What do I know. Lobban resting is understandable, I assume topi at left wingback?? Not surprised nisbet starts, would love to see him more lively and have a good game.

Three points today and I see that as us officially caught up and in a battle for third and fourth place. As is said every week, not really sure what to expect. We’ve had some really shit performances and won, killie and st mirren away being perfect examples, but we’ve also had let downs at home, draws to Motherwell and st mirren. We also haven’t lost in a while and do we have a Thursday hangover. don’t care about killie’s form, it’s all on us. Would love to see another Dundee home performance, we’re due a good home win, but I’m also a little concerned how much Thursday took out of us. Expect polvara back, topi and lazetic were given an hour Thursday so think they’ll start. Would not be surprised to see shinnie start ahead of Armstrong. Not sure if adil is due a rest but he’s the form midfielder at the moment, and is young, hope he gets the start. If not, wouldn’t mind a rare start for Clarkson, but also wonder if we see two up top with nisbet at 10 ahead of shinnie and polvara. 3-1 us, karlsson lazetic nisbet

I think polvara has done enough in recent weeks to move ahead of palaversa in the playing order, plus shinnie Armstrong and adil are too. Saying that, I’m not fussed if polvara doesn’t renew his contract. Was actually surprised we jumped so quickly to extend palaversa’s contract, but I’d certainly cash in palaversa and clarkson asap, they are prob the (only) two we have who would bring in some reasonable money. really neeed to invest in legit center mids, obviously three oldies, and still not convinced adil is worth 1.5m.
-
Think he’s scored more than Ronan hale this season!
-
Super player. Not saying better or worse, much like James McFadden, type of player Scotland (and Aberdeen) are badly missing at present. For Scotland maybe doak will have that type of presence but an absolute joy to watch. Expected adil to be the Jess type.

A real fan would still have that poster on his wall. Please say it is so.

Sure! Ambrose hat trick on Sunday and I’ll by your flight and game ticket too!

I know I’m definitely in the minority but I just didn’t get it with considine. Fans favorite, die hard don etc, but he was a liability quite often to me. He was an all or nothing guy, definitely committed to the cause, and had to over commit because of his lack of pace. made so many mistakes. he always came across as a really nice guy and sounded(s) quite intelligent, but I always thought he was a very low IQ player who gave away so many unnecessary fouls and penalties. He was a typical low IQ footballer who dove in/got stuck in and tackled/fouled when quite often he didn’t need to and should have been smarter. as for reynolds, class. Tobers reminds me of devlin, looks good but maybe not the most mobile/athletic. And injuries.
-
Interesting to note that of the entire bench only gymafi shinnie and milanovic actually have naturally played wide. Shinnie isn’t really capable of being a wide midfielder and the other two, especially milanovic, have so far shown that they need to be punted. Very poor squad, especially when you add that in a bench of 12 we only had two forwards, one being yengi.
-
Bring back the original 3, to be generous make the European cup for top 2. Make football interesting again! to me it’s been 6 European friendlies, obviously want us to do well but no great appeal. If anything I’d prefer we used the squad and kept key players fresh for the league, obviously an ass backwards approach.
-
Peak Lewis was up there with leighton and snelders, cracking keeper. Want!!!
-
Anyone got any feedback on kjarten, bilalovic, and frame? Are they any good?? Not just tonight, I’ve heard so little of their performances season to date.
-
Didn’t realize Zac Vyner was a team mate of Ross McCrorie at Bristol City. Don’t remember much about him while he was at us, would take McCrorie back in a heartbeat, a shinnie devlin type.
-
Jumped the gun after reluctantly reading the daily record notes of the AGM. Sounds like we may lose/get rid of players and existing squad players pick up their minutes. Plus sounds like some are now ready for mins. If that’s the case wouldn’t mind seeing Marshall and kjarten getting the very limited minutes of clarkson/palaversa/sivert, plus a legit cm signed. Not saying we should get rid of clarkson, but sounds like he’s going. With Armstrong aouchiche Polvara shinnie and a legit cm signed, plus Marshall and kjarten, that’s certainly plenty of cm’s. wouldn’t mind milanovic going on loan and belalovic getting his minutes. Give a loan to gyamfi) or sell) and his minutes to frame, with shinnie and Jensen capable short term left back options until we sign a legit one.
-
Perhaps it’s simply relative. Summer was 12 or 13 I think. 2-3 perhaps? I think 4 is the minimum. CM, a winger, a forward, and possibly a central defender. Would like a left back if frame isn’t ready for minutes. would like to see vinnie, yengi, Ambrose, nilsen gone, milanovic or belalovic, kjarten, and gyamfi out on loan.

THE OFFICIAL: "LET'S ALL LAUGH AT HEARTS"
OrlandoDon replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Football Chat
Is no left turns something to do with our inverted wingers? -
So aouchiche is 1.5m. Unlikely we’re doing that. Given he’s out of contract, prob 500 for Watson? Obviously there’s competition but I’d really hope we try for this guy. Seems a legit Scottish up and comer and we’ve missed out on those of late, Bowie, mulligan, Cameron for example.
-
Any best of the rest realistic transfers out there? Agree on a Clarkson replacement, no point in replacing like with like if it’s not the system Thelin will play. At the same time, having a winger or two that can take a defender on the outside is essential if you ask me. what kind of CM is David Watson?? A Ferguson, Rama type??
-
I’ve coached a ton of Haitians in Florida, travel ban won’t affect things, they’ll have fans. But certainly not as popular as Brazil and a lesser extent Morocco. Was actually hoping for that one to be played in Miami.
-
Na. Too old for our player trading. We still have Ryan Duncan anyway.
-
So how do you boys get tickets? Will try for the Brazil game, only a 4 hr drive. ticket lottery opens up December 15.
-
Early Xmas request. We did well getting the likes of Rooney McLean Hayes shinnie, to a lesser extent Ferguson, the best of the rest. Maswanhise Longelo Congreve and Watson would be great additions, obviously tough to get but I can hope. Upgrade on gyamfi milanovic palaversa and yengi please!
-
Rated Congreve yesterday. Welsh u21 international under contract with Swansea until 2028 unfortunately. Young lad who would fit our player trading model. Maybe loan with option to buy if they don’t sell immediately??
-
Left back Longelo scored for Motherwell again today. He’d be a great addition.
