Think it is time to give credit where it is due to some of the new players who arrived in the summer. I have been culpable of having a go at them at times this season but some have really stood up lately and played for the badge.

Like most I thought it was going to be Pena, Alves, Dorrans the more high profile players who were going to lead the way this season. Infact the little unknown Morelos (who does infuriate me by constantly being offside and can be selfishly greedy) gives one million per cent every game, especially recently.

Another is Candieas who is a workhorse and helps out the fullback from start to finish. He has really grew over the festive period and cannot speak highly enough of his contribution. Declan John again is growing every week and having him on one side with Tav on the other really gives opponents something extra to think about.

Finally, not a summer recruit but Holt gets a lot of stick on here and he can go missing at times but he has a next level in him that just requires consistency. To get rid of him anytime soon would be a mistake and I wouldn’t have thought he would be one of the highest earners in the squad.

agreed. tav and candias are quality down the right. If john and murphy can get a partnership going like that then we will have some good quality down the wings.

Thought Goss played very well against Aberdeen last night.

Agreed mate. Candeias’s work rate was absolutely phenomenal last night, his passing was spot on all night, he is perfect for the high press, him and Holt could have gone on for another 90 mins you feel! 😂 Candeias is also backing himself up with assist this season as well. Him and Tavs Can both cross and ball and link up really well.
