A good performance tonight I thought from the bhoys. what I took from the game:
We look fit and sharp for the time of year!
Brown,bitton,johansen and Mackay-Stevens are the 1st names on the team sheet for Wednesday!
We closed down well when we didn't have possession
Cifti done well I thought when he came on could be a good addition!

The downside. I thought our distribution from the back was terrible,boyata was slack at times,fisher when he came on gave the ball away too many times or put it in the stand!
I think we look vulnerable at the back still as emilio is still making the same mistakes getting caught under the ball!
Still not convinced we have enough firepower up front to see us through to group stages!

What's your thoughts ed007.

{Ed007's Note - Pre-season matches are about getting fitness and sharpness up to scratch but it's always nice to win games. I thought GMS looked really sharp tonight though and he could play a big part in our Euro campaign. I'm hoping the defence will look a bit more comfortable with VvD in there partnering Boyata.}

Thought the team looked good tonight, slow start but we gradually took control. Thought our no 7 looked good last night for the short space of time he was on the pitch.

Keep in mind Boyata has hardly played over the last couple of years and was always going to be rusty to start. Hopefully we can build his confidence up so that when he does get fully up to scratch (match fitness wise) he also has the confidence which once made him a target for a club like Man City

3 goals in 3 games ed thaw good going! Maybe signing GMS an Armstrong in January was a master stroke!

We knew Denayer was going a while ago (and VVD may follow?)- Mathews leaving was a surprise, so we have left ourselves very short of quality and experience in defence.
Boyata may come good, but we could be out of Europe by then? The club should have brought in a couple of solid defenders, that were reliable and fit as soon as possible.

Ed, any truth that Celtic are after Tom Boyd as cover for left back?

It doesn't bother me if we bring in all free transfers or pay a couple of hundred thousand as long as they are good for us. Gone are the days of spending 5/6 million on one player . We have to except that but we should expect to receive quality players if we're going to have any hope in qualifying for the CL and I only dearly hope that RD is having the last say in who is coming in

{Ed007's Note - But according to Pedro those days aren't over, Tony, he says we could afford £6-8 million on a player. You're not implying our CEO lied to us are you?}
