    Some man.

    I think he looks excellent early doors. Quick, always looking to pass or drive forward and I counted 5 or 6 important interceptions in there alone.

    Won't score us many goals (if any) but could well be an important player over the course of 60-70 games.

    Really like the look of him, but early days..

    Optimistic he can be special for us.

    Lenny the best to learn from in that position.

    He’s got the potential to be the kind of player I love, favourite position and style to watch. Just bossing midfield.

    Looks Solid!
    Could be the kind of guy that we start bleeding in to take over Broony!
    Said it last year but surely this season Broony gets dropped for the wee games...

    Looks strong in the tackle and keeps play ticking over moving the ball forward quickly. Perfect guy to have in for Broony when he needs rested. Sure it will be a while before we see him in any big games as he will need to adapt to playing under that kind of pressure but the early signs are very positive!

    Enjoyed that..

    His first touch is very good. Seems to have a very good awareness of where he is and what's around him. His passing is crisp and positive. Snuffs out the danger well..

    Very promising..

    Thanks for that, he looks very promising, bit raw like klimala but you knew that when we were buying them, he's in a nice big group of players like klimala Robertson dembele Welsh connell that really seem to be getting better by the game with the coaching they are getting.

    Got a guy on twitter actually debating with me that Soro is a better player than Brown! :56::56::56:

    Apparently Soro is younger, fitter and more energetic. So he must be better and must play ahead of Brown.


    By that logic Henderson, connell, Robertson are also better.



    Not sure who, but someone from here found the thread and waded in as well

    Soro is nowhere near Brown, he's nowhere near ready to be the replacement we need.

    We might as well sell him now.

    Lennon will persist with Brown until he retires. Holding midfielders, however talented, are wasted here until then.

    Tbh there is an element of truth to it.

    But Broony still has a big part to play, but Lenny needs to change it about.

    He should drop McGregor if not Brown, tbh McGregor has been so so poor, and with him and Broony they are basically auxillary CBs, the amount of times they passed to our CBs was criminal.
