Certainly looking like it’s going to be a decent fight between him & Hayes for assists at least this season. 

Hayes does a power of running and actually played in 4 different positions today but his final passes are horrendous.

Not always horrendous though clearly & arguably could also say some are not always up to speed with him on occasion.

He lost us possession a good few time in a couple of games so far this season but as you say, he’s been covering a lot of different positions. 
 

Happy to have him & Vinny running about like wee madmen all over the place confusing & tiring the opposition defensively both mentally & physically.

Thought Besuijen had his best game for us today. 

I've been sceptical in the past but he was a constant threat whether behind the striker or out wide. 

Seems to have cut out the diving too.

Cracker of a shot just before the pen.

I'm liking the wee man, always wants the ball.

Agreed. He was electric today, really impressive. 

[fine-n-dandy]

Seems the only way the opposition can get the ball off him when he’s running with it is to take him out.

[TheRedPrawcess]

If I was to be very critical I'd like to see him with more goal involvements. 4 goals today and no involvement from him. Great shot before the penalty win though and unlucky not to have scored a peach there.

I'll be honest my opinion on this is entirely selfish as he's in my Scottish fantasy league team. Pull the finger oot Vinnie.

He's awesome!!

You don’t think he was involved in the 2nd goal? 

[alscotoz]

Great first half today. Buzzing everywhere and caused havoc for st Mirren defence

I'm maybe using the term incorrectly but I'm talking actual goals and assists as goal involvements not just being a part of the build up. He's playing very well and is very much involved in the good passages of play and build up though. Like I say I'm being very critical and selfish

Cutting out the diving has helped. Good game yesterday and definitely had a big hand (as did Gallagher) in the first goal. 

[Millertime]

I really like him, just wish he had an actual burst of pace

Really let's him down as he can't get away from players

Like against Carter Vickers last week, prime example

So what you're saying is, even if he spent the whole game drawing their defence apart, retaining possession, putting in tackles, tracking back to help the defence, finding space, keeping the ball, putting in good passes to forwards, the fact he didn't get points in a made-up game in The Sun newspaper that only counts goal and assist stats has upset you?

We now (obviously early yet) have multiple options that can be our player of season. Bet it will be a hard choice. 
Where as last season it was just anyone that could just not be really shit in more than 2 games in a row.

Aye calm down you fan belt.

First of all, The Sun. Wise up.

I didn't say I was upset. Far from it. It was obviously tongue in cheek and I did say I was being very critical whilst praising him in other areas. Besuijen is probably my favourite player within the current squad.

I've been very positive about the team this season and that statement is probably the most (and just about only) critical thing I've posted so to jump on that and call me a "21st Century Football fan" as a dig is mental.

I also don't think it's unreasonable for us to expect a player of his ability, playing in that role, having had as good a game as he did to have been directly involved in 1 of our 4 goals. But again, for clarity it was obviously tongue in cheek. Read it again.

[Mr John]

Relax Princess, I'm joking. ?

[Dal Riata Don]

Is Vinny gay? I'm asking for my (little) friend (obviously).

Does he try take his man on? Seems to just stop when his marker comes near him.

He is an absolute enigma

He is really small and no real pace to get away from anyone

Great technique though 

This is the problem with our data driven approach

He will show up as a 13-15 out of 20 for technique, passing, vision etc

But 6-11 for pace, acceleration, decisions etc

I wonder if our version of the software only let's you look at 3 attributes

We're waiting for Darren Mowbray to play all the leagues in Football Manager. 

He's done Hungary,  Portugal Division 2 and the English National League so far.

Vinny driving about eating sticky toffee pudding has to be one of the strangest RedTV videos ever made.

The title of the email promoting it was so cringe, I couldn't bring myself to watch it. Was it any worse than the bus driver challenge with Marley Watkins, Joe Lewis and co?

I never watched the final bus driver thing because it was so bad. The sticky toffee pudding one involved Besoujin driving to 4 different places to eat a spoonfull of sticky toffee pudding whilst talking about sticky toffee pudding with the new RedTV guy, sharing a dessert, 2 spoons, all a bit odd. He gave them all ratings out of 10 as he went along, then they filmed another bit the next day where he revealed the winner, even though he'd already told us. Not sure what the point in it all was. Vinny is quite a likeable character and I suppose it's probably something to do with the partnerships we have with these businesses, but was a bit cringeworthy.

I'd rather they started to show highlights of the youth team games or something than this kind of nonsense.
