Evening All (again)
As I posted earlier Trusty seems to be our new Carl Starfelt in that some of our fans slate him etc.
He seems to be the new whipping boy for some fans.
Trusty has just joined the club and at the very least give him a chance to grow into team and club.
Personally, I think him and the others in defence were outstanding.
We have just played and drew with Europa League winners and highest scoring team in Italian league.
More positives than negatives for me.
We need to get behind every player in our team / squad in every game.
They are not robots and will have off games / days just like we have.
Always Keep the Faith.

A get what your saying mate but Trusty deserved the criticism he was getting even in the Falkirk game he was very poor, but tonight he deserves a great amount of praise and hope he has great confidence in that performance going forward.
{Ed007's Note - Players deserve criticism when it's due - which it definitely was with Trusty, the jury's still out on him for me, one good game does not a player make.

I had not t been impressed but the first 30 minutes of tonight's game that I Managed to see, he looked good.

True Brian. The guys just in the door yet fans were saying he's never worth 6 million, the jury's out etc. Our defence usually gives me the fear but watching tonight you could see the graft, discipline, positioning, covering. Great away point as I expected none from the Dortmund Atalanta and A. Villa games.

It’s not ideal for Trusty playing on the right side of our defence but he was outstanding tonight.
23 Oct 2024 21:46:47
Brian do you ever stop ? Ng absolute pish?
23 Oct 2024 21:58:59
This could be the turning point for Trusty?

Left footed CB's are hard to come by! Thought we were solid defensively but our passing at times was really poor.

I thought Scales was excellent despite having to play on his wrong side to accommodate Trusty who also had a very good game.
I’d said at time to Campsieboy after Dortmund drubbing that I hoped when Rodgers said he wouldn’t change his tactics that I just hoped what he’s saying and what he’ll be daen are two different things. Thankfully that was the case. He got it as right tonight as he got it wrong in Dortmund.

Brian it's too early to call him the new Starfelt, but equally early to tar his detractors with being Starfelt haters.
It's one of my pet hates when fans unjustifiably focus on a particular player (like Forrest a few years ago, or Taylor) but in my opinion as Ed and Troy said Trusty has deserved the criticism or at least the doubts he's had until now. If he was a youngster it would be harsh, but he was bought for a decent price and can reasonably be expected to have hit the ground running. I'm still not sure about him, but he did well tonight. If you play well you should get praised, but equally fans should feel free to express reasonable criticism.
I like your positivity, but I feel a lot of your posts are along the lines of "I told you so". Let's not be unfair, but wait and see.

I said before the game that Trusty had to turn up today and he did, we had a few great performances today but we defended as a unit and got our reward. Brilliant.

Scales played on the left did he not jfp?
