Burroughs  at right back ?

Yes. What's happening with him? I notice he's not in the first team squad on the official club website. Is that an error or is he still with us?

I was thinking that too, no mention of him anywhere.
I thought he looked pretty good last night, some good overlapping runs and cutbacks and composed defending. Surprised on that showing that we've not seen more of him. maybe he's been injured?

I was really disappointed with Angus last night, I thought he looked pretty poor against a very average side, thought he would have filled he's boots if he'd shown anywhere near the quality that I think he has.

Couple of things I noticed on Saturday.
The setup down there is obviously very nice, but just how much the two team benches are exposed. They were literally the first two rows of seats in the stand. No cover/dugout type setup.  The heat on Saturday was so brutal that during the first half nearly all of the home fans in that stand transferred to the opposite side to get out of the sun, leaving pretty well the two teams baking alone. I particularly felt sorry for the subs who cooked in the first half, stay out on the pitch during HT and then get cooked again 2nd half. At least the starters and management got 20 mins inside at HT. You'd think with an all new stadium they'd consider our climate and offer the players a bit of cover from the elements. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players had heat related illness that night.

The other thing was that one of our subs got booked at HT for saying something to the ref. Think it might have been Kosylo, but not sure. Wondering if that gets reported inside to the manager by the ref? assume that would then impact bringing him on as a sub as it has attached risk?

Poor day Saturday, keeper saved us from a significantly more embarrassing result. Hopefully a big reaction and result coming next time out !!

its a tough one. Its home after all. not sure the location is expandable or sustainable. maybe if we stuck a new build on the allotments out the back and then once built use the existing stadium footprint for proper parking etc?

I noticed their keeper was in the team of the week, didn't think he was even the best keeper at our game. Thought Ross was superb
