Berra was immense when he first came back. Souttar top player aswell (slightly over rated though imo) 
Smith is a top player, Halkett was a very good signing. It was only left back that was an issue. 
Levein is a defence minded mofo but he's pretty good at that usually.


Defensively we regressed last season.

Under him in the league we went the following:

2017-18  
Played 34
Goals against 33
Goals for 36

2018-19
Played 38
Goals against 50
Goals for 42

2019-20
Played 11
Goals against 15
Goals for 10

Total 
Played 83
Goals against 98
Goals for 88

An absolutely abysmal record at both ends of the park!

We regressed in every area but it wasn't the defence that was the problem, it was the lack of goals and the lack of actually playing football.

To put it in context, we were joint 7th in the league terms of goals scored last season and 8th best in terms of goals conceded.

Equally shite at both.

His movement is top class. Pity his end product is lacking because he isn’t far off being an absolute machine at this level. Maybe the goal will give him some confidence Pretty good

Good to see him getting his knob wet finally but he looked like he wanted to anything else but shoot Warnock

Even without the goal he was outstanding tonight, if he could add goals to his game he wouldn’t be playing for us. If we keep him fit he’ll be massive for us going forward.

I reckon he's very much a confidence player and we'll hopefully see more goals in the next few weeks. He caused some amount of bother for Hanlon.

Really knows how to run the channels.

Shooting is always his last option but hopefully this goal kicks him on.

Have wanted him to get a run of games for months now and he’s justifying his selection. Yes getting a goal in a derby was brilliant especially for his confidence but his contribution was so much more than that. Ran their back 4 ragged with and without possession, great attitude. Hope him, Naismith and Boyce all start on Saturday which suspect will be the case with Moore’s knock. Washington can be a big player the next couple of months.

If we’ve got other players who are starting to stick the ball in the pokey, I’m not too bothered about him scoring tbf. Two games in a row he’s caused absolute havoc for the defence. Constantly chasing and hassling. Bringing others in.

Goal was a beauty.

Love him.
