    Fair enough.

    I said it was controversial. Clearly is.

    I agree but Kyogo is 7 years older or there abouts. The bhoy is still learning the game.

    The one thing about Abada that he really needs to learn is how to protect his full back, far too often leaving him 2 on 1. Saying that, our goal came from that as well so * it.

    And nobody said anything different.

    The comment was about right now though.

    Aye Ralston was left 2 on 1 every time they came down the left.

    That’ll come with age though. Don’t think it was lack of effort, just when ever he chases back he seems to run towards the centre instead of chasing the fullback.

    4 goals and 3 assists in his first 8 games. What a signing!

    The only thing he needs to work on is tracking back and helping the right back.

    He is only 19 and will need to up his engine but he has plenty of time to do that.

    Think this lad is going to be a star for us and the next big transfer when he does decide it’s time to move on.

    Aye defensively he runs towards the ball rather than defending the space. Weirdly he’s really good at defending the space when shutting down opposition defenders

    It’s as if when he’s chasing back he thinks about where we would run to instead of where the fullback will run to :giggle1:

    His tracking wasn't the best at times but he put in some shift and never stopped going, he's still better than Forrest at pressing and defending as well.

    Could see Ralston getting caught lots of times between which player to pick to defend because Abada or Starfelt had left him hanging.

    Coped OK but could likely have done without it.

    I thought this too, and felt Ralston was repeatedly exposed. Probably not helped by having Rogic close by (who seems to play more right-side), and you can see the contrast with Christie out on the right who works his socks off.

    Plays a mature, confident game in a lot of ways.

    Really good signing very direct and dangerous should get a decent amount when we sell him on. Personally I would start Forrest ahead of him though.

    Goals and assists, his fitness and ability to influence more of a game will come in time.

    He's going to do very well here but * sake he does look like a wee boy trying to control a beach ball at times.
