I'm in england :)

Elder back on the bench after a long injury lay off

Rowles, Nieuwenhof, Atkinson & Baccus starting. 

Yeah will definitely be keeping an eye on him now. So Baccus could've been playing in the Championship next season, had he not rejected the move to Bolton!!

Hof with an assist. Already a good game for him before then, starting to find his feet in the spl

Volpato on against AC Milan. Been a while since we've had a player play against a big club like this in a top 5 league. He's really starting to consistently get minutes in the serie A. Looking good!

about half an hour per match

he wins a lot duels for his age. Most of our wonder youth start of losing most of their duels, but other parts of their game make up for it. As they mature they win more duels

Where’s Devlin? He used to get regular minutes, scored a crucial match winner for Hearts but has disappeared. Injured?

There were high hopes for our players in Scotland at one stage, but that seems to have dried up. I haven’t heard any transfer rumours for Baccus for a long time, Rowles seems to have settled in as an OK player for a non-OF team and Strain is also injured.

Pretty sure i read that Devlin is injured.

Yeah not everyone is Mooy/Jedinak unfortunately 

I'd like to see how Rowles would go amongst a bunch of very good players. I think his style is fine for Bundesliga or Serie A. He's really gotten plaudits the past 8 weeks or so from Hearts fans saying he's dusted himself off and gone another level.

While I enjoy our players going to the Championship the novelty has somewhat worn off that it'd be great to see Rowles on the continent and say Baccus or Gauci go to the Belgian league. 

Can't get too excited until he officially chooses to play for Australia. ATM it seems like he doesn't give a F & wanting to focus on his club to get his chance for Italy.

Interesting, that’s good to hear from Hearts fans.

Tete Yengi joins Livingston permanently. Good move if they don't get relegated...

Even if they do, it’s not a bad move because he should get plenty of minutes in the Scottish Championship.

No, what you shouldn't do is overreact until he makes a decision. Let him focus on his club. It's so important for players like Robertson, Circati and Volpato to focus on their club first and foremost. Nothing is given to you in Europe and consistency is the key and playing international football can hurt a players chances. I don't care if he doesn't play for Australia for another two years, if that means he is a top 5 league starter and we will reap the rewards in the future. Something 90% of Australian players have struggled to do in Europe in the past 15 years. Should be a big focus. There's also a lot of evidence that says he will play for Australia but anyways similar to Circati in September 2021 turning down the NZ friendlies; it's not the right time. 

Also, support him!

Yeah I'll support him unless he declares and watch every game of his.
Even if he declares for Italy no hard feelings and proud our development system was good enough to produce him (even if his journey also highlighted our short comings)

In the end he is a kid and its a game

The other thing is you get affirmative action as a local. Most of our youngsters in the a league would get much less game time in another league of a similar level. The average Italian in the seri a is weaker than the average foreigner. If he holds a starting sport for half a season then he has the experience at this level to standout

Robertson starting. Looks like everyone else has been released early. Iredale out injured for Bolton. Would love to see both Bolton & Portsmouth win automatic promotion 

Thought iredale was in the Asian cup squad

Or have I got the wrong iredale? Haha

Robertson with an assist

Ipswich in a real form slump. 0 all against the struggling Stoke with half an hour left and haven't won in 5 games

Hope they snap out of this

He does not get mentioned often, but Jon Brady is doing an awesome job with Northampton. Survival would of been their goal this year, but they have an outside shot at play-offs. Would be great to see him move to a bigger club at the end of the season.

John Iredale, the German based striker was called up.

Jack Iredale, is a left back at Bolton. 

Boro fan verdict on the bororoos 

Glover hasn't really convinced me at all tbh. He's made some decent saves in the games he's played but he's poor on crosses, his handling is suspect and his decision making when coming off his line or not isn't good at all. He seems to have good reflexes and distribution so hopefully he will improve. 

Do we really want them to get promoted now that Mass has retired from the Roos? If they go up it'll be a lot harder for Burgess to keep his starting spot etc, as they'll probably bring in new players in all positions. If they stay in the Championship he's pretty much guaranteed 90 mins most games 

Elder returned playing the 2nd half in a 3-2 loss

Well the whole point is to see our aussies succeed I'm sure Cammy will be wrapped to play a part in promotion if he doesn't get picked in epl he'll still have a great career and could go to another club around the world that's the beauty of football or how I see it anyways 

Nieuwenhof started & played 89 mins.
Tete Yengi made his debut for Livingston & played 28 mins. 

Forgotten about ‘Aussie Abroad’ player Lyndon Dykes has had a quiet time lately in ECL with 22 games but only 3 goals, 0 assists. Many thought he was the 1 that got away for Socceroos but doesn’t seem that way lately
