Can I just say I was so happy seeing the 4 people I have "promoted" work so well in unisen. Agent Aphelion strikes again ??
Sorry I have got to have some fun.
We can win this League title with this squad

The team has gone up a level with the intro of
Skov,
Naderi,
Rommens.
It was no surprise Moore then went up 2 gears, and the whole team followed.
Naderi - Has toes!! And is always on his toes, unlike the 11 players in the first half, all resting on their heels!
We have composure in Skov - at last.
And we have a player who runs with the ball with his head up! In Rommens!
Moore is the creative 10 we need!
Naderi
Gassama Skov
Moore
Raskin Dio/ Chucky
Rommens Manny Souttar Tav/ Sterling/ Aarons
Butland
That's the 1st team for me.

Your Crackerjack pencil is in the post, Aph!

Aph, got to say, mate, fair play, you said Antman would excel at lw, and he certainly looks like he will with Rommens there. Do you think we will play 4-2-3-1 with Moore in the 10, or 4-2-2-2 with Moore and Skov as two 10s behind two strikers?

Aphe, they did look good. All about consistent application of that now. I temper it with it was a 10 man Killie, and in the last 30 minutes they were going to tire and leave space. Hopefully the others realise the competition now and push on. btw, I think you can add Antman to the list, as he at least started to show some of the reasons why we bought him.
Danny Rohl's post match interview was very interesting re fan response to the first half. Can't say I disagree, even if we did seem to settle at 1-0 for that half.

We've needed a link between Raskin/Dio and the strikers for a long time, a pure ball carrier, that's Mikey Moore. He won us that game on his own last night. A few bad moments, but he's fearless, that's why he'll go to the top. Rommens looks incredible.

Angus, fans shouldn't be booing players off at halftime when we are in a title race, but the first half was unacceptable imo, and those types of performances always catch up with you. Second half was far better, and the fans reacted in kind.
05 Feb 2026 12:09:55
Antman has a long, long way to go to prove himself. Aasgaard is a struggle to watch. I thought Aphe said he was better through the middle, not the left. Hope he comes good and proves me wrong.

Watching last night's relationship build on the left, I would be tempted to try Antman there because when he cuts inside it lets Rommens overlap him into the space, and they dovetailed nicely. I like Gassama, but he was terrible last night and should be left out and made to fight for his place. A few impact sub games wouldn't do him any harm.

I remember Celtic getting booed off the park a few ago for only beating Ross County 1-0. Now we are doing the same at half time. I hope it's only daft kids, but it's unacceptable. Don't deserve a good team.
05 Feb 2026 13:11:06
Wishy, not disagreeing, but they need to realise we were 1-0 up, weren't in any type of trouble, and Killie were always going to tire, and we had fresh legs with quality to put on. So the first 11 tired them and softened them up. Was I frustrated with the first half? Yes, but I agree, to boo does no-one any good.
I mentioned yesterday about Liverpool fans chanting the club's name just after they lost a bad goal. That type of support changes things on the pitch every time; gives players confidence.
We seem to wait for the team to inspire us rather than the other way around.
Before anyone starts, it isn't a criticism of the fans, just saying we can be such an influence for good and need to realise it.
One criticism though. I was watching on RTV, and they need to move the mike from the loud bloke who is all you can hear in the background. My nephew now knows about 10 new swear words after last night. ?

Angus, mate, I'm not in any way condoning the booing. I think, as a whole, Ibrox is a bit of a cesspit, and too many people want to jump down the players' backs as soon as they make a bad pass. imo the manager should be the one letting the players know the first half was unacceptable.
All I'll say though, if they continue to play like they did the last 30 mins, Ibrox will be jumping, as the fans do feed off the players.

Angus, mate, lighten up lol, only joking, pal. Yea, I watched on tv, do know of the language you've mentioned, terrible imo.
