To be fair he’s not coming out in public and criticising him openly. Its what he’s noticed and does when it comes to selecting his first competitive match eleven that counts. Somehow I fear the shoe horning (Edward’s to RB) will continue

He’s vocal on the pitch, seems we have to ignore the fact he’s shite cos he’s got a big gob on him !

This fkin dickhead of a captain cannot start the first league match ffs. A complete walking disaster.

He can only be playing becuase Downes and more importantly Dibling are back at home surely?

Really hoping Downs makes the same kind of immediate impact Quarshie has at the back.......otherwise its not looking great, there's so little cohesion up front, it should be showing better signs of coming together by now.

I agree with you except I dont think I would put Armstrong on a par with the other two. As shown last time out if played in the correct position - not through the middle - he will score goals in the Championship.

Its all about finding the combo of this lot that clicks the best then !

I realise that most of the decent business will be done in the last couple of weeks after the big boys have made their moves (or not) for Ramsdale, THB, Dibling and Fernandes etc but I really did expect us to get a few more of the squad type players moved in and out by now. I'm surprised Aribo and Bednarek are still here, I'm dissapointed that Fraser and BBD are still here.

Rangers started the game well in terms of keeping the ball and looking composed. But they didn't really create or fashion anything in those first eight minutes. In the last five minutes Panathinaikos have had a good few looks at Rangers' goal and look far more of a threat.

You’re letting the word quality do a lot of heavy lifting. He didn’t set Sheffield Utd alight last season during his loan spell

I'm gonna say Fraser will go but we'll see.

It's gonna be an interesting squad more so for the absentees. Having said that are Fernandes, Edwards and Downs ready to join up wth that squad yet ?

To make them run 9km then play a match the next day is showing he wants Strachan type levels of fitness. I like that, so far impressed by him.

I'm seeing Smallbone as a good player in the Scottish Premier League, change of shirt colour, familiar manager etc

I bloody knew it would be him. Keep it up Jack, it’s earned you a three year contract after all 😡

According to the OS report Saints were caught in possession in their own penalty area for the first goal of the game……….cant wait to see who that was !

Did you get the same size you’d normally get from the Saints store or do they need bigger/smaller size selected?

pretty sure we did but that was a blessing in disguise

I wish my shirt from 1997 still fitted 😒

Lets hope fun for the fans means rejoicing at saying goodbye to some of the shite and hello to decent pedigree replacements.

In all seriousness if nobody buys Bednarek, THB stays and then on top of that you add Quarshie, Edwards and Wood what the fuck did they give a 3 year contract to Stephens for? Even with 3 (certainly 2) central defenders ahead of him its crazy, if we still had 5 its beyond ridiculous !

Yeah, if we are gonna get rid of any we dont want that aren't that good it will all happen very late on in the window

So if THB stays and with Quashie signed and Edwards coming back from loan is it too much to hope that Stephens will be 4th choice ?

It’s 100 times better than that shirt from a few years back

You can hear it now, "we have two great keepers in McCarthy & Bazunu who will push each other all season. We will use the money to strengthen in other areas"
