Yep. Are we going to witness a massive implosion? The lead they've let slip. I don't care, Souttar is more than of the grade and has a higher than average performance. Not to say their defenders aren't good but they're slipping up more and more.

Mental day with Leicester losing and Ipswich and Southampton winning. Leeds a point last night. 

Harry Souttar was picked in Asian cup team of the tournament by ESPN.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39480199/asian-cup-team-tournament
 He was one of the best CB in this year Asian cup so his form wasn't bad at all. Leicester has been losing the last 3 game they should at least give him a chance. 

Leicester like having ball players at cb

I think ball playing is a strength of souttar, but the coach looks quite ideological to the point where someone being slightly better at distribution but much worse at defence gets chosen

In any case we hopefully will have 3 epl quality cbs ik circati souttar and burgess next year and two epl quality wing backs in metcalf and bos. Should we play 343 at national level?

Hibs won with Boyle and Miller. No Baccus. Full game for Yengi. Hearts Celtic tomorrow.

Glover back to bench as Boro lose with McGree starting. 

O'Neill playing and leading as we speak. 

Final 15 for Kalik and full game for Italiano. 

Relegation could lead to a lot of game time, which would be great for his develop, plus falling off the Azzuri radar. Fine with both.

By sitting on the bench for 99% of games in EFL that will ruin his value & future. His chance of playing in EPL again is very slim.

Rowles and Nieuwenhof start for Hearts vs Celtic

Celtic down to 10 & Hearts 1-0 up a HT. Volpato on the bench in a real relegation battle game. Their best player Berardi has just come off injured, so they'll be up against it now. 

Sassuolo trail 0-1, Volpato on with 10 mins to go

Nieuwenhof with a really weird assist against Celtic. 

He slips over in the box and the he kinda kicks it on the floor and it ricochets off the floor into Shankland who scores.

Bad loss
In the relegation zone

Both teams were super conservative

Reckon it would do volpato good have a season or at least half a season in seri b getting minutes in his legs

Wiesbaden cruising at 2:0. Iredale still on bench. They'll probably begin shutting up shop soon.

Reading Nieuwenhof with an impressive game. My app says Devlin came on for him with (injury) stated. Not sure how accurate or serious this info is.

Iredale on at 76min mark. Many touches already. Swarmed by defence as Elversberg desperately want to get back into the game. 

Get in! Iredale with a rocket into the net. Tiring opponent allows him to easily round his man on the top corner of the box and he just leans and smacks it with his right. Slight curve away from keeper too. 3:0.

Francois on the bench

Not the greatest weekend for osaussies.

Still, our bad weekends this year are better thsn our good weeks 5 years ago

Wiesbaden manager has really taken to utilising the squad this campaign. Lots of rotation and usage of most members so they're sharp fit and hungry. You can see the bench often very keen to get on. Manager with a bit of a smirk and fist punch when Iredale scored 'that's what we've been working towards.' Immediately went to next 2 from bench like a junior coach saying it's their turn for minutes.

Iredale goal here. Decent twitter page this one.

Good diving save by Ryan. Got a hand to the goal but a bit too much pace and spin on that one. 

How is this a bad weekend?

Nice!

Chipperfield motm with 2 goals off the bench

Triantis bench
Glover unused sub
Silvera bench
Devlin bench
Atkinson unused sub
Volpato bench
Kuol unused sub
Francois bench (will see if subbed)
Bilapovic unused sub
K yengi bench
Peupion not in squad (a long shot to be fair haha)

Not a terrible weekend but well below average for this season 

Francois on 57th minute

Nil all against top club brondby

Liam Chipperfield came on for the last 15 minutes and scored two goals. Strong Olyroo contender. He now has 10 goals and 3 assists in 24 games this season in all competitions.  And those stats in only 852' minutes.

When I say weekend I mean the whole AA week. 

Triantis bench.      - Triantis came off the bench for both games this week and wasn't even playing all season
Glover unused sub - Again wasn't playing for most of the season 
Silvera bench - He is a usual bench player so nothing unusual
Devlin bench - Was injured all season and came off the bench twice this week 
Atkinson unused sub - Played one game and wasn't good enough for the next game
Volpato bench - Played twice for Sassuolo this week 
Kuol unused sub - This is pretty usual every week
Francois bench (will see if subbed) - He came on which is unusual
Bilapovic unused sub - Not good enough
K yengi bench - This happens every game 
Peupion not in squad (a long shot to be fair haha) - Started in FA Cup

Circati came back to the starting lineup
Bos MOTM
Nieuwenhof MOTM
Chipperfield MOTM
Iredale Goal
Tete Yengi Goal
Heaps more players started and came off of the bench

I think it's been pretty standard but happy with a lot of the performances. 

Zak Gilsenan came on in the 90th minute for Blackburn.

August last year he played for Ireland U21. He's probably going to stick with Ireland. 

Fair enough, in any case its better than 5 years ago

That was the dumbest penalty ive ever seen

No threat on goal, rolling harmless to the keeper, 10 metres away the rb decides to rugby tackle a player in the box

Borderline match fixing frim heracles :D

@bboy, dont think natty got dropped actually he started ij the hibs ggame after the rangers game and got dropped

Looks like the coach rotates the squad
