...... has scored more goals in the last 2 games, than Drinan has in the last season and a half.

Fully agree re my post “ ratings “

Has had a hand in our last 5 goals, that have effectively sealed promotion. Not to forget his 2 assists at Grimsby.

And is joint 2nd Top scorer with George "the belly" Moncur . 8 goals .

Hope Drizzy starts the last 6 & scores in every game , Rebel Rebel .

Why is that Tuffs, the Rebel couldn't hit a barn door from inside the barn. I'll take your last post as a WUM.

Yes but that won’t happen . We’ve got to keep Ruel CF for the rest of the season . He’s our only proper striker.

Totally agree, Ruel looks far more dangerous than either Kelman or Drizzle
Hope RW can see that

Awful footballer but effective, that's a compliment by the way

Ruel only seems to play well and score when his contract is nearly up. Perhaps next season we put him on a monthly contract

Not sure if its coaching or attitude has changed but his decision making is suddenly so much better, when to take people on and when to play someone else in.

You were saying the same thing, more or less, about Kelman when he first came here. But that all fizzled out somewhat,
so now youve turned to Sotiriou. Drinan as we all know has not been the same since his injury. But as we also know that doesn't wash with you anyway. Ruel, I've always liked because he is an out and out (goal in his sights) goalscorer. He hasn't got parts of the game that Drinan has. But in turn, Drinan hasn't got parts of the game that Sotiriou has because he is not an out and out goal poacher, never was. But of course you do not want to acknowledge this fact because you want to continue your hatred for the man. Two players, two completely different footballers. Sotiriou is in the line up for the main purpose only, of scoring goals. Drinan isn't.
I also rest my case.

Smyth walked off with Ruel telling him at ht , about getting to the near or back post, he wasted those 2 sublime square balls by Smyth 1st half .

He has started squaring the ball for teammates recently where in the past he'd greedily go alone from a narrow angle. The Moncur goal on Saturday a good case in point.

The challenge for Ruel is to perform consistently, not just for half a dozen games at the end of each season.
