CALMAC – 8.5/10 – Bossed it. Called the shots, took plenty and gave back good as he got, picking up a clever yellow. Relished his dual role of digging in and sparking retaliation with quick forward balls. Amazing what he can do with the right protection in the middle to ally with.
Speaking of…
THE TERMINATOR – 8/10 – THIS is how the bhoy becomes a great – aggression coupled with ability. Needs more of whatever he’d been smoking before kick-off. Put himself about like he owned the shop and threw in moments of genuine quality. MON has nailed his most effective role – a HOLDING midfielder with licence to roam into forward openings. At least we’ll have this to remember before the new Pope rolls in and plays Arne in nets…
HAKUNA HATATE – 9/10 MOTM – Peak Reo has been achieved once again. In conditions like one of Jamesy’s fan meet-and-greets, Reo relished being dripping-wet and slapping around some Dutch as he found his sweet-spot, mercurial and unplayable. Recently his team-mates have been the ones finding him more difficult to read than Bonnie Blue’s dad flipping through her diary, (…Saturday: got railed by some Onion Bears, or ‘the tiny teddies’ as I like to call them, lol…”) but there he was, bang at the centre of the storm changing the game with guile and savage execution. Excellent stuff.
Vintage Reo. Give us more.
👏👏👏👏🍺
Let Wilfried wait till May.
MON &SM getting a tune out of the squad.
Cal Mac who I had given up on back at his best.
Treble on if the Temps stay.
Wilfried’s imminent arrival a concern.
Great support from the travellers last evening.👏👏👏
Hail hail
Had B.R. still been around , we would have played a 4-3-3 and got “Humped” , by a verry good team . Change of formation (extra men in mid-field) allowed our creative players to excel . Engels , Hetate , McCowan McGregor all showed how they can play when they are not outnumbered in mid-field . Instead of chasing shadows they were running the game —Something the most discerning fans have been calling-out for seasons .
Well done MON & staff .
Can we just keep MON & Maloney? At the very least please promote MON to the new post of Director of Football. This move would demonstrate the board have learned lessons and are now starting to take the club in the right direction. No club can afford to let a man of MON’s calibre just walk away.
