Some good, more bad. Don't think he's won a header yet and some of his first touches have left a lot to be desired. That said he's had a couple of nice wee lay offs and has hit the post (mishit effort though). Also was really unlucky with a heel flick he tried.

There's been good and bad. Crosses into our box still seem a problem but some of our passing and movement has been very encouraging. Milanovic is impressing when he gets on the ball and when we are attacking it is with intent. All is not lost.

Hard to argue with any of that. That said for someone else to win the league I think the only way it happens is by finishing second one season, somehow navigating the CL qualifiers assuming second place gets you into it, and getting to the league phase. Only then is a club going to have the finance to take a proper swing for 1st place in the league imo.

Re bloom some of his quotes about ending ugly sister domination seem almost a bit mad vlad.

I wish I shared your confidence as I think we are still a way to go defensively (cup final when we went to a 3 aside) before we could be classed as streetwise. I personally think Milanovic will be on from the start for extra height. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Devlin at left back with Shinnie in midfield. Time will tell, Thelin is hard to predict.

Que sera sera I suppose, let's just hope we give a good account of ourselves. My gut instinct is it would better to go into the conference league 2bh. I appreciate that could come across as an attitude that lacks ambition but we would have a far better chance of winning some games and getting out of the league phase. Also less likely to get a confidence sapping doing from someone.

Home to Bucharest or Drida. That's a winnable tie 2bf

Just watched it, I don't think I've ever seen a manager throw his team under the bus after his first league game in charge.

Aye some ping from the lad 2bf. Has anyone seen a link for the first goal as that sounded a belter too?

Look forward to seeing the goals from this one, had it on the radio and they were sploosing over them Patizan Belgrade next for Hibs, arguably an easier tie than the Danes but given their performances you wouldn't rule them out.

Why are the club being so miserly with how many strips they order these days? It's like they want to sell less shirts. Keep ordering them until there is no demand ffs

According to Scotlands coefficient we need a minimum of 4 teams into the league phase to stay in the top 15 and thus keep 5 euro spots. Yeah, I want utd to win. Want hibs to win too

Yeah saw that earlier. With the kind of losses they have been operating the past 5 years that ain't going to be easy to pay.

All the best Pape

When was the last time we sold out Killie away though?

We better not be giving them anything more than 550 in the return fixture

If we got a mill for him that would be outstanding business

That must be a lovely memory for you, kudos to the old man for agreeing

Aye, the draw has given a few older fans I know ptsd

Came to post this, if we got what we paid for him that would be solid business

Since brexit there has been far more interest in Scottish youth from daan saaaf. Being priced out is defo a thing now

Exactly, they say nothing when asked about it. They don't say we have no interest in the player. I don't disagree he would be a solid signing incidently but I agree with Rico that wee Brucey would be a far better option

The only thing I would disagree with there is I think wee brucey is a more dangerous striker than Sokler. Different types of player though, Sokler will work the channels for you far more effectively than Anderson.

The club have already poured cold water on the Ronan Hale link. Think it was about a month ago.
