    I think it’s been pretty even to be honest, I think we are unlucky to be behind currently.

    I’ve said a few times, and when we signed him, I went up to Celtic v Inter when he was there and he was outstanding in that match.

    Run of games and some confidence and he could come good he’s comfortable on the ball and he’s got a bit of a gallop on him.

    I think he’s been alright he’s breaking up play well. I wouldn’t change anything just yet.

    No where near as poor as Moyes and Sam had us believe.

    He’s just bossed Assombalonga there, give the lad a run. I think the setup of the team looks far better here, they have 2 towering CBs we are going to have to play through them and the balance looks better.

    We’ve not been troubled bar a soft goal.

    Aye but that’s scapegoating mate. He’s a prick, he’s been a poor buy but he’s having a solid game.

    You don’t take him off just cos you don’t like him, he’s done us a favour crocking Jones anyway.

    He's just not putting a shift in mate. No mobility from him what so ever. He's only just turned 30 too. How moyes and and Grayson didn't have him running on a treadmill round the clock I don't know, sweating that booze out of him and get him used to actually moving <laugh>

    That "foul" on Ndong is identical to 3 they've been given in almost every way. Not sure any were fouls but surely if one is then all are

    Aye his fitness is shocking, absolutely shocking.

    McManaman on at the hour I’d say I wouldn’t change anything just yet.

    It's not scapegoating At all. You think he is doing well. I disagree because he hasnt done nothing for me.

    You know, those 50/50s Gibson keeps losing wouldn't even be 50/50s if he moved a bit more, he's positioning and reading puts him in a position to get there first, but the lazy **** won't move.

    Aye I agree. His reading of the game is superb but he’s starting with a 2 yard handicap.
