no. when we have over the last year we have been solid.

I am worried Ikon's season is shaping up to be very similar to last year. He seems to have impressed but still seems like he will be about 4th choice winger. The big hope is early on and I would go as far to say if he doesn't get some decent time before the international break (only 2 games) he will only see decent time in an injury crisis. The reason is say this is they have not bought a replacement for Candreva, Anderson is off at the Olympics and Keita Balde is possibly injured (source) leaving only Kishna and Ikon as true wingers. The other good news is Simone Inzaghi is their current manager. For those who don't know/remember he was Ikons youth team manager at Lazio where he had his best season and was captain and apparently the reason Ikon didn't go on loan apparently was at the "express request of Inzaghi'.

Why I think his season hinges on these first two weeks. Firstly it is strongly rumoured they are looking for a direct replacement for Candreva and by the end of the International break Anderson will be back. This will push Ikon from 3rd choice winger (assuming Keita is fit atm) to 5th which is very similar to last season when he made no appearances. That along with Lazio having no Europa league (less fixture congestion) I only see Ikon getting 10 minute sub spells if he is lucky.

Lastly even if Keita is injured doesn't mean Ikon and Kishna are the only players that can play wide. Lulic has much of his career out wide, Dordevic played  as a support striker/winger last season and a formation change could make it so wingers aren't needed (they have mainly played 433 in pre-season though).

On the GasAug 13On the Gas ‏@OnTheGas1999Mizunuma and Burns on the bench and Shinoda calls on Hirayama and Hanyu for his last two subs. Good grief. Lets forget this ever hapoened.This was from post game last week when Tokyo crashed 4-1. J-Squads just out for tonights game and Neymar Burns not in squad. I think there might be something in the WSW rumour. Anyone got WSW news?

Bloody hell I hope he comes to the a-league, needs to get out of that place. but please not wsw

Think of the strikers in the a-league: burns, taggart, maclaren, berisha, fornaroli, keogh, nordstrand, cahill, Incredible season coming up. 

maybe some quality defenders will finally develop

More starts for Rogic :)

Rogic looks good. This other team would get relegated from most NPL leagues though. 

St Johnstone are a small wee club despite Perth being quite big in Scottish terms. Every season I just hope them and Kilmarnock go down and we get someone with an actual fanbase like Falkirk or Greenock Morton to come up..

Could chuck a few other clubs in that bracket too, Accies, Ross County 

At least they have derbies against Motherwell and Inverness respectively that are worth watching. St Johnstone are just a nothing team that nobody ever cares about.
