    Did not expect to see him start tomorrow but hopefully he can get some good minutes off the bench in the second half.

    Hope he doesn't 'hit' the ground at all. He'll be out for 2 months knowing our luck!

    Yea I'd seen something that he was inured tail end of last season which delayed his own preseason.
    Good to see he is on the bench....and also good to see players no be rushed back

    i know we wont do it but wouldnt it be good to see the big guy an ajeti playing togther

    we couldnt fail to score goals if them 2 were in the middle and crosses were getting fired in by jota and abada with rogic hitting 25 yarders

    no park the bus teams would hold us out with that type of formation

    Apparently nowhere near match fitness likely to feature after the international break.

    And he will use the next 4 games between now and the international break to build his fitness, still sounds like he’s miles off it

    Perfect example of why we need to be quicker in the transfer market.

    It's over 3 weeks since Eddie left and his replacement is "nowhere near match fitness", as a result we've played under-strength teams and had no options off the bench that have cost us games.

    I hope the supporters keep pushing for a DOF to take these matters out of the hands of our penny-wise pound-foolish board.

    Doesn’t say much about Giakoumakis if his fitness is lacking that much.

    Must have done * all during the summer.

    Looking forward to seeing this guy. Don't get alot of negativity with this signing. Think he will be a mainstay once he gets going. Providing ange stays with furuhashi wide

    The likes of Bayo and Kouassi also took ages to get off the bench, and it turned out it was nothing to do with fitness.

    I struggle to believe this guy is too unfit to play against Raith Rovers, he’s been here almost a month - a few jogs after training would suffice.

    It’s more likely that last season was indeed an anomaly.
