Don't know how anyone cannot be enthused about a 6-1 victory. You sometimes need a win to kick start a season. hopefully this will be it. We were all worried before the game so whats not to like now? Midfield is still not clicking but we are 70% there. Lindsay, Wiles, Crooks, Hastie and Olosunde are all young and will improve as the season goes on. Bolton will also get better and I think their fans were excellent. Freddie and Carlton Morris up front for me and Smith to go in January if he keeps looking disinterested. Proctor to return maybe. MOM Wiles from Lindsay and Ihiekwe.
Hastie would still be at Rangers had they not paid Liverpool £7,000,000 to sign Kent. That's the only reason we were allowed to take him on loan. I agree though, what a player he is. We can but dream about signing him. He will end up at the likes of Leeds if it goes to a bidding war.
One good point about today was that we didn’t play a strict 4-3-3 or 4-4-2.
Both Wiles and Hastie seemed to have been instructed to play more advanced roles and it gave us a bit more flexibility.
Our next game will give us a better clue as to how the team is settling down.
McGeady scored today for Sunderland and he’s played against us before when he was at Preston, we will keep him quiet, besides we have some decent players of our own to cause them problems. I’m looking for a point.
Stadium of Light is the only ground I haven’t been to in League 1, watching the Millers.
Why be surprised, wasn’t he voted Young player of the Year when on loan for your lot.
6-1 today should give us confidence for Tuesday night. That’s confidence not over confident.
