This will need fact-checking but... I think yesterday was the first time we have scored in the first 15 mins of a league game at home since Tim Dieng got one in October 2022 (apologies if this has already been stated somewhere in this thread) Sinisalo - Usual strong presence and couldn't really...

Sinisalo - didn't have alot to do but what he did do, he did well. Probably should have been more vocal in the mix-up with Aimson in the first half as he had sight of both players and could make the call. Sweeney - Not at the races. Not sure why he went off... Illness? Lots of misplaced passes...

I'm a fan. Don't think it's a coincidence that our upturn in form and improvement in the final third has occured since he arrived. He's bright, good on the ball, works hard, gets stuck in and is on the same wavelength as Aitchson. Goals and assists will come.

Sinisalo - Should he have done better with the 1st? Not much he could have done with the other 2 I think. Aimson - Played well. Glad there was none of the recent booing nonsense. Diabate - Great battle with Collins that he won. Jules - Solid as usual but got burnt by Mendez-Laing for the...

Sinisalo - Very good. Could do nothing with the goal and made an unbelievable 1st half save from a header to stop us going 2 down. Sweeney and Jules - Ok but nothing to write home about. The latter often looks lost when taking the ball into the middle or final third. Diabate - Did well against...

I suppose it depends how much we've saved on Scott. The loan aspect makes me think we're still paying a decent chunk of his wages... I wonder if a journo will have the courage to ask at the briefing tomorrow...

Interesting that it's a loan deal until the Summer and then he'll sign a permanent 2 year deal with St.Mirren (according to their X account). Does that mean we might be subsidising some of his wages for the rest of the season?

I think Aitchson has now played about 23 league games for us. His goals and assist tally is the same as his red card count according to Google...

I was being sarcastic... See my other recent home match reports for context

Sinisalo - Precious little to do. Handled well, distribution iffy. Sweeney, Diabate, Jules - Solid but did we really need a back 3 against that opposition with the way they set up? Niskanen - Solid and hardworking but struggles to make a significant impact Purrington - Good home debut which he...

First half looked a little anxious, snapped at a couple of chances and was booked for a poor foul. First 15 minutes of the second half I thought he was electric and Carlisle couldn't get hold of him as he broke lines, ran in behind, played a sensational 40 yard ball with his left peg etc. It was...

Sinisalo - Didn't have a lot to do. One terrible pass accompanied by a Carroll slip nearly cost us big time in the first half. Don't think he could do anything with the goal. Sweeney - Generally tidy and solid. His lack of pace nearly got exposed late on as Carlisle piled forward down our...

Sinisalo - Solid (didn't have much to do to be honest) Aimson - Did very well. Yes, his distribution isn't as good as Sweeney but he's quicker, wins more headers and rarely gets beaten to the ball. He was up against a very good winger tonight and played him well. Diabate - Rock solid...

Kite to Bristol Rovers is a possibility according to Duke Roll...

Completely agree. Quite confused by the negativity towards him. I actually don't think he's struggling that badly. In the first half he scuffed one 40 yard diagonal he tried. He made a couple of other errors but worked hard, won his headers, put his body on the line etc. If you're a defender...

He was underrated by some fans and poorly used by Caldwell (how many positions did he play in last season?!?). He may well end up in the Prem and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get international honours with the Republic of Ireland. Great lad. Well done JK

I personally wouldn't play Scott or Diabate upfront. I'd revert to a similar team that started against Reading but have Wildschut for the injured Mitchell. The number 9 options are so poor that we might as well play a false 9 in Aitchson or Cole and push Yanic on a little and free him from some...

It'll be interesting to see if some tough questions are asked in the post match interview... I don't think Caldwell will resign. A brief look at his time at Chesterfield will tell you that. Tuesday night is going to be toxic.

Just heard the interviews from Caldwell and Aimson. It was good to hear Aimson. I'm not as down on him as others here. I know there was a big backlash when he wasn't interviewed post-Derby but thought his apology was sincere and on the pitch I don't think he's as bad as people have made out...

Desperately disappointing. Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards (repeat ad infinitum). Occasional good long diagonal to Wildschut who seems an intelligent footballer. I'm abit lost for words but here goes... Sinisalo - great save in the first half. Difficult to say if he could have done...
