I, and probably nobody else, saw how poor he was coming.

At least the guys we have work for the team. Yes they lack cutting edge quality but they also massively lack confidence.

Today is the day though. One will go in off a backside and confidence will surge through. My initial 3-1 victory prediction was too pessimistic. Reckon 5-0 us today.
Shankland was never bullied like these two powderpuff so called strikers we have. He still wouldn't work in this team due to our lack of creating chances but come on, Mcnulty and Clark are absolutely shocking and id be happy to never see either of them start a game for us ever again. Shankland id welcome back with open arms.
