I'm really intrigued by some takes in this thread Re Ridenton.. Thought he was really forward thinking in the final 15 and shifted the ball quickly and with purpose. I was actually quite disappointed with Rufer/Devlin in that last third. Really slowed the play down and tented to go backward or sideways rather than forwards. Really hope we get behind Ridenton this year and he doesn't turn into a scapegoat like Sotirio tends to be on here... 

Agreed. Thought he did very well for the short time he was on, and more creative/attacking than I remembered him.

I also agree on Ridenton.  However, the positive look of him was all very well with the short time he had on the pitch. In the past my only criticism of him (when he played with us under Ernie) was that he floated in and out of the game a bit. Once he plays a full game it will be easier for us to assess his progress as a player.

I also agree on Ridenton.  However, the positive look of him could be partially due to the short time on the pitch. My only criticism of him when he played with us under Ernie was that he floated in and out of the game a bit (not sure if he did that at The Jets).  I am sure Uffie would have noticed that so clearly not an issue to him.
