  1. It’s not just some league performances. It wrecked our entire season last time and we’re in the middle of a squad overhaul. Like I said, it’s ’part Of me,’ don’t know which is better but having the time to work on things and implement players rather than playing 3 games a week for the first 3-4 months isn’t bad, tough call.
  2. Morris cannot start, he’s been awful every time he does. He’s only effective when he’s fresh and opponents are tiring. He’s a bench player at best for us. Okkels and gueye proving they don’t have the stones for Scottish football. Don’t think either think fast enough and the intensity of them doesn’t suit. Not saying topi is strong, but you see the intensity from him and he suits Scottish football. we’re crying out for an attacking central midfielder. They suck players in which give our wide guys time and space to get out and up. A forward dropping isn’t the same thing. Thought gueye could be that guy but he’s not. agree re shinnie, we appear to be a better team with him in our 11.
  3. 5 subs made after an hour. Says it all.
  4. Part of me doesn’t care if we don’t make Europe. A couple of seasons to completely gut the squad and start again. Obviously we have financially invested in the squad and need the European return, but Europe will really challenge a squad. im ok giving gueye and okkels time to show they most likely aren’t good enough, much like Morris has been given time to show he can’t start, helps us gut the squad and there’s currently no better player to start for them. the run early season gave us hope/expectation, but we’re a team in the middle of a squad overhaul, far from complete. I’m disappointed in clarkson, though he’d be our main man at 10 and he hasn’t kicked on.
  5. Ffs, 2 down, although 3 goals all from crosses. we are so fucking bad defending crosses. Brutal. Up top zero shots on goal. Not the way to win games.
  6. Would be nice to get a chance and a shot. Painful in attack.
  7. Id be tempted to bring dabbagh on asap, gueye doing little and nisbet looks up for it. Nisbet also drops, play dabbagh up on the last man.
  8. Very little so far from topi gueye and okkels, hard to attack if these three don’t bring much.
  9. As much a hope as any but 9 more league games to play, can’t see hibs sustaining it for the remainder of the season. Their next two are Celtic away in the cup then killie away, two good games to derail their season.
  10. It’s our best 11, with the exception of devlin/jensen which may be debatable. We also don’t know enough about dabbagh yet and nisbet has found a little form. Glad we stuck with gueye at 10 and okkels wide. The endless chopping and changing of recent weeks/months didn’t help us. I also want okkels given an extended run to get match sharp after months not playing, really want to be sure of investing 1M or sending him home. COYR!
  11. But do they pull a killie or kick on? Great to see the temporary management bringing stability!
  12. Na, said already, go nisbet and dabbagh and be more direct, which we would do anyway. They don’t know dabbagh so gives them something to think about. 3-0 us, dabbaghx3
  13. You stole my post. He’s had good games but not consistent enough. He’s a true 10 but we stuck him left mid and that’s not his position moving forward. We have gueye Clarkson polvara and McGrath all pretty much competing for a similar position and none are an obvious starter. I also question his mental toughness, the penalty miss seemed to damage him. Losing McGrath is no biggie and the 10 is the position I was hoping we upgrade in the summer anyway. seems a decent lad, good luck to him.
  14. I don’t hate mcinnes at all. He’d love that job but I just don’t think their fans would want him. And I ultimately don’t think he can take them further. He’s a typical Scottish manager. While I say he’d love it, I don’t know if he has the stones to take it, very hard job given the finances and expectation of competing with Celtic.
  15. For once I’d like mcinnes to get the job. He was a good manager for us but predictable and limited. He’d also be a underwhelming signing for their fans and I don’t think they’d fully support him. Would love to see him at the Huns, I just don’t think he’s capable of the next level. Would give us a good run for 2nd……and I say that after reading Celtic got 26 million from champions league. We just can’t compete with that.
  16. Free hit here, with utd hearts hibs and st mirren playing each other, lose to Celtic and its not a disaster. Hoping utd draw or lose. im assuming devlin will be out but shinnie at left back isn’t a disaster if Mackenzie misses too. Eager to see how our defense does here, plus id be inclined to start both nisbet and dabbagh, benching gueye. Be a bit more direct and let’s see what our new star striker can do. heart over head as always, 1-1. Bojan.
  17. Agent Clement finally coming good!
  18. Closing the gap on 2nd. COYR!
  19. Thought Jensen had a good game, didn’t get beaten much 1v1, is being more physical, and consistent/reliable. Didn’t see many errors.
  20. Dare I say we look like early season dons?
  21. Welcome back bojan!!!
  22. Turned into a very stop start ugly scrap. Need to get it down and play.
  23. Shinnie to left back and Jensen back right??
  24. Clarkson and dabbagh asap please, it’s not working. Give them 30 mins to have an impact.
