SUBS –
DUNCAN IDAHO – N/A – Saturdays’ Big Dope came on with renewed hope; not a lot of involvement but one notable spin and strike that showed welcome sharpness.

YING – 6.5/10 – What’s going on with the K-Pop kid? All but written-off as the Korean Mikey J, he’s pinged into play this past month or so with energy, tenacity and a fair amount of impact, against various levels of opponent just to confuse you more. Tonight? A finely-worked goal to highlight his return-per-minutes and a major part in the fifth with bright setup play. Bhoy’s on a mission to win us over.
HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 6/10 – Luke, it’s like this – that’s the Luke we want; involved, purposeful and creative. Straight into the middle of things with intent is how it’s done.

PADDY’S BHOY – N/A – He’s about twelve, tall and rangy like his goalie Dad, but a hell of a lot better outfield and decisively composed for his fifteen-minute cameo debut. Nice one, kid.
OF JUSTICE – N/A – Fhs, Liam, don’t let him skin you like a Tavpen for the record-breaker. The Ginger Baresi will be skulking around the dressing room avoiding the Schmeichel Stare as I type…
It’s great to see Yang coming onto a game. I thought he wouldn’t make it but now when he comes on my heart doesn’t sink because I know he will contribute. Well done Brendan for sticking with him.
Maeda’s first was superb! Really well taken volley. If that was 2 seasons ago it wouldae been in row Z.
He’s playin REALLY feckin well & i’m noo a convert.
Long may it continue! 💚
PS. Makes ye wonder if Ange was wrong & shouldae had Maeda & Kyogo in switched positions
