that we shouldn’t be reliant on him every game and we really need Mav to step up when he’s fit again. 
 

Let see how it goes 2nd half

Im absolutely fine with him being subbed but to say we’re playing with 10 men is nonsense. 

What has he contributed tonight?? I cant think of one key moment other than the conversion at the end when clear on goal. Hasnt made a key pass or run and hasn't won a tackle all game. As i said you can't just carry a player because he's a young lad.

Apologies, not read previous comments, but I can only define and appreciate Ramsey's goal as some sort of 'reverse Daka'. Kudos.

In fairness to Skipp he covers a hell of a lot of grass, the boy runs himself into the ground, he’s just useless with the ball. Junior Lewis’ brain, but he has an engine on him.

Actually fairly happy with this half. Been well on top really.

I assume they are gonna try in 2nd half, but it was decent

 

We do have a massive advantage of teams coming and treating us like footballing royalty

Why was there 15 minutes injury time?

Understand the point, but he needs to have as much exposure to the pace and pressure of first team matches as we can give him, I would rather Marti has a word and see how he does for 15-20 minutes.

Is it just me that thinks Carranza is doing alright?

No more of an engine than Soumare and he's 5 yards off the player everytime

he's grafting fine but really not looking like a goal threat

Fingers crossed 🤞 he gets a goal 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

That Bursik was genuinely one of the worst keepers I'd ever clapped eyes on in his spell at Hibs, proper shite.

He's linking up play and keeping CBs occupied which is why James and Ramsey can run into acres. 

 

I don't think many strikers would look like a goal threat in this set up.

He’s willing and does a lot of running. First touch has let him down at times and the service to him hasn’t been the best.

 

Doing ok, but no better than that 

[don_danbury]

anyone got a strm thats not 7 minutes behind? pls thx

He and Monga have been the only weak performances imo, albeit Jakub has done nothing. 
 

Carranza, won 3/8 duels, 67% passing accuracy in final 3rd, 2 touches in the box and 2 fouls conceded… not great.

Probably not a big mistake as we can return to sender at the seasons end. Still time.

Big mistake because we need a striker for this season 

[Dahnsouff]

Good lad Marti.

It's called half time pal, injury time is the bit after the 45 where they are still playing

Accept your point too but i would rather him get that exposure when the team is 2 or 3 up and coasting than a game in which  we have a slender lead. Especially when we are specialists in turning a win into a draw. Lets hope he proves me wrong 2nd half.

I'm a sucker for stats as well but they only tell part of the story.
