Yep for 79 mins it was like a bowling green and then a state come full time. (Only joking Nathan), on a serious note I hope he gets a great reception on Saturday if he features. Dont want a repeat of Saturday

nope wrong grizzly it was all McGINLEYS fault 🤣

Closest I could find…

The big difference is that Kyogo and Maeda are better players. My point is, Tierney isn't too lightweight. There's other lightweight players in the league who do just fine. If we're saying he's not good enough, then that's a different discussion. But this idea that Tierney being lightweight is what is holding him back just isn't true. I'm just not all that impressed by who we've brought in, and who we've lost. I also wasn't impressed when he said the following about Danzaki: “Riku, technically, you can understand why he was brought to the club for a particular style of play. That has substantially changed, in terms of formation. Riku would probably indicate he is a number 10. I have not played with a number 10 at times. “I see it a completely different way, so that would probably let you acknowledge why it could be difficult for him at times to get in. ” I'm not necessarily saying Danzaki should have been kept, but the noises from Kettlewell about how he doesn't really accommodate a number 10 type of player is alarming in my opinion. Maybe that's because I grew up watching football where that type of player was considered a real asset to have. Someone who can change a game with a pass or a run. I don't see us having that approach now, and while we did get results the second half of last season, I still wonder how much of that was down to Van Veen and how much was down to Kettlewell. I guess we'll see this season, because I don't see us having anyone close to Van Veen's abilities this season.

To all these people saying Tierney wasnt given a chance. He had over 300 days in training to convince 3 managers that he should be in the first team.

Presumably Tierney's new employers don't see him as lightweight, despite League Two having more than it's fair share of bruisers.

If we are set to announce a "marquee" signing then it would be awesome if it was Tent Alexander-Arnold!!. Ah'll get me coat

I'll re-frame what I meant about Tierney, His strength was he'd be able to chip in with his goals. Other aspects of his game aren't good enough.

Spittal and SOD probably get blamed for that also!! 😜😜

From where I was sitting in the POD Stand, it looked to be in exellent condition.

Yep I found it bonkers we had fans booing McGinley, guy been out injured for a year. Now don't get me wrong I don't rate the guy but I would never boo him or any other player. This seems to be creeping in more and more with some supporters and really needs to be stopped.

Thats the thing once labelled as shite, there is no going back for some, anything positive like good performances, goals & assists are categorically ignored. Any mis-placed pass, is pounced on - then the boo boys can tell us they told us from the start and how clever they were to spot it before anyone else

Everybody's shite according to you.

I think one thing that's guaranteed this season is that Spittal and SOD will be the whipping boys again which I find bizarre. Spittal's assists and goals record is very good, yes he makes mistakes but who doesn't?. Also I thought SOD done fine yesterday apart from some bizarre wayward passes. Had a vital clearance 2nd half which seemed to go unnoticed.

Hi ya Smiddy aye I think you’ve name awe the usual suspects as for Wilkinson has he started yet cause I’ve no seen him Don’t worry mate I’ll be here all season look forward tae yer patter.

That's what I like about Kettlewell. He obviously isn't as brutal in this language as the fans but it clearly obvious he's seeing the same things we are.
