Is this a new signing target? Can he play beside Joe Newell in a 2? 😀

Say what you like about Willie Miller but he was praising Joe to the hilt on the radio post match.
Always check your homework before you hand it in :greengrinQuote:

Very good again yesterday. It was another unnecessary booking though but he probably watched Shinnie getting away with similar time after time and thought if its good for the goose.
I wonder if there was an element of premeditation because it means he'll be back for the hertz game.
If he was booked against Celtic on Wednesday or Livingston, he'd have been suspended for the derby.
Good shout, we’d miss him in any game but I would not have wanted to go into the derby without him. Although not ideal him missing Ross County away is not a disaster. Does highlight how reliant we are on Joe, Dylan and Jeggo remaining fit as I’d not see any suitable candidates to step into the CM role should we lose 2 of them at once.Quote:

I was initially a bit worried about him and Levitt but the manager needs two players in the middle who can pass, and Jeggo/Campbell don't fit the bill.
Obviously don’t want Ross County game to be off as he would miss the derby. This is where it gets really annoying when some players get booked cheaply while others carry a cloak of protection ala Shinnie. Wonder if anyone else is near a ban. Wouldn’t surprise me if Miller is close giving the number of bookings.
This x 1000000000Quote:

From what i remember it is six that means a suspension but there is a number of games where yellows are scrubbed. Want to say 18 or 19.Quote:

Yes, 6 is a suspension, and the slate is wiped clean after 19.Quote:

I think when he was playing alongside Steven Whittaker in midfield he came on leaps and bounds, and since then he’s been super consistent.
He’s a superb player and I’m glad he loves the club and city as he’s bordering on irreplaceable right now.
Tend to agree would seem fairerQuote:

He was excellent on Sunday, but over the piece, if anything, I’d say our system and tactics aren’t getting the best out of him.
Bloody Monty!Quote:

Player of the season by a mile for me so far. Miller and Rocky been excellent also, Joe is just a different class though.
Perfect player for us, got the bite and workrate to match his silky dribbling and passing. An excellent all action midfielder and should be our captian imo.
And a genuinely nice guy.Quote:

When he first joined Hecky played him wide left midfield and looked hopeless. He was pretty much tarred with the same brush as Doidge and to a lesser extent Vela as being not good enough. Once Hecky went and Newell went to centre midfield he’s been a different player.Quote:

He's now on 4 yellows. Strange that because I'd have thought the 2 yellows he got were spent when he served his suspension.Quote:
