I dont disagree with that. But Im not judging Luca on that basis. Im judging him on what I would expect from a young player in his situation. And that is to take your chance and show me something that tells me you believe you are good enough to play in this team. Unfortunately, despite numerous cameos, Luca hasnt been able to do that. Doesnt mean he wont/cant, but time is running out. Both Whyte and Booth have shown already this season that they believ they belong in this team. That might be a confidence thing, but unfortunately thats also part of being a footballer.

Said will be champing at the bit having had to cool his heels all week. Im sensing a big performance from Captain Chaos! 3-0 Motherwell! Said double and a first for Willy Vogt!

Tough one to call as both halves were so different. Longelo was very good second half and I thought Lowry showed some good touches. But went for Poulsen. He kept us in it first half and his distribution was much better. Starting to look the part!

I really want Luca Ross to be a success. He was really good against Elgin in the League Cup, but that was 2 years ago. He hasnt shown much in his cameos since. Whereas Mikey Booth has shown up pretty well in 2 competitive appearances so far. Luca may well have benefitted from a longer loan spell.

HJK are showing the game. https://hjktv.fi/hjk?fbclid=IwdGRzaATe8wtjbGNrBN7zBHBkb2YFZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEeITbeUUnNXll6zBUR-7jxknNwmBG9OuX2jPA_RyGzXVyhLzKWVRF3YLAQDcY_aem_6VyK2zL76RJRDIlYTQ8sWA&sfnsn=scwspwa

I did think it was quite noticeable over the course of the weekend how many soft fouls our referees were still giving. Its like the World Cup just never happened for them. Shame, once you got used to it, I quite enjoyed the fact that players werent being rewarded for "buying fouls".

I think Vogt will come good once his fitness gets to the required level. Its been a big step up for him, but there are certainly flashes that he is getting there. I love this part of the season when there is a promise of good things in our future. 😆😆😆

The manager said at the weekend that we werent in a position to rest or rotate players at the moment due to not having completed our summer business and having a few injuries to key players. He said that might change when we get a few more in or players come back from injury, but right now, he will pick the best team available and worry about the next game when it comes. With that in mind Id expect pretty much the same team that started v Hibs and similar substitutions as and when required.

Just shows what a ridiculous situation the SFA have got themselves into with those decisions last season......

I was suggesting that if the SFA consider Liam Gordons tackle on the half way line to be a DOGSO, then the chance of Hearts having Findlays red card overturned are slim to nil.

Its not a red card in the box if there is a genuine attempt to play the ball. Double jeopordy. For me Mulligan should have been yellow carded but wasnt. Yellow is probably correct for Oscar. Findlay? The contact inside the box is probably a yellow as he does try to get the ball, but there is the arm pull, which could tip it towards a red if considered enough to stop Olusanya. Also, Liam Gordon!

Id be happy with 1 CM & a striker. Although some cover for RCC would be nice. All depends on any outgoings though. If JT leaves then we need to replace him as I dont think Luca Ross is gonna cut it unfortunately.

My good friend AI confirms this is the case. They rested 4 star players in advance of our game. However, all 4 are currently now on the field.....

Playing on the Monday night before a big European game? Interesting. Given the scoreline, maybe they have rested some of their better players?

Think its fair to say that will be a step up then! 😍😍😍
