    At this point I don't know how many replays I have seen and its clearly not a handball. Never was. An absolute farce of a decision which had a very significant effect on the game. As bad as we were on the night we probably go on and at least get a point if not win the game given the timing of that goal early in the second half.

    His mobility is a big issue.

    I like him. Refreshing to see a striker that can hold the ball up a bit better.

    Seeing the ball stick is nice. Fitness will hopefully just keep getting better and go up another level. Either way (no laughing) we should be spending big on a striker in January.

    In addition to two wingers of Tounekti and Bali level.

    Seems to be enjoying it here which will hopefully get the best out of him. Already looking like an upgrade on Idah

    Proper centre forward. Great touch and vision. Just knew he was scoring the penalty too.

    Aye, loved how he grabs Nygren after the equaliser.. Mon its just an equaliser..

    Definitely has the mentality to play for us.. and he'll need to carry the no9 position until Jan

    Massive upgrade on Idah, not even close. Even just mentality and what he brings to the dressing room, suits us far more.

    Fitness will improve too.

    Starting to really take to him.

    Still think his sharpness is not quite there yet. There was a chance, think Maeda from the right pings it across and he's half a boot away from turning it in and the defender clears it first.

    He's getting in the right spaces, he's reading the line well and he's making the runs, but think a wee bit of sharpness to come after this international break and he's putting those ones away.

    Was a few moments today, as in other games, you can really see his natural ability is in there.
    Gonna be a good player and looks like he's already taking to the club.

    Feels like he finds the net every game.

    Kilmarnock (goal)
    Red Star (goal)
    Hibs (disallowed goal)
    Braga (disallowed goal)
    Motherwell (goal)

    Guy knows where the goal is.
