Best game so far 👍 really impressed kept that side his own
Good to hear. I couldn't get down today but listened to the website commentary and from that he sounded to have stepped up a lot and to be more confident and sure of what he was doing.
Bacuna also seemed to have a good game - was that the judegement from those who could see as well as hear?
yes
Ran his socks off today and was knackered for the last 20 mins. Have no idea why Warnock didn't take him off and bring on NML.
TBH I've been a critic of Whyte until today - he was really impressive, Bacuna showed some pace and skill I didn't know he hadQuote:

Why not all 3?Quote:

Who was yours?Quote:

Hoilett came on and created more in one half than he did in two. Encouraging signs though, he's getting better every gameQuote:

I thought Hoilett had a better game than him and Hoilett only played 45 minutes.
What does it say about the more defensive players in midfield and fullbacks that Whyte is still needed to track back so i) frequently and ii) effectively? 8 games in and he's improving game on game.Quote:

Yes I would say they were both very energetic, put in a lot of work ,Whyte is very quick just needs work on his final pass .Quote:

Flynn did well in my view.
It was a hot day as well .
Paterson is getting there still looks weighty though.
Pack and Bamba back in that team will make a huge difference
There's plenty wrong with the set up, imo wingers shouldn't be tracking all the way back into our own half, a few times today we had no out ball down the flanks because were deep (mainly the first half).Quote:

Flynn ?Quote:
