Been doing that for a while now, the Airdrie lad Ryan, Nisbet, now these two, still isn't getting them promoted right enough.
Still don't know how our 2 new signing will do though, they're being written off already and hardly kicked a ball. Poplatnik looked no bad against Hibs, and won us the pen, the Sevco game didn't suit him but he may well be a decent goal scorer against the other teams, getting support in and around the box, as long as he can stick it in the net does it matter if he isn't a big physical player like Dykes. We'll have more of the ball and will run at teams outside the erse cheeks. Reckon with Forrest and Sibbs getting balls to him Poplatnik could be a good goal threat.
Sal looks good in the air, was also good at scoring goals in the lower leagues, and is a work in progress, he could develop into a really good player. Both will need games to get into their stride though, Poplatnik didn't even play in any of our friendlies. Even if we bring another striker in there's no guarantee he'd hit the ground running, Dykes wasn't exactly banging them in either, both his goals were pens.
The team have already made a good bit of improvement from the first 2 games, if we defend like we did against Sevco and attack like we did against Motherwell we'll be perfect.
