Apologies if there is already a thread about this, couldn't see one.

From the west stand I saw McGeouch getting frustrated with Gunnarsson in the first half, looking up and shaking his head a few times.

He then had a communication error with Oxley in the second half when the two of them tried to clear the ball which resulted in them shouting at each other.

He nearly scored a fatal OG against hertz last week and I wasn't convinced with his performance today. IMO wouldn't ever have him starting, maybe I'm just being too harsh! Thoughts?

He can play well (as he did today) without being brilliant. None of them were brilliant.

I thought he was average today, but I understand he was being played out of position. In any event, it's far too early to be judging him.

Thought he played well today. McGeoch did tear a strip of him in the first half but it was Dylan's first touch that got him in bother not Gunnerson's pass. The big man just shrugged it off. He looks a solid signing to me.

Did you see nothing positive at all today?

Thought the situation with Oxley was keepers fault if anything. He either comes for the ball or tells the defender to hoof it, he just seemed to stand and stare. In saying that if the keeper does fall asleep Gunnarson should just take charge.

Thought he done fine today, as did Oxley before anyone starts.

Played absolutely fine, first half was probably better than his second half where he was slipping a number of time. Oxley was at fault with the pass back ball, you could see even from the FFU he was waving Ox to come and get it.

After an average debut at Raith I think the laddie has fitted into the squad really well. Un fussy and competent. He would be a decent permanent addition I reckon.

Springbank

Thought he was excellent

Surprised at the tone of the Op.

Gunnarsson is calm athletic and comfy on the ball, had one slip but Bartley sorted it out and NG held his hand up in apology. But I think we've got ourselves a good un here

It was clear that Dylan and gunnarsson haven't played together much. A few times there was a lack of communication but that will go with playing. He looks a solid signing. Though i suggest him and the rest of the guys get new boots. Lots count of the amount of times they all lost their footing.

Made an error on the half way line that let them away 2 on 1 and Bartley bailed him out there. Apart from that his biggest issue seemed to be his studs as he slipped quite a few times in the second half.

The one with the indecision between him Oxley was down to Oxley IMO.

Gunnie played the ball too far in front of Dylan, Dylan had to stretch for the ball, nothing wrong with his first touch.

Dylan was unhappy obviously because of his recent groin strain keeping him out and being played a pass like that.

Dylan then stretched out his groin for 30 secs before having another pop at his pass.

There were a lot of slips in that half and have been a few times already this year. 2 today almost cost us a goal. Is it the pitch or are players using crap footware?

21-02-2016, 07:54 PM
The only thing he got really wrong was not having the right studs in, kept slipping at the wrong time. The mix up with Oxley was the keepers fault, far too slow in coming out, Oxley did the same in the 1st half with Fontaine.

Looks athletic and naturally fit . Give him games and time to adjust to the style here and he will be a good long term signing if he decides to stay.

If i was Gunnarsson id have kicked Oxley up and down Easter Rd for that. It was Oxley's ball to take every day of the week but the man will never come for balls. He had one poor back to Dylan..but bar that i thought he had an excellent game - still providing overlaps and width despite playing in a 3 man defence. The lad has plenty quality.

Thought he was the worst of a good bunch today. Far from a bad performance from him but didn't seem quite at the same level as the rest of the team. Appreciate he wasn't in his favoured position and hasn't played much so wouldn't be judging him too harshly! Absolutely blameless during the miscommunication with Oxley in my eyes though.

Other thing about him is he has a very decent touch, comfortable receiving the ball regardless of how it comes.

He was ok but I thought he and Fontaine were uncomfortable at times as part of a back 3. I think he'll be great cover for the rest of the season though.

I thought he done well. Done his job. Nothing spectacular, just a thorough professional performance at rcb and rb in the last 20 mins. He's been a very good signing. Wouldn't mind getting him on a permanent deal.

I Thought he was really good today. Very steady and not that it matters but thought oxley should have came for the ball in the 2nd half. Gunnersson is a young guy settling into a new team. He's only gonna get batter. I think he'll turn out to be a great signing.

if you watch his near 'fatal og' again you'll see if it wasn't for his vision and tackle Cowie was right through. he noticed Cowie was free and had the vision and awareness to drift from right back into the gap and took the ball off Cowie before he could shoot.

A quite superb bit of defending. Hitting his own bar was more unfortunate than near fatal.

Thought he done well yesterday but prefer him at RB

His first full game, just joined and settling in AND from a different league. What folk need to remember is he's cover for our defence and will take time to adapt.

He's ( in my opinion) been solid and will become an excellent addition to the team. I would be more concerned if he didn't fit in to Stubbs team spirit in the dressing room ( and I have no reason to believe he doesn't ).

I for one am glad we have him and when he puts the strip on will get 100% backing from me as will any player that Stubbs plays.

I kind of agree with your OP, however it's slightly harsh. He was playing in a back three but kept wanting to be a full back. I thought he did what he needed to do and it would be awfully harsh to single him out for slips with I seen numerous other players slip on several occasions all over the park yesterday. I think he's a great addition and good cover for Gray.

22-02-2016, 09:42 AM
I've liked the look of Gunnerson..he's obviously still being integrated into the team and it was slightly awkward for him to have to play as a centre half when his previous appearances have been as a right back, but I think he has started well and will only get better.

Agree PB. Ox has to come out and take charge or back off to give Gunnarson more space to give him the ball. However if there is any doubt Gunnarson should empty it and then argue his case.

I thought he did fine .... he did have a few issues with keeping his footing, but in truth the incident where Bartley* got him out of jail was caused by Gunnarsson turning into trouble when he didn't have to and then slipping .. he made a bad choice and nearly paid for it.

But you can see the lad has talent and athleticism and after a few games I can see him being a real asset.
