A bit of pressure on those 3 and Findlay based on what's been said on here. Great that DM has been so candid in some respects but sometimes it's better to say nothing...unless he maybe thinks it will get even more out of them having got to know them (and already knowing SF). Also another reason to stream/record it so that that context and exactly what was said isn't lost.

Beni Or Shanks, Wilson and Kabore each to be in a race to 20. But Beni will score at least one!!!

This thread is about as jkb as it gets. Thanks for those who attended for trying to report what Del said. One thing i wonder, do Brighton and USG clubs and fans talk about JTA as much as we do? Wonder if it'll calm down. Hope it does. Id like us to stop talking about it so much.

Exactly

Get Karoline Leavitt to front any questions that are "off" subject.

My group of Wheatfielders who will be in the Main together are absolutely buzzing for it.

I’ve always been fine with it. I’ve always been fine with Findlay signing. I was merely stating a fact to those who have decided to conclude that McInnes went rogue and signed Findlay as one of his boys when in fact he scored sufficiently on the software to warrant the move anyway.

Is that not the same as saying every player (other than Shankland) who wasn't bought by him isn't rated by him? He said Kyziridis and Borchgrevink need to bulk up and confirmed we had an obligation to buy Elton. we knew about Kabangu already despite folk on here, who knew **** all, desperate to discount what was reported. It's a big jump to he doesn't rate them.

Agree with this post. The amount of excuses is pathetic. This is the first home competitive game under Derek McInnes and people should be getting along and lending their support.

So more positive on borch, less so on kyziridis and kabangu. I believe him when he says he’ll give everyone a chance though.

Borchy!

3 quality wingers still to arrive as well.

It will soon be a kickfact that we've been lumbered with a player that we didn't want. Next boo boy. Nap

Going by the last few posts it looks like a few, failed, comedians are warming up for their Fringe street corner shows...

No he didn’t say that. He said Birch had started well but will need to bulk up a bit. He said the same for Kyziridis. He also said Kyziridis didn’t have as much pace as he thought. He offered no comment on Kabangu other than saying he was in the building before Derek arrived and we were obligated to pay for him.

There was plenty opportunity for groups to remain seated together. Wheatfield being closed is just an excuse.

I’ve posted relatively similar already but those extra 6 months could be seen as Findlay the ‘new’ player obviously with caution and with reference to the old data but not just lumping in one percentage period of the data with the other if there is a potential reason to the explain the improvement examples of this ‘new’ player scenario we have seen could be Paul Hartley which arguably would be down to a positional change there are lots of other reasons that could be used it’s commonly done this way with data in general and gambling data in particular - as I say with caution and as you say no-one’s in a rush to question the longer term data without good reason

Really good night. He is really invested in being Hearts manager and as a former sceptic, I am too! Quite interesting that he said quite early on that the squad was unmanageable and that he is going to have to get a few out the door. He said that some had made enquiries already about leaving. He also said that the Hearts midfield lacked a physical presence last season. I can’t see where the likes of Dhanda, Spittal and Khartum fit into his thinking. I wonder also if he would consider bids for Beni, Devlin and the Hoff. He said he will need to be ruthless and pointed out his experience with Bristol City where he had a bloated squad. Great to hear him say he didn’t get on with Cormack. A weapons grade prick.

So kabangu, kyziridis and borch all arent rated by DM?

Good post.

A larger weighting is surely given to the most recent data. The minutes Findlay played at Morton over a decade ago (for example) aren't relevant to how he is as a player today. Likewise it doesn't matter how good someone was a few years ago if they've looked finished for the last couple of years.

JKB “Old Guard”?

Shankland will be top scorer but like it’s been mentioned I think we will have a better spread of goals. We need more players getting double figures.

The whole thing isn't Earth-shattering is it? I don't care The boy's signed, likely to do very well, Deek wanted him and probably didn't want killie to inevitably get him for a few obvious reasons It's all good here, are you good with it? I'm gonnae go ahead and assume you are

Still think Kingsley, Devlin, Spital, Denholm, Dhanda, Musa, Vargas, Forrest and possibly Beni will leave.
