I’d assume. I think we keep Morris and topi, vinnie, gueye, and okkels can move on. Morris and topi are young and growing, far from the finished product. Not having a dig at Connor, but anyone whom is not clearly better than Connor mclennan should not be here. We realized that standard for not being good enough and have replaced with mediocre. Add this guy is great, need one more legit winger after that (provided we punt the other 3.)

Pretty sure the program had a virus when it shot out Ambrose.

We signed mcgarry then lost out on the young winger last summer so clearly scout that market. Sounds like our kind of player at the moment, young up and comer with legit sell on potential, can play more than one position. Left/right footed?? appealing by the sound of things, hoping we also look at a couple of senior pros as we lack legit experience, plus as we’ve already mentioned, some Scots.

Can they put out a statement saying Shankland should have been booked for his stamp/foul/late challenge on palaversa? You win some you lose some! -
Polvara offers something different, dare I say a lampard type who will get forward and get some goals too. He just doesn’t naturally fit into the current system. He’s not a deep lying Clarkson sivert or palaversa, and not really a number 10. You’d almost need to play one holding and two attacking mids with no 10 to accommodate polvara. Maybe Clarkson and polvara ahead of sivert?

Ha, I wouldn’t go that far! Hayes and mcginn were in their mid 20s and proven players, and close to the two best wingers in the league, topi and morris still young and inconsistent. But both have shown enough to stay, and that’s a reversal of opinion on Morris for me. He’s so quick and learning how to use his pace, whereas topi has pace and physicality and is suited to our league. Given their youth, I’d like us to sign a legit proven winger and it’s two from those three weekly. we have a very bloated squad of average players, a bunch need to be moved on and a good few coming in this summer. -

I’m one who thinks sokler is better than dabbagh, surprised he didn’t make the squad yesterday. Dabbagh given the nod as were deciding whether to make the loan permanent? Despite the goal, much like okkels, don’t think he’s good enough for us long term. surprised nobody said anything about nisbet yesterday, virtually non existent. Shankland has had a poor season but got his goal. Other than the shot from the free kick, don’t recall much, barely touched the ball. this summer we need to sign a 9, a 10, and a left/right winger. Gueye and okkels aren’t the answer, one bad game for nisbet, but he’s not great either. -
Celtic are pish! We’ll easily take down st Johnstown in the final!

Polvara is a very technical and elegant player. I rate him and think he’ll do well in MLS, or another league. I also think he’ll show well for us playing in our European games. I just don’t think he’s suited to Scottish football. He’s not really physical, a battler, or a grafter, and is probably too nice at times. Lovely touch and in a game like yesterday where it’s a big field and we’re a man up he should stand out. (Palaversa on the other hand has bite and a bit of dirtiness to him at times.)

Already been said, Jensen seems to be an unfair target. Boy has come in and done very well for us, and puts in a shift without hiding every single game. Is it because he’s benched devlin? Cammy devlin red, second booking is fair. Pretty much sour grapes if you ask me. I also questioned why knoester was booked during the square up as the foul was no yellow. Could have gone earlier. Shankland should also have been booked for being late on palaversa. You win some lose some. -

I’m putting that down to mostly inexperience. We’re relying on players who are up and comers, and who are inconsistent. Morris, topi, Jensen, Clarkson, dorrington, Milne, even Boyd are young lads. Palaversa, knoester, dabbagh, papa, polvara, okkels not regular starters career to date and maybe never played in semis or finals at this type of level. Mitov and McGrath back from injury and prob not 100%. Nisbet while on form is limited. We expect a lot from our right and left back. Shinnie is the only senior ‘experienced’ pro, maybe nisbet. But it’s a nervy semi from an inconsistent team. We dominated the game, didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot, and found a way to win. Over the peace, good enough for me today! -

Will add, he’s not everyone’s favorite but Jensen is one fit fucker. Works so hard, plus the sprint to overlap on the counter in extra time. Every excuse to rest and he sprints to support instead. Shinnie too, what a shift for an old man. -

Job done. Not great but a win is a win. Said it already, we are a young inexperienced team and it shows. no stand outs but I do want to say it’s nice to see polvara play, hope he gets more minutes. -

He’s pushing inside a lot to try to get Morris more space. -

We need to make changes. It’s not working. Far too slow and too much sideways. -

Also devlin for Jensen. Jensen isn’t back but I think devlin offers more in attack and is more of a scoring threat. Something more for them to worry about and maybe get Morris more space too. -

I’d be inclined to put McGrath at 10 for gueye. We lack creativity and threat centrally. This will give topi and Morris space too if they have to squeeze central space. -

We don’t need 11 back, leave a man up ffs! -

Guess I’m the only one not at the game!! Huge chance against 10, let’s fucking take it to them!!! Be brave! Basically opposite of last week, maybe last weeks experience helps us?? -

Will add that I don’t think we’ve been very good, need to start the second half much better, poor start to the first. Take the game to hearts. We just dont have confidence or swagger, we see that. Need to go at them and clearly show we want to win. They don’t look great at the back, get topi and morris involved, and gueye and nisbet will get chances. -

Well, interesting. Hearts the better team, we score against the run of the play, poor goal to lose, now playing against 10. Same as last week, we look young and inexperienced. We need an experienced head in the middle of the park, and not shinnie, game for sivert. no clue how this goes, open game. Need Morris and topi more involved as their pace will cause more problems. -
Yeah. We score and almost get stage fright, instead of kicking on. I honestly think we could have got a third before half time instead of letting them push on and score, even though disallowed.
-
Maybe an excuse too but perhaps a lack of experience there. Lots of young players. See the game out. Fucking annoyed!!!
-
And too early. Yes I’ve been a critic but another game I feel morris goes off too early, arguably topi too. Thought okkels was decent but subs were not overly helpful. Sokler did nothing, dabbagh poor.
