Goodwin learning fast that mcinnes tactics are shit. And the fans don’t like it. Fuck off.

Ha. You wrote my post!

Morris????

I’d chuck ramirez on in 10 mins is miovski doesn’t sharpen up. Give Ramirez decent time.

Nice free kick and 1-1 at half is about fair. Some decent stuff at times, but as I already mentioned, a huge hole in midfield crying out for a center mid. We're playing a bit like kids. Lots of huff and puff and silly fouls. Will be surprised if we finish with 11.

Ramdani should have scored. Ugh. 100 miles an hour stuff, no real composure in midfield. Clarkson and Barron don't work as a pair, we must get a central midfielder who can pull the strings. To be honest I don't think we get nearly enough from Barron. It's not bad though, but it's a lot of huff and puff but still limited in the final ball and quality..

You know your football so I assume you are meaning the Brazilian box midfield there with width from fullbacks Cafu Kennedy and Roberto Carlos coulson? I think mccrorie has an influence in games in midfield so I’d play him there, but I still don’t see Goodwin dropping miovski. 2-1 us, duk and mccrorie.

Richardson is certainly the target of many, but I don’t think he’s as bad as people say. Then again I don’t nearly see us play as much as you all do, but he’s also a young guy that can be developed. My issue is we have a large squad and Richardson, mccrorie, even Kennedy can play right back or wing back. If our midfield is better there’s less pressure on the defense, a better midfield results in a stronger defense. We have no central midfield depth, or competition for places. No experienced/influential presence. We’re much more direct/long ball as the season has progressed, we need a midfielder running the show. Ramadani is purely defensive and we’re relying on two young kids. That’s not good enough for us IMHO and our increased directness is a product of a weak midfield.

After watching that shite today it reminds me how much we desperately need a central midfielder. Barron and clarkson aren’t the combo, it has to be one of them and a more experienced head. While today was extreme we went 8 at the back and 2 up top for the most part, bypassing midfield and going long. Definitely a hard position to fill but a Jim Bett type that will run a game from midfield. We lack that player/experience/leadership. All the noise we’ve heard is defensive signing focus in this windows but we have a large squad with a number of players who can play wing back or right back, we really lack any sort of depth in center mid.

It was a 100% mcinnes tactical performances when we hold on as long as we can but eventually lose the goal. While it hurts to lose a goal so late it’s totally what we deserved. We didn’t try to win, don’t recall us having a shot, and it was 2 up top with 8 defenders for most of the game. 1 and 9 when miovski went off.

We gave them 80% possession for the game and they had 33 shots. It took us a month of prep to play like that!?! Defensively we didn’t look too bad but now scales comes in during the week so it’s now change. Plus let’s be honest, Celtic did miss a few chances and 4-0 wouldn’t have been unfair.

Harsh. He’s a good player. No point in playing him today if this is our tactics, not the game for him at all.

What a horrible game to watch. Hang on for 90 mins and hope. Thought being done with DM meant we’d not see this shit. I don’t expect us to out play them but this ffs.

Well this is shit. It’s just a matter of when.

Anyone know if the club shop is the only place I can buy this years strip? Looking for a home top in large and seems like they’ve been sold out for a while.

Belter of a goal, long corner played out to the edge of the box, cracker of a volley from clarkson.

Critical I know, but says a lot about the competition when Matty Kennedy looks our best player. Morris is such a panic buy, yet to see anything from him this season that suggests he’s good enough for us.

Pretty dire stuff. Playing Atlanta B and youth players and their keeper hasn’t had a save.

But do we need a right back since we seem to be a 3-5-2 team now?? Don’t we have bigger priorities? We have an abundance of wing backs/wingers at the club…..although most are shit to be fair.

Be an interesting window, although we have to remember it’s not summer and winter is a tough market. Little may happen. I think any offers for miovski have to be considered with two things in mind, christian Ramirez and formation. I rate miovski highly but a 4-5 mill offer or more we snap that up. If we play 3-5-2 with Ramirez up front with Duk I think christian could do very well. Different type of player to miovski but still a very good one (if he wants to be here.) It’s funny, miovski seems a polished established player while we see duk as young raw talent, but they’re not far off the same age. Can see duk with us for longer, I think being fair, miovski is a step above us. I think getting coulson has to be a window priority, do early business. Pre contract or permanent now. He’s not been at his best of late but I believe thats injury related. He’s quality. Hopefully the World Cup break gives him time for full fitness. Can play left back, wing back, or left mid, given we’re not certain of formation I think he’s a good long term signing. Same for scales, would like us to pick him up, the noise around him has quietened, maybe we can get him permanently. Doubt that though. That then leads to the left central defender problem again. another right central defender is a must. Back 3 or 4, I think mccrorie has to be in midfield. Don’t see Stewart being benched, think he’s the middle of a 3 in goodwin’s eyes. If we go 4 at the back though with this signing added then Stewart isn’t 100% guaranteed to play every minute and competition for playing time is good. Don’t see the point in another right back if we’re committed to 3-5-2. We’ve got too many players, Richardson, Kennedy, Morris, mccrorie, Vinny, Roberts, Watkins etc can all play right, even McLennan if he returns, we need to offload. To be honest, would like to see us shed one or two of these first. a midfield 3 of ramadani barron and clarkson isn’t working in my eyes. As a result we bypass them too much and go long. It’s ramadani mccrorie and one more. To be honest I’d like the third to be clarkson short term then Ronan picked up now or summer. Ronan in clarkson’s place ASAP, we need that flair. Barron and clarkson aren’t a good combo and as I have, other too, think if punting Barron to Celtic to get scales is on, we do that. So, coulson and scales permanently, right central defender, and Ronan. That’s the winter business. If we can punt Kennedy, McLennan, Watkins, even Morris, then a right wing back/winger too.

Ooft, that’s another good goal. Hopefully there’s truth to the juve rumor. Anyone know the sell on clause?? congrats to the boy, good to see him doing well.

Just hope duk’s miss on half time doesn’t hurt us….. Need a second.

Interesting sub........

None of the 3 are given without VAR.

Facking VAR farce again.......
