That's what is concerning me slightly with Sheehan at the moment. He was always likely to swap Idah for Vip yesterday around the hour mark. The fact that Vipi was having another good game didn't enter into the decision. Almost as if it was planned. Likewise when he hooked Eom. Midfield was...

With Williams I never got the sense, even once, that he was getting the best out of what he had available to him. Sheehan certainly did that last season, even if he's struggling to repeat the trick so far this year. Sheehan also doesn't babble on in Martinesque during most interviews, so...

I suspect deep down he probably does, but his entire persona, his entire managerial status is tied into it so admitting as much will fuck his reputation up even more. He can get sacked by Rangers and still plead the case that the players let him down, just as he did here, just as he did at...

A piano mover, not a piano player. Alongside more creative options he could do a decent ball winning job, just as Fulton does. We asked more than he's capable of providing today.

The fact that they've flown up the leagues quite quickly has probably acted against them to a degree. They've had to rebuild the team for the last two seasons at least. Maybe not for their year in L2 because a lot of that squad was already good enough for that level, but certainly last season...

For me the greatest manager of all time is Carlo Ancelotti and that's basically his whole thing.

I'd be surprised if a club in League One went anywhere near him after this. Certainly you'd expect any team in the Championship to steer clear for fear of significant supporter revolt in the event of his appointment as manager. Six months at Rangers could have effectively ended his career as a...

Borderline PTSD just watching that.

Based on what we've seen so far I'm not sure that there are any "better" sides in the division. Early days of course and the relegated teams might suddenly remember how much more expensive their squads are, but we certainly shouldn't fear anyone yet.

Consistency is always the key in this division. Any team capable of putting together a couple of decent unbeaten runs will fancy themselves for a playoff spot, and in a season where the relegated sides haven't started well perhaps even more. I'm fairly convinced that we've got a squad good...

Yay. Another convert.

If Fulton had been available for the physical battle that the Hull game became then maybe we'd have held on for the win. There are games and times when having him around will be handy. As much as I don't rate him, some will probably say the same for Cullen too. Key blows hot and cold. He can...

Nah. Like it or not, Six into three won't go and we can't force it to a bit by making our standout midfielder so far play in another position. It's one deep lying midfielder (Stamenic, Franco or Yalcouye), one box to box (Galbraith, also maybe Franco and Yalcouye) and an AM. We don't have a...

Both much of a muchness for me. The bigger question is which central midfielder do we sacrifice to make room for a creative one.

Superb again today. Finding it hard to put a foot wrong at the moment. Chuffed for him.

Probably not helped by what appears to be his natural attacking midfield position being ignored in the way we want to play.

A lot of it is probably a reaction to the kind of hagiographic adulation that he was held in by his supporters during his time here and how they would brook no dissent on the topic. What a "top bloke" and "nice guy" he was, when it seemed pretty obvious from early on that he was an arrogant...

According to Ally McCoist...

We've played six league games so it's obviously far too early to come to any kind of definitive opinion on how good a job Dimi has done. It's probably easier to play down who he is if you weren't around at the time he was "contributing" to these forums. Speaking as someone who was, I don't...
