a don in oz

Did I read right that one of Thelin's assistants is a recently-ish retired former Swedish international winger? Wonder if that means he'll have an eye for raw material. ie: if any of our players actually have what it takes in that role, and whether Hoilett is worth trying to keep at his age. Certainly, as others are saying now that he's got match fitness he's looking like a good player and while he's 33 (right?) he's not relying on pace to beat players so maybe he has it for at least another year maybe two. Without having a clue what Thelin will bring to the table, trying to get Hoilett for a one-year deal would seem reasonable. More than that would be a gamble. Whatever happens, he's doing a turn for us now and that's nice to see.

Penalty stands but why does that take so goddamn long? Unreal.

They're looking to chop it off for offside.

VAR can't overrule that surely. That's a clear penalty from the two of them.

We are all over them this half.

Wow. That was bloody unlucky! So close to getting the goal there.

Fucking hell Devlin. That was a mental ball to Barron. No chance he could get that.

Gartenmann really has reverted back to the good looking player he was when he first came. That was a great bit of defensive movement from him and clearing ball off the line-ish.

That through ball from McDonald was brilliant.

Oh Jesus. Nightmare commentary team on RedTV...

Right. No Leven? Well that's not a great omen but hey ho. Let's see how things go.

Pretty much exactly my feeling about him. 👍

I'd love to say I think we will wallop them but I can see us struggling because that's this season. Don't think we'll lose but think it'll be closer than it should be in terms of the score.

Did you want him staying? If not, he's going, be happy. If you wanted him to stay then good for you but no one was rushing to buy him under contract so we wouldn't have got any wedge. Take your pick.

Yep I agree. He'll be given more time on the ball and think he'll do well in that situation. If he goes there, good luck to him.
