The Lads are back to talk about Fridays Quarter Final v Stenhousemuir
Uh, good evening, everyone, and welcome back to another podcast of Old Castle Rock. Uh, great to have you with us again. This is a place where we talk all things heart and Medlovian uh semi-finalists, the moments that lift the roof off Tite Castle, the ones that test your patience, the history of the stories, and everything around the club. Uh we're kicking off uh with obviously myself as uh host and joining me tonight. Uh uh my name is Gabby Kennedy, I should have mentioned that part. Uh, joining me tonight, we have uh Gaby Fleming. So, how are you, mate?
SPEAKER_03I'm very well, Mr. Kennedy, very well indeed.
SPEAKER_00And Andy Dixon, and how are you, mate?
SPEAKER_01Not bad, well, not bad at all. Um not one first part.
SPEAKER_00So lucky you so aye. Uh so we had another uh glorious weekend, shall we say? Um so obviously on Friday we played Stenhouse Weir. Uh so let's first of all go straight into it and uh let's talk about first of all the team. And what were your thoughts on it when you seen it, Gavin Fleming?
SPEAKER_03Quite happy when I when I seen it, Gav. I thought the the changes were quite sensible. We'd we'd had quite a bit of an in-depth conversation about it last week about what the changes might be. And I think Franken got the right mix in retaining some of the more important players at the back and in the middle, but gave obviously change the entire front four, and that that made absolute sense to give some of the uh you know the the the bigger bigger name players, if you like, arrest. And there are the you know the deputies came in and uh sort of vindicated that decision. So no, it was good to see. It was a good use of the squad, a good use of the squad.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I have to agree with that. What about yeah, Dickle?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, uh to be fair, I agree with most of that, to be honest. You obviously you you've got the depth there for a reason. Um you've got to give Williams his his first start, you've got to try Gwendos in that 10 roll, um, to give because you've got to give Braga that that rest. And again, sports for Altena makes sense as well. Um so yeah, I mean I can't argue, can't really argue with most of the most of the changes. It would have been nice we had that big depth call in-depth conversation on last week about it would have been nice to give one of the two a centre mids a rest, but again, you can't have everything unfortunately. So yeah, and it was good to see Harry Will back in the team as well. We talked about deputies and everything else, but it was good to get obviously your vice vice captain back in after a long injury, and obviously your vice captain, he was sitting on the bench as well, uh, with Kingsley returning. So I it was good just to get a couple of these bodies back, um, because we are obviously going to start needing them very soon.
SPEAKER_00I absolutely, especially uh with like the way the fitness has been with the squad in July stuff. So I think we're starting to see like they've getting close to fully fit if not fit, um, especially from like previous games and stuff, eh? Where like we have been using the squad a bit more, uh, depending on who we're playing, obviously.
SPEAKER_03I think a lot of folk weren't were talking about Harry Milne at the start of the season uh as well, lads, and saying that like he obviously wasn't playing that well, but he clearly was struggling with some kind of injury that had maybe kind of trailed over from last season, eh? So hopefully now he is actually back and he is actually fully fit and he's been able to shake off that injury because it was definitely holding him back in the earlier stages of the season.
SPEAKER_00I think as well with Bill Sorry, I was just about to say I think as well with Bill Day, it's like people would get that he was being used in various different positions as well. Even ones that surprised a few folk, you know what I mean? It was almost like a sort of like Macinty number two. He wasn't always played on his favourite uh side on the left, so um that obviously made a difference to him as well, eh? Um so it's interesting to see how uh Rankin's gonna be using him this year, eh? Um especially being back in the injuries that we're having as well. So sorry, what was that, Dickel?
SPEAKER_01What I was gonna say was I don't think he's still fully fit. Um I don't think and that's obviously that's understandable because he has been injured, but he was probably rushed back for the tail ending last season for everything that was meant. And I think that he's obviously come back, he's picked his injury up, and we're obviously working him back to fitness, but I don't think he is fully fit quite yet, and it's match fitness. It does tell, but at the end of the day, he is obviously working his way back. So I mean these things are going to take a little bit of time uh more than anything else uh when it comes to Harry Milne. But it was good to get him back, get minutes under his belt.
SPEAKER_03And a fully fit Harry Milne is obviously a massive, massive asset to the team as well. So I think you're right, you're right there, Andy. Like he's probably only about maybe 60-70% just now, and he'll probably take maybe these next couple of games this week, and then maybe even some more, you know, like a wee mini pre-season, if you like, in the three-week international break, and then possibly come October time, he might actually be kind of fully, fully back to speed, because we all know what a what an excellent player Harry Millen can be, and if he can show the same form this season as he did last season. And Gav's right as well, whether or not he maybe plays in slightly different positions, um, you know, because you can cover you know the right hand side in the middle of the park as well. So, no, that's good. That's good. And Kings King King Kingsley as well, Andy. You mentioned Kingsley coming back. Do you think do you think he's gonna be um he's gonna see some minutes, you know, as we as we come up to these this massive clutch of games?
SPEAKER_01I think he's gonna have to, to be honest. I think that you're at the point where he's either going to play left back or he's the left of the centre of the two centre halves. Like obviously the thing is McCart's actually probably done really well in that position since obviously since the injuries have happened. But I mean, at the start of the season, you're talking about who's going to play there, who can play in this, who can play in this position. Because unfortunately, Finlay in this position looks so stiff. It reminds me of Lutch to the Adams family, just the way that he moves when the way that the way that just the way that we want to play, and it just he just looks so staff with the head.
SPEAKER_03That's been a little bit harsh and lurch, do you not think, no? Does he play with the adult as well?
SPEAKER_01Lutch probably wins more headers, but that's no that's probably not the the the point the point of the whole thing. But like, and then you we would have talked about Kingsley maybe as the left centre half because we think has he still got the pace, has he still got to play at fullbacking um or consistently in fullbacking? I think that we did we were questioning it a little bit, but that was obviously because how well Harry Milne plays. So I mean, I think but we are going to need this. We have got so many games coming up with the league, we've got Europe, we've got obviously this the semi-final coming up as well, and with spoilers just in case anybody was listening to this, would know Friday's result. But um it's it is going to be needed, and especially if Harry Milne is covering other other places, I mean, no, he's jumped too forward ahead, but we have a shortage in the middle of the park, and we're gonna play a game um in Europe in October, and we have one mid available midfielder to play in that game. So we are gonna have to draft in players, whether it be Markinty who is injured, whether it be Altena who's been playing right fullback, or whether it be Harry Moon who plays left fullback, we're gonna have to probably utilise some of these players as well. So it means that Stephen Kingsley has to be fit or ready to play minutes, and he is going to see some of this as well. Then again, Jimmy McCart's also played at left back this season, too. So um, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um, but I think again, I think again, though, Andy, when when when we're talking about it being a squad game, right? Although Kingsley's I'm you know reluctant to say best years behind him as such, right? But he is he is obviously, I think he's the second longest serving Hearts player now. I think we signed him in the championship season back in 2019. So, you know, he's maybe not going to be a first name on the team sheet every single week. But when we get to that, you know, Thursday, Sunday, if Milne isn't maybe able to do it, you know, it it it's still a great replacement that can come in in terms of squad depth, right? For your maybe your your run-of-the-mill like league matches on a Sunday. So we're still in quite a fortunate position that we've got guys with kinds like experience, you know, around the club that we can bring in as a kind of understudy. So it's good that these guys are getting fitter and the squad's looking a little bit healthier. Although I was reading today, I like you say Mack Atee's out tomorrow and Magnuson is seemingly out tomorrow as well because he's got a stomach bug. So I bother, no bother, the centre of the park tomorrow, lads.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, um well that probably brings on to later on as we we go on, but Kennedy, I'll let Kennedy jump back to kicking the reins here.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, so uh coming on to the game, actual game itself. I didn't really see it live, unfortunately, but I watched the highlights earlier, eh? Um, because the pubs I went to weren't showing it, unfortunately, so I just got drunk instead. But um so I ended up just uh watching it obviously again tonight, and I've seen it. Fans were complaining about the first few minutes, Hart's struggling to settle, but I only saw really a few Hart's chances that even though we were like half chances for like Billy was maybe hitting one over or you know what I mean, just hitting it straight up with keeper or stuff.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, firstly, Gav, firstly, right? I just need to take you back a little bit. How did you not do your due diligence correctly, right? And find an establish and have an establishment that was showing premiers.
SPEAKER_00I've always gone to that pub and only go show me football. When I went there, we were showing the bloody snooker and I was fuming, eh? So I was like, for fuck's sake.
SPEAKER_03So I just went to my you speak you speak to the bar manager and you say, Turn the snooker off.
SPEAKER_00The hearts are playing. Those are like Jake's in an A, so I didn't want to like accept the herd, upset the herd by saying, Can I watch both?
SPEAKER_01I'm not having on a Friday night and dumb film where the Jakeys are in the boozer watching the snooker, right? That's not fucking not having that at all. Not having it at all. That is a C minus for the effort there, Kenny.
SPEAKER_00I know, so I I do I do accept that part of it, eh? But I have seen it, obviously. I actually wanted to go to a game, but sadly uh I don't have enough points, so uh that's another story away. So but anyway.
SPEAKER_01Um the next thing I was gonna say, by the way, you're talking about early chance, he's hearts had a chance within 25 seconds when Gwendis puts it over the bar.
SPEAKER_00I'm talking about what I read and lied about fancy it took us a while to settle and stuff like that, eh?
SPEAKER_01And I was like I mean, we did I thought I thought we controlled it quite well, uh to be honest. I would say that the whole within without the whole game, like I thought we we controlled most of the game. I don't know if whatever you were reading, people are wanting us to go out there and smash them for the first second. But I mean if Gwendos probably does score then and within 25 seconds, then that maybe be the game that might have turned into. But I mean they are they are top of the championship for a reason. Don't get me wrong, they're not. I don't try I didn't think they were a good side. I thought that Inverness overall were probably a better side than them and they they probably caused us far more chances, far more problems than than Stenhouse Muir did. But like I wouldn't say that we we we struggled to settle. We took us maybe maybe what you're saying there is it took us a little while to get used to the pitch. The the the way the the plastic patch, and don't get me wrong, we do play on we train on plastic, and as Frank can say, his excuses are for losers, but the pitch wasn't great either, and it took it there was a few a few bobbles in it that it took us a wee while to get used to, but I mean, I don't know, I don't know what you've been reading, Kennedy, to be honest.
SPEAKER_03I don't know, I just like I I'd say just to come in on that, lads. Like I I think there's a there's a bit of both there, actually. I I I do see where where where Gav's coming from there, Andy. I know, I know you were at the game, right? So again, I don't know if it's different when when you're at the game, mate, and it's you know you've got the crowd and you're but just kind of watching it on the t. I I did think hearts were quite sloppy in in the first sort of 20 minutes, but having listened to what you're saying there, I get it. There was a lot of changes. There was guys that had came in that hadn't been playing that regularly. Um, we were on a plastic pitch. Tenhouse Muir were up for it right from the get-go, so they were kind of getting in our faces and making tackles. I did think we were giving it away a little bit too much, but it's just probably a combination of everything that you've mentioned there, Andy. And obviously, when we get the when when when when when Big JJ gets his goal, it was never really in doubt. But the goals came at quite a good time for us, I felt. Because if it had gone on till half time, I could have seen it maybe being a bit of panic patience. But you you sound like you said you sound like you were quite comfortable in the game, Andy, from what you're saying.
SPEAKER_01I thought I I uh for me it was comfortable, it was a case that we were going to score. We had the ball so much, we were we were kind of creating half chances without making the full chance, and I thought that I didn't think that Stenhishmuir offered that much, and they probably weren't going to offer that much because they were going to sit in. And again, we're talking about they are they're a part-time championship team, but I I wasn't I I generally wasn't over overly worried. We had brought in, we'd made changes, we'd brought players that hadn't really played a lot of games together. I mean, Williams was Williams was starting his first game for Hearts. Gwendos hasn't started that much either, and he's playing in a maybe a role that maybe I don't know if it it was his role. And obviously Martel and Corjotta had come in obviously as as the backup wingers. And so you you're you're you're getting there, you get players getting used to playing against each other. I think we did give it away quite a wee bit, but I think the pitch didn't help that at all when it came to the way that you'd maybe expect the ball to react or the pitch to react is what I should say, and in terms of us passing it or taking a touch and it gobbling the way that it didn't go. But I think we adjusted ourselves quite well as the as the game went on, and then we obviously we took control, JJ gets his goal, um, and then obviously he it's a really real torture finish, would you say, uh for his goal.
SPEAKER_00Um and then described it.
SPEAKER_01Um Mattle again the past two Martel as well um was was frightened, how quick he looks as well, um, to get through it. I thought the goal being honest, watching it behind the goals, I thought the goalie could have done a lot better. Um watching when I watched the goalies YouTube because he he has the GoPro in the back of the goals, and you it looks even worse uh than it did at the game. I thought he probably could have done better, but take nothing away for Mattle and the finish uh as well. And yeah, it was just a very comfortable professional first half. Uh for me, um I didn't think there was too much to write home about. We done what we needed to do.
SPEAKER_03We done probably just just just uh a couple of bits there, Andy, because because you mentioned uh uh Gendus and uh Mattel there. Um I'll be honest, I I I think it's I think he played in some of the earlier European games, right? But I think that was the first time that I'd actually had a proper look at at Gendus, as I'm able to kind of like assess like what kind of player he's gonna be. And um there's there's quite there's a lot there's a lot to like from him, right? But there's there's obviously there's there's a little bit that is still work in progress as well. Do you do you think that he is someone like this is for you both, do you think that he's someone that could actually become a mainstay in the team this season? Because you know, we did we did spend quite a bit of money on him. A six-figure fee, apparently. Do we think he starts to get a little bit more game time now? And would it be deserved?
SPEAKER_01I'll jump in, sorry. I think that he probably could get game time. The problem is is that I think that the position that he maybe suits best is the one that Braga plays in. And you're always going to keep the game.
SPEAKER_03Do you think that's his is his best position then, Andy? As a kind of as a as a number 10, yeah, right.
SPEAKER_01I think so. I think that he's the ten. So if you're playing the 10, that's where Bra Braga's playing in the 10. So, like, if unless he wants to play Braga as a nine and then play Gwendos as a ten, then that's fine. But I think that at this point there's so many options to play in that nine, and we have got the point that we that we like to have Braga linking up with a nine, like we did last year as well, where Braga linked up with Shank as a nine and a ten. And I think that that's maybe what he thinks the best way that he can get everything out of Braga because Braga not doesn't really play as your number as maybe your outright nine, the same way that Wilson does, the same way that that Williams looks like he can probably do as well. He likes to Braga gets goals deep, he goes wide. And Gwenders was doing that as well, because he was dropping in to try and get the ball on the touchline, or he was dropping in deep to get the ball in those other places that what Braga does as well. And somebody around me was like, Oh, he doesn't he work as hard as Gwen as Braga does, but I thought he did, I thought he put a really good shift in, and he's got a bit more, he has got a bit more pace about him than he's he's definitely like I know I know it was only Stenhouse Muir, right?
SPEAKER_03But he's he's definitely got talent. He he looks like he's got like a bag of tricks and he's quite he's quite skillful as well, eh? And and I think um when he played that ball through for for battle for for the goal, it's a lovely pass, and it's just with this situation that hearts are in just now, we're not really having many options in the middle of the park. I know he wouldn't maybe be a central midfielder, but I'm just wondering if there's potentially a place for him while we go through this kind of this injury crisis.
SPEAKER_01Well, what he'd done as well, right? And I'm jumping at the second half, Kennedy, is when he brought Danda on, is he took obviously takes Magnus and off, brings Danda on, but he switches it to have Mendy sitting as a six, and he plays Danda and Gwendos' eights. So rather than having one eight and a ten, he plays two eights. So I wonder if there is maybe something that he can he's maybe trying to work on to try and see if he can maybe get a bit of an eight out of Gwendos at the moment. I mean, I wouldn't want to go into a European game against Monaco or Transbornless Poor where Gwendos is my eight. But at the same time, if you can get something out of them at certain points, then absolutely why not? But as with everything that we're talking about tonight, let's caveat with well, we're playing against a part-time championship team. So it's very hard to maybe get a full gasp. And I thought Warrior's done really well, and I would take that in on with him and Mattle, like like you're talking about how quick these players look, but they were playing against part-time championship players. So let's let's give them all the credit for the way that they played on Friday night, but let's not get too worked up yet until we see them against some of the other teams in the league as well.
SPEAKER_03No, that's that's that's that's that's totally under understandable. You've got, like you say, you've got to caveat that with the standard of the opposition that you're playing. Um, but obviously that's maybe the first time that maybe a few folk have actually seen him play like a full game. And just by the way, what about his drop of his shoulder again, dudes, when he was down at the uh the corner flag as well, right? I think he sent the boy, he sent the boy out the ground. That was tremendous. So he's he's definitely got a skill, definitely got a skill. I think he'll do a job. And I just wanted to call out Mattle. We all know he's extremely pacey and he's rapid and he's quick. But yeah, the keeper maybe should have done a little bit better. But he takes the pass, he shows great pace, he's in behind the defender, puts it away well. And I I just Mattel just seems to enjoy what he's doing. You know, into the heart gang, big smile on his face. That's he scored two goals in two League Cup games as well. Again, possibly not a starter. Every single week, right? But he's definitely going to make a contribution, you know. And it's just it's another side of these guys that weren't really featuring last season, being coached and getting minutes and showing that they've actually got something about them. So it's just good to see. It's just really good and encouraging to see.
SPEAKER_01That's what makes a good squad, though, is if you've got players that are fighting for position, so that McPeak and Muller, who are basically our starting winners, they can't rest on any laurels because they've got Curjotta, who we could argue is could be a starting winger as well already, and Mattel jumping at their back, jumping at their heels. So they've they've all got to be playing on their A-game if they all want to play, if they all want to play every week. So I I think that having that is really as good uh is obviously quite good. In regards to pace, obviously, Williams, as I've said, he's taking his goal well. He looks big, he looks strong, and he looks he's quite quick as well. Again, we'll take that caveat. But when you watch for Martell's goal, Williams is charging down the front of the in the front of the picture into the box from the halfway line.
SPEAKER_03So we're all I just just just just to say, And there we're not quite right in Williams off this week, then like we did last week, no mate.
SPEAKER_01I I've generally from the first two games, I don't think that I was unjustifiably watching. It took 15 minutes to get a touch at Eastford Road and didn't look great against Dundee. So like you can understand where where these doubts come from, and especially when you do watch when you're watching some of the other players that we have brought in, you're like, is this going to be another one? But again, he he done really well. Always take the caveat that who we're playing, but he deserves the credit for the for the game that he has. And he obviously, I don't know if Kennedy wants to go into the second half yet, so I will stop.
SPEAKER_00I'm still confused of where we're at because we're talking about Williams and his chances and uh we're just coming midly the first half, mate, to be honest. Uh so it's still uh second half end on we go. So obviously uh it's it's quite comfortable from like the first half, we just sort of continue going. Um I felt we had even two chances before we actually scored the third one. Um was it Williams again that had a couple of chances? And I I think Bendy was tormenting him down the wing, so was Kerjotta um with a couple of like uh sort of like runs and stuff. So that's really refreshing to see, like you're saying people didn't get a look in last year, actually getting a chance this year. Like I think Kojotta's gonna be a different player this year. Um it's really refreshing to see. Um and that's really good for a squad like A, as you say, because it just means that it's gonna mean that Miller and McMake are gonna have to always be narrage away. So aye. Um but yeah, as I was saying about mid uh volume Z, I think uh he does look I'm not sure if he looks strong yet, but he certainly looks capable, I feel, and what he can do. He just needs a right ball guided to him. I think he's one of his players that won't go looking for a ball. But if he gets that at his feet, he'll trouble defences. That's the type of player I sort of see in him. Uh it's not like a brag away, you'll go running right to the right or left uh to try and get up with a ball and crit across it and stuff. I don't think Williams is that type of player, but he's just uh he's just a big poaching unit. I think it's the best way to describe him, to be honest. Especially when he took his finishing in the first half, but uh to his obviously the second. Um Mr. Jan Danda makes an appearance from absolute nowhere and uh gets substituted for bags. And uh you want to go through the goal, Gar Fleming?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, exactly. So talking about JJ Williams, right? Williams is obviously quite heavily involved in uh the third goal because they um he gets the assessed obviously with a header, right? He heads it back across goal for Dandar. And Dandar couldn't really miss, but you've you've got really putting away, so it's great for him. But if you go back to just prior to that, Williams finds the ball in uh the middle of the test, and it actually shows really, really good control. Take a really nice touch. He's got about two or three men around them, and it shows some really nice skills, right? And it goes across to the white player, and then they go on before it all comes back out. And then go on the day, right to head across gold. So you know, again, just talking about young. I think what we've got there is a guy that really got ability. I think a difference to a motionplace, for example, is a totally uh different place. Obviously, what it is for got a thing castle, I think it's more super to leave in the summary, but probably would it be away. Uh, folk are interested, but they don't want to go there. It's fine, that's right. It was good management by uh Frankenstein, you know, it's obviously okay for an athlete on the back ahead of people like um, ahead of people who like Kabangu or Baki, who weren't even in the squad. So Dandar's work ethic is obviously still quite good. And Frankens thought, right, well, we're winning 2-0. If I can't give you some game time now, why not? He's come on, he's taken his chance, he's scored a goal. And yeah, it's not like he's he's maybe not going to be a regular, but it might it gives him a bit of confidence and um he might just get some minutes with all the games that we've got now up until Christmas. So no, well done at Yandanda. It was uh it was a nice little cameo, it was a nice week cameo for him.
SPEAKER_01Well, I I would say that you have to play, he's got to be on the bench because you can't put Kibang or Basi on the bench when you you've only got two centre centre midfielders in the club. So I think that you have. I mean, we we he did come on against um Inverness, he played a few minutes there already. Um but I wonder at what point I know that Falkirk were interested and he he rejected that, but I wonder at what point you probably thought maybe we should um maybe shouldn't let him go quite yet because we might we might have needed him. Obviously, we ran over getting injured and obviously the transfer deadline was shut before Spittle actually got his injury as well.
SPEAKER_02So aye, it's uh it's a tough one, but it got quite quite well when he came on.
SPEAKER_01He got the ball at his feet, he was passing it quite well. The only thing is that I don't know how physical he can be in that sense. He looked so small compared to some of these toils, but in a minute, obviously.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I don't know what's happening, mate.
SPEAKER_01That's nice, yeah. Right. Um can you hear me?
SPEAKER_00Hear you better now, uh what was the last anyway?
SPEAKER_01Absolute. What was the last bit you heard me yabbering on there?
SPEAKER_00Uh it was about uh trying to get the right move and uh yadda, was it was right.
SPEAKER_01So what I was saying was is that when he came on, I thought he'd done well, he was passing the ball quite well. Um the only thing is I don't know how physical he actually can be in the Harts midfield because he looks tiny uh in in that position, but I thought he passed it really well. Um I would say that he's going to feature now, he's probably going to feature today as this goes out against Paul Kirk. He's probably going to be in the bench if Magnuson's fit for Kilmarnik as well. And from what I've seen, I don't I think we could probably do with that, do with that we as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rewriting history on how amazing Yan Danda is or how he he should have been playing for Hearts this whole time. But I think that there probably is a space for him up until at least up until Christmas. We have a point where we have one centre midfielder that's fit for Europe. We're going to have to make a decision quite soon on regards to are we able to hold out for Blair Spittle to get fit for the European games? Is Aju the one that's going to is he going to come back and not break down? Or are we going to replace Spittleway with Dander at some point? Because we can replace, we can replace an injured player that's going to be out for more than 90 days, which is Spittle with a player that's already at the club. So it can be, if we don't think that Spittle is going to make it, we can take him out and put in Aiju or Dander to cover that and give ourselves a wee bit of cover. So it's something that we are going to do. As long as the midfielders already at the club. We could replace them with Kibangu or Basi as well, but we're not going to we need a centre midfielder. So it's between the two, really, on who can come into the club and who can play in that position.
SPEAKER_03And or Spittle and Renault, you're probably looking at till Christmas, eh? So I'd I'd imagine the plan would most likely be that Aju would be the uh the sensible replacement then if he can get back and he can get fit.
SPEAKER_01Well, Spittle's Spittle's December, Renault's January is when they're saying that these boys are going to be back. So yes, I think that that's a decision we are going to have to make soon, um, in regards to what we think um and what's going to help us in the meantime. But I think they're waiting from what I what I'd imagine, we're probably waiting on Aizu and seeing how fit he's going to be, and what's the sort of is he going to how how quickly is he going to break down um if we want to put him back in, basically.
SPEAKER_03Um, so that's I know I know I was going on about it last week. I I still think we need to be considering the free agent market. Yeah, I just think with like I had I was having a look at the fixtures right earlier on in the the fixtures through October.
