I hear what you're saying BUT I've always had an issue with this kind of view. I doubt Rogic or Turnbull would have influenced the game more than Hatate and indeed they may find they no longer fit into the manager's strongest 11
Jeremie Frimpong? Always looked to me like a right winger playing at full back so subsequently he seemed to be surprisingly good attacking but surprisingly weak when defending...was astonished when he went to Germany for a huge fee but another entry in the 'what the hell do I know' ledger
I noticed that a few of the teams knocked out in last nights CL qualifiers go straight into the EL groups e.g. FC Midtjylland, Genk, Sparta Prague, Spartak Moscow. Is that because their national co-efficient is higher than ours?
I've been to both home league games. A 1-1 draw and a 1-0 defeat. I'm not a glory hunter and I like the fact that the LL is keenly contested. I also don't really go in for managers being heroes OR disasters. In both games we had chances but didn't really dominate the way we might have been expected to. The Betfred cup games suggested we were competitive and should be able to challenge for the title but that's already looking a tall order.
In the LL years we've had better looking squads and more successful teams and one constant has been that the guys in charge demand success so if you're not delivering then you probably wont last too long.
Others will possibly have much stronger feelings and will likely give you a more satisfying answer (especially if you harbour bad feeling towards Stevie Aitken).
Really enjoyable match tonight against Caledonia Braves. Full time 1-1, second half was end to end and it could have gone either way. It felt good to be back
