    Really isn’t comfortable at right back is he? Wonder if it’s a confidence thing after his injury? Looks shot to bits at times

    100% lost his confidence, i remember watching him a couple yrs a go and he looked unreal thats why i was totally buzzing when we signed him

    He looks a shadow of that player at the minute, however, it is only preseason so not writing him off at all but at the minute id be really concerned if Hume was to a miss a few games

    Be more than comfortable with him starting a lot of games this season.

    Same with Hjelde, hopefully Johnson gets a good loan.

    People get bent out of shape with these games (Benno is on comms for instance) but the reality is that this team will simply never take to the pitch for safc. The test is how many of these players could be dropped into our best XI and hold their own. Even just on bits and bobs from tonight there’s a good 6 names who I wouldn’t wince to see on a team sheet.

    Im hoping johnson gets a move up north so i can get out to watch him a few times. If bainbridge joins killie ill go n watch them a few times.

    Hjelde is a player I've been big on for a while so im really hoping he hits the potential that i think he has

    Mundle was unreal when i watched him for spurs u21, he was better than clarke when i watched them bith at that level. Lets hope he makes the same impact as clarke

    Yeah it's funny to see. As you say, this 11 will more than likely never start a competitive game for SAFC together, it's about how individuals will fit into the starting 11. For instance, it's about seeing if Mundle could replace Clarke.

    I’ve not seen anywhere near enough of him to judge him as a player, he’s looked canny at times in a back 5, couple of rumours he wants away so he may have just not settled, never seems happy in the clips the club release similar to lihadji

    Big fan of his, his underlying data is superb, but I agree. Has no real sense of calm on the ball, everything seems rushed.

    Mundle has just ran about 40 yards and skinned half the team. To be clipped on the edge of the box.

    Best player on the pitch so far.

    Absolutely. Incidentally I’m more than happy with Moore thus far. He’s not good with ball at feet but he’s a very good shot stopper.

    Been terrible. Needs to be dominating games like this. Embo has looked better than him so far.

    Embo should have taken that free kick too. AA should blasted it over the bar.

    He is very similar to Clark with that slow and go style. But likes to come inside more. I think the club know he is the replacement when Clarke leaves.

    Rusyn looks **** so far. Needs to sort it or he will be cast aside anarl
