Looks like a bump.

Is Cortez going to be the next perpetual injured

[Malkytfp1 19,540]

Probably better scoreline than I expected.

Playing with possession across the back. Bypass the midfield then hoof the ball forward and turnover possession. This is how Clement sets up.

Long term projects are all well and good but what the fuck is Clement doing on the training pitch 

And playing players to their strengths.

Wright has looked half decent in preseason in what looks to have been an old fashioned inside forward role, left & right, but slightly more central.

Now he appears right of a front 3 and we can’t get him into the game to use his pace & directness.

Add in the fact they look like they met in the car park before the game…

[JackAlex93 12,470]

Pish first half

[OrangeRab 3,362]

That Taylor boy would be a lovely upgrade for Tav.

Looks like he has the pace and engine to get up and down that flank all day 

[BlueThunder 8,636]

That was terrible. Best player was the new Hearts lad. Cortes looked abysmal that half. Also looked like he might not fancy continuing.

cortez is done

I'm not sure like. He held his knee then held his ankle, seemed a bit like playacting 

[esquire8 44,995]

If Cortes is done then we are in trouble.

Dessers again. 

Barron and Diomande have done well in the middle. Everywhere else has been concerning.

[Inigo 33,277]

Not many positives. Lack of a number 6 is probably the biggest stand out. But generally still to many poor to average players out there.

His best games last season was playing more centrally, I’d hook Lawrence for Cerny.

Got to say, the discarded Barrie McKay looks more use than him today…

[Jelle1880 610]

If Cortes is injured again just send him back to Lens.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 55,254]

We're fucking gash

[molesmole 1,346]

Clement is a great manager etc.. or so most keep saying.

Sorry the football is pish - the message is is all wrong. Poor signs end of last season all of pre season and now opening day.

We have better players than what is being shown imo.  Don't see who is improving or who looks great in this system. 

Not the Tactics I think we should employ and team selection ain't right for Tyncastle away.

Got to keep the medical team busy since Jack left.

[.Williamson. 87,117]

Barrons looked good. Want to see Cerny on, Wrights offering nothing as usual 

Just looking at the entire season as a building thing now tbh.

We’ve got an obligation to buy.

This does not surprise me. Swear to god, our board sends Rodney Trotter to set-up deals.

[adam2102 660]

Just me that was pleasantly surprised?  It was absolutely awful? But not quite as awful as I thought.   2/10

Was just about to say it doesnt look like he fancies it at all here.

A gran in a zimmer frame would be an upgrade on Tav.
