Did anyone watch this game? How did he fare?

Seems to have got a good assist. Think we've nabbed a real gem in O'Neil, not sure how Graham gets back into the team assuming we play inverted wingers next season.

Rudi Vata's son in the Ireland side, assume there's a greater connection than his Da playing for Celtic.

Nice problem to have. I'm sure Graham played on both wings in his handful of games for us?

(Galbraith is the gem, though. Someone has been banging on here for a while about how good he is, last night I saw it).

Albanian 90s cult hero, obviously never played as Celtic on CM2.

He was generally playing as a right wing back as he only got fit enough to start once the formation switch happened. Don't doubt he can do both, more that we look best when we players on the wings cutting in. But with Theo's injury, he might slot in there (even if I suspect Agyei will be playing as our first choice in that position next season).

Controversial. Agyei has all the attributes to be the perfect lone front man, I just can't see him being stuck out wide.

I'm basing that off of Wellens wanting a new striker who we'll presumably sign on a first teamers wages provided we get rid of Piggott. I can't see us bringing another winger and Theo is out, so we don't have a left footer occupying that position. Ideal solution would be Forde coming back for another season.

I think Agyei would be much more effective with someone alongside him - a foil.

80s culture and fashion has seen a huge revival in recent times - why not bring back footballing tactics from that era.

Would like to see it, especially with the two up front partnerships....Bullock and Fairbrother, Kitchen and Mayo, even Griffiths and Richards..

You might as well be asking for the m-w formation to come back.

A front 4 of

---------------Agyei--------------
O'Neill----Galbraith----Graham

with another striker, Theo, plus Forde's replacement as back up is immense. Possibly another 10 if we can offload Moncs and Piggot.

He's got an Irish granny apparently. Don't know if the international football authorities still don't bother checking whether this actually true or not

Yes, maybe they were together more, and although you say that Richards was dog excrement he was a dangerous foil for a short period of time.

Need way more than that to give depth as Graham is a real unknown whether he'll come back as before and stay injury free

2 x winger (Forde replacement and loan temp until Theo back)
2 x striker (Drinan and Pigott replacements)

Potentially one or two more if Moncur and Sotiriou aren't here next season...
