There’s a fair point in the original post: why expect Andreas Skov Olsen to suddenly become something he has not been, simply because the manager’s blueprint looks different? Fans are quick to demand ...
Let’s cut to the chase: Connor Barron gets an unfair amount of stick from some supporters. You can pick holes in any player’s game, but there’s a difference between constructive criticism and knocking...
We all want the same thing: players who give us a proper go and care about the badge. With Olsen it's tempting to split the picture — he has the technique and calm on the ball, but there are genuine q...
Connor Barron is getting a rough ride online and it’s tiring to watch. He’s 23, covers acres of ground and does the gritty defensive stuff that doesn’t get the headlines. He wasn’t signed to be the cr...
To be fair, both sides have been patchy this season. The point I'm making is straightforward: it's not quite right to claim the other lot have had 'plenty of good performances' while we haven't. Early...

There’s a logic to keeping an experienced, homegrown international around when you’re about to rip the squad up and start again. Danny Rohl has talked about him as a leader and, to be fair, you can se...
Right after that miserable cup final the manager didn’t spend long on the scoreboard — he kept coming back to the performance. The message was plain: the result stung, yes, but don’t let one game defi...
Plenty of folk have said Rangers would have beaten Celtic twice if Barron had played. I get the point, his work-rate lifts a midfield, but that alone doesn't turn a team into title winners. Energy is ...
There’s a fair point buried in the posts about Fernandez: supporters will always dream big, but transfer markets don’t take fan wishlists seriously. The truth is the selling club’s price and the playe...
