Listening to Cardiff pundents it appears that Robbo has been playing as either an 8 or a 6 and been fantastic in both. Never seen him as a 6 but reads the game very well and passing breaks lines. If Mooy can play as a 6 then Robbo is worth a look

Hopefully Toure's start has given him the focus to kick on

I always wanted to see Metcalfe tried at RWB He can play 6,8,10 and wide and is a good utility. He also did well when asked to fill in at RB for StP Was hoping he could be this generations Wilkshire

Really want to see Poppa adjust the formation next game from a 3421 to 352. Let Irakunda play up next to Toure as striker like he does for club and put Metcalfe or one of the AM's in a 10 role to boost the middle. That would be better for Boyle too who plays striker now only for hibs

He's a striker that looks for runs and gets in behind being asked to play as an attacking mid. His assets don't translate to this system

Lots of love for Gauci on Port Vales FB page

With Goodwin and likely McGree back in contention I'm worried Segecic might be left out.

Feel like Toure and Irankunda are being hung out to dry with this team selection

Tilio in action overnight

I know Boyle cops some heat but I like him. Has been great for Hibs in both SPL and Europe and loves being positive. Playing with his back to goal isn't his game. Scott MacDonald also struggled in that thankless role and I always thought a MacDonald / Kennedy front Two would have been good

Boyle is good in a front 2 playing off a no9. He doesn't have the attributes to be a target man

Id much rather we played in Europe in that window. Busy time of year and the players don't need the extra travel. I feel like segacic and Irakunda might need to be managed as the Championship is brutal on new young players.

Boyle goal on 5:00 Volley onto crossbar 11:50

We seem to be pretty well stocked at attacking midfield when everyone is fit so I'm wondering if Metcalfe should be considered as one of the centre mid selections as we we are light on in their especially with no Triantis now and Robbo unlikely. Metcalfe can fill either a holding or no8 role...
