not enough games imo if he goes somewhere where he can play 40-50 a year he will develop much faster... look how much the hearts boys have developed in 2 seasons that would take 5 years in the aleague.

That depends if he plays most games, which is by no means a certainty. Hearts are scoring at almost 2 goals per game this season and their striker Shankland seems highly regarded by the fans.

Garang is posting photos from Edinburgh so Hearts looks likely. He is not going to push Shankland out but team Shankland with Garang instead of Ginelly and I think it could work well.

Hearts aren't going to challenge the top two this season but they are comfortable compared to the rest. There is no doubting Garang's attacking prowess, What he lacks is stamina and a consistent defensive effort. When he comes on with 30 minutes to go he puts in everything both in attack and defence. He needs to develop the stamina to make him a better player. The SPFL is not a technical league - but there are plenty of technical players. It is also quite physical and Garang will need to get used to that.

Having Kye, Devlin and Atkinson there should make it an easy transition and being a lot closer to Newcastle would allow the Newcastle management to keep a closer eye on him.

Next Roos squad should be Ryan, AMB and Bouzanis especially if in Europe. Otherwise Gauci is a good local for the camp.

Strains goal, pretty amazing free kick:
https://twitter.com/audailyfootball/status/1611853635528568833?s=20&t=KNk1nwdTGSAWm1WFz8gGPQ

Unfortunately he came off injured on 17 minutes however. 

Rowles had a rough one last night apparently. Struggled with the physicality of st Mirren main striker. 

St Mirren having a very good season and only a couple of points outside Europe places.

Doesn't seem like there is much bilokapic could have done about the goals apart from maybe the last one but that is just as much the defenders fault and Huddersfield defence is a shambles this year.

Yeah. He looked so poor when playing for the national team that hopefully this bout of confidence from his club can see him sharpen up. 

Also nice to see Chapman come straight in on the bench after a gameless League 2 loan. A loan to the 6th tier wouldn't hurt. AMB did it.

What blows my mind with this is... his old team mate Rico Lewis has slotted into city starting 11 like a glove... he is a very good player. Is Alex that far off Rico?

Josh Rawlins has missed the last two games after having started quite a few. Probably nothing too bad.

Ryan Teague's team has returned to playing and he got 76min vs Braga reserves. 

Stade Reims II resume so hopefully we'll see Dukuly and Toure back at it. 

Hosine Bility missed the most recent game. U23 of a Portuguese second division side. 

Tete Yengi has been training with Ipswich. The manager said there has been interest in England and abroad so they're plotting the next move for his development. I don't think they'd sell him on just yet. Hopefully a move for more first team football.
