Let's hope he doesn't play too well against Peterborough, the transfer window hasn't shut yet...

Started off raw, running round like a demented meerkat pointing at where he wanted the ball, but within ten minutes figured out the speed and style of the game which was mega impressive to see. From headless chicken to league one footballer in ten minutes was a promising debut. I regret to say that he is going to have to learn to "go down" a little more when pressured by opponents. Otherwise I like him. Hope he settles.

He hit the ground running and was never a headless chicken. As others have said - the best debut for a new player we've seen in years.

Cheers for the welcome.

DNblade – Aye we have a few decent players coming through. We’re generally shafted when it comes to finances so put a heavy reliance on the youth side of things. Over the years we’ve cranked out a good number of players who have moved on to bigger and better things (Snoddy, Dorrans, Griffiths, Haliday etc), but also had mental chairmen who sold them for sweeties or cancelled any future clauses we might have profited from, so continue to be shafted financially. It's a never ending process. Anyway yeah McNulty and Donaldson are both highly rated and look likely to move on as well. On that point, McNulty keeps getting tipped with a move to ‘The Rangers’, you might not have heard of them, brand new club that joined the lowest tier of Scottish football recently (figure I can get away with this chat here), anyway he’s far better than them, so if you need a wee striker who has a knack of banging in goals then might be worth a punt. Really anything to stop him moving to Glasgow.

Itsinyerblood – He’s had a good few years of Scottish lower league players kicking lumps out of him so he should be used to it by now. You’re right about his ability to challenge in the air, but if you can keep the ball on the deck he’ll do well for you. As has been said here, he’s two footed has an eye for a pass and is used to controlling a midfield.

Thought he looked very useful. I thought a better debutant showed up at RB though. Happy days!

Totally agree - Brayford looked top dollar from the off - wait until he gets 'match fit' !

Yeah I noticed Rangers have been after McNulty an Donaldson off to QPR..or at least linked.
Didn't Wes Hoolahan start at Livi..not done badly down here either,and similar build to Scougall.I think Cloughie was in for McNulty when at Derby,but couldn't get a deal done in time.

True, but Brayford has been around for a few years and is a known quantity. Scougall is a young kid and relatively unknown south of the border. If he stays grounded and continues to perform the way he did yesterday I'm sure he will quickly become a firm favourite with the fans.

Can't really claim credit for Hoolahan, he did play for us, but didn't come through our youth set up. Was only with us for a year roughly.

Forgot about McNulty being linked with Derby, think he went on trial there for a bit.
