I think we all thought Miovski was probably going to be the best bit of business we had done in the summer but Lopes is defo giving me cause to reconsider that at the moment. I'm not saying that because BM is going through a dry patch either, Duk seems to have it all. Good on both feet, strong on the ball, very unpredictable, knows where the net is and a good burst of pace about him too. His attitude seems first class too, I was very impressed at how quickly he got in shape when he first arrived. He dropped half a stone easy in a fortnight.
Suppose this is as good a time as any to give a first report card on the summer business.
Coulson - big thumbs up
Richardson - i don't think he's as bad as some make out but he's defo been shaky and pleased to see him taken out of the firing line. Another player I thought looked better with the back 3.
Morris - did better against thistle but that wasn't difficult given how poor he's been and still not seeing why he's getting in ahead of Duncan.
Besuijen - not technically a summer signing but worth including here I think. Defo had his moments and capable of something out of nothing but he needs to improve his consistency. Pass marks for sure though.
Roos - seems solid enough, certainly not looking out of place
Miovski - big thumbs up
Clarkson - so far so good, not much yiu could fault about him all things considered.
Stewart - good penalty box defender, only thing I've not liked about him is some of his distribution decision making.
Scales - thumbs up, would be big if he wasn't on loan.
Rama - big thumbs up, especially now he's playing as a 1 in front of defence. It really suits his game.
Roberts - we likely won't be able to judge until after the WC
