Really positive to see all 4 Aussie Hearts starting the season as First XI players. 

Fans had a lot of positive to say about Atkinson. Rated MOTM by many. 

Nieuwenhof had a mixed debut. Fans noted his movement into space, passing etc but apparently a bit anonymous and struggled with the pace as you'd expect. He'll grow into the league but will probs take him a month or two before he is really playing to his level. 

O'Neill got pillord of the Standard forums despite the positive reactions from the first game. 2 losses from 2 and a bad game and he is getting the normal Australian player treatment of being viewed as not good enough. I'm sure he'll come good.

Unfortunately, Australian players and managers will forever carry this "identity-burden" on their shoulders whenever they play in Europe.

Disappointing no Gilsenan for Blackburn nor Marlee Francois for Bristol after both getting good senior minutes in preseason. 
I hope both gets loans, both need senior football ASAP. 
Sad to read that Marlee Francois did get a jersey number, which suggests he is on outer. 
Also concerning to have heard nothing about Tyrese Francois and Caleb Watts. T Francois needs a move, Watts out of contract.

  Boyle goals from midweek.

Yengi goal at death. 1:29. Surely a pen for a grab on Yengi there? This EFL ref is actually a good one.

Nice to see Bilokapic out there. Good saves

Plenty of football mid week coming up with League Cup. Anticipate starts for Glover and Silvera. I think Elder and Dougall will face off. I don't think Triantis will start today but he should play against Crewe.

Souttar bench. Odd 3 other centre backs are playing but I can't seem to identify who would be left back. More so a wing back. Probably looking at Mavididi to cover lots of ground on the left flank. I suppose this increases Souttar's chances if 3 centre back needs to play. Cup game at Burton midweek.

Hindsight is 20/20 but Wolves & Bournemouth were both chasing him as well before he signed with Leicester & they both stayed up. Obviously no guarantees that he would be starting for them in the Prem, but to come back to the Championship & not be starting, when Stoke just won 4-0 yesterday. It must be a massive kick in the guts.

Most apps have Faes at RB then Vestergaard Doyle Ricardo. Ricardo is a right back anyway. It's definitely so kind if hybrid mobile defensive group plan.

It's a long season ahead but it can't be so that there's isn't a club out there screaming for a good centre back. It's a fact it's all about the right click with the manager's plans and this one doesn't seem to be the case.

Seeing Souttar in this situation makes him appear to be someone who can barely play the game well. It's totally irrational to think that. The rise and fall can happen so quickly. There's an anchor on his ankle now compared to the November May period where he really flourished and was confident.

souttar is probably in the top half of epl cbs

in the end it shows it isn't just about quality but about luck

we have more abroad now, so hopefully we develop enough depth that we can handle some bad luck. It's also a long season with 46 games. You would think he would get some time

Tricky on Twitter to see which Souttar is being written about. John played for Rangers yesterday.

Anyway, Coventry lead. Vestergaard not seen as favourable. I'm sure the coach looked at his CV and gave him the nod. Good player in the last but he's almost an unfit invalid these days.

faes and vestergaard getting hammered on the leicester forum. That doesn't mean souttar will play mind you. Sometimes coaches double down. We all remember Holger's antics

3 centre backs fail to pick up a Coventry centre back ghosting behind the goalkeeper and can run and head from the corner. To be fair Faes let the scorer run but as he was watching another at the far post. Zero communication there.

Long ball just not sees Vestergaard at sea. Coventry are good. Souttar will near definitely start against Burton. I just hope it's not that cup banana peel the coach can use. Coady might return too and needs practice. With Faes still likely to leave, I think Coady and Souttar are the centre back pairing to go for promotion. Doyle has done well as a LB today.

Yeah they're running backwards and without cohesion. Carbon copy of last season really. So where's the mobile and good passing trait this coach so desperately wants? He's not getting it from a wantaway sideshow bob or someone with the fitness of a park footballer. 

Maresca will probably just loan in more City youth or bring in Italians.

Susnjar started in a 3-1 loss with Degenek to play tonight.

Aarhus are playing right now with Herrington not in the squad.

Deni Juric also didn’t make the squad for Dinamo Zagreb, he needs a move desperately.

So is Baccus & Boyle. Super pissed off that Miller isn't Hibs starting RB to start the season. From all accounts he had a good pre season & whenever he started last season he did well, especially at the end of the season.

Ngl, I don’t really rate Miller highly at all. Far too reliant on his physical attributes and not really great with the ball at his feet. You can tell he’s a CB converted into a right back.

Even league one teams are now more often than not having having games with 700+ aggregate passes. English football is changing very quickly and i wouldnt be surprised if they start doing well at international football in five years or so and becoming a powerhouse again

Red for Sunderland right back. I've not been following but O'Nein is at centre back and I thought was much more of a right back or even centre mid. Experienced Batth is there but a potential reshuffle might see Triantis start next weekend.
