Ice Man. Is gradually removing any concerns I had about his defensive abilities. If he's not in your top three for motm yesterday you know nothing. Or you weren't there, man.
I like the big man but that was not his best game - talented footballer still getting used to a role that he hasn't played long.

Shaky last period - slept on the touchline ,robbed of possession then beaten by their number 10 who got a shot on goal.

Was then rolled a couple of times by the same player - a Brechin player - not Diego Costa.

Plenty of potential but also plenty to be learned.
Agree.

Was good in the first half and wasn't as good in the second. Wee guy from Brechin (Everyone is smaller than Big Kristoffer) bullied him at times.

Like him though, honest, has plenty of ability and seems willing to learn.

Hopefully Compper or another top international CB will be alongside him to do the teaching.



Failing that, Luigi's mum for this bear :lol:

Agreed. He really struggled against their number 10. Which is a worry.
He looked pretty sluggish and leggy for last 30 minutes or so. Hopefully part of his struggles was a fitness issue.

You could have said that about just about every one of the CBs we've had over the last 10 years.

If we can manage to build him up as well as we've been doing, over the next few years - he'll be very good.
A good example of how our transfer and development strategy can work well.

He's had individualised gym programmes to build him up, coaching,loan period and now getting games.

People saying, no more projects are missing the point...Morgan is possibly another good one, albeit a bit older.

I couldn't understand why their number 10 didn't start the game. Looked a real handful when he came on and also looked too good for league 1 level.

Which is why he plays in the Championship.

He's powerful and he runs.
If he could kick a baw and watch where he’s running he’d be great.

Gave Sevco the runaround a few times when at same old Alloa always cheatin

It's harsh to say he really struggled. He made a mistake trying to show the ball out on the far side and the player did well to steal it and create a chance. Aside from that he took a while to adjust to the different challenge the sub presented but the more that battle went on the more he came out on top. It was also noticeable that the problems only really arose after Boyata went off. If he continues to play alongside a proper centre half he should improve and the errors reduce. I look forward to seeing him get a run alongside Commper. :thumbsup:

6 clean sheets since he came into the team after the Tynecastle debacle?

The criticism of his performances are just baffling to me.

Our hottest prospect and being written off by some already.

Typical.

Played a great through ball, a midfielder would be proud of...

Brendan really likes the long game, this guy will be mustard & I hope we see the benefits.

Still looks like a midfielder playing out of position at centre back to me.

Looks short on awareness what's going on around him at set pieces and cross balls a bad sign for a centre half.
