McGrath okkels and gueye off please, topi polvara and morris needed. penalty utd.

Nisbet scores a second and it’s a different game, instead 1-1. After 30 mins the game changed and we didn’t adapt.

And 1-1, momentum all them.

The spark/liveliness has gone. Pretty much all utd now. Subs needed.

Utd will score from a cross, giving them too many ffs.

Nisbet has to score! Good play from Clarkson.

Gueye just can’t keep the ball!!!! Sub!

OOft. Should be 1-1.

Following up on my own gueye comment, he’s been shit the last 15 and a liability, can’t keep the ball, complains, the odd foul etc. much like Morris, why him coming off the bench is prob better. clarkson and palaversa are our best central midfield combo, both a tidy first half. Need that 10 ahead of them who can get on the ball. No reason to sub yet, but Morris for McGrath and dabbagh for gueye allowing nisbet to drop is prob our best option. I’d still prefer polvara to take the 10 behind nisbet but JT doesn’t like that and hasn’t tried it. Topi for okkels as JT likes to freshen up the wingers.

Agree, much of his responsibility is cutting inside and letting Jensen push on. don’t agree with Gordon, while the first 30-35 were good we’ve allowed utd to come back into it. We also look poor from throws and crosses as usual, they haven’t scored but they are getting their heads on it and at this rate a goal will come if we don’t win those duels.

Not sure why McGrath is playing, has he touched the ball yet??

Enjoyable game so far. Gueye proving why he’s worth keeping in the squad. He can be pretty good or crap, hit or miss. But he has pace strength skill and can create his own, plus is solid in the air. He’s not been great today, but he makes them think.

Credit to Jensen on the goal, could have easily smashed it but simple cross to okkels.

Very good start from us but every corner, cross, and long throw I expect them to score

Okkels! Get the check book out

Should be one up. Scramble! Three great corners, hit the bar. Hope we keep this effort up!

Decent start, we seem lively and on the front foot. More of us than them, good effort from gueye well saved.

Or new strip new era new winning run? Positive!

All set for Saturday morning viewing!

First time I’ve looked at this thread, really nice pictures Elgin. I grew up in lanark, some of your pics remind me of the Clyde valley, while my parents used to bag Monroe’s and they’d send me other pics like those. Been here for close to 30 years, best I can do these days is post a pic of Mickey Mouse, sorry!

Morris and gueye are good to have off the bench, they offer something. I think polvara goes, he rarely plays and I dont think suits our league. with nisbet, for much of the season he looked unfit and slow. I’d take a new miovski over him as we all would. But for a miovski there’s an Ambrose, with a sokler in between. I’m not a huge nisbet fan but we know what we’re getting. I think he’s in our price range because he’s not that good.

Maybe they’ll be up for this, maybe we will too in order to get 4th and momentum for the final. They have been shit of late, lost all 4 of the split so far so are in worse form than us. We desperately need a result, so why not? i see an open decent game, 3-2 us nisbet Clarkson and gueye wonder how many of our boys are playing their last league game for us?

That’s the thing, I thought we played well against hibs, a good opponent. Then three total shit performances after that. Why??? Especially in games that matter. I truly think you add two strong center mids, let’s say a Rama and a Ferguson, and we’re a different team. McLean jack Hayes and mcginn, Christie, maybe hedges, maybe Mackay Stevens, we’d be pounding teams so it didn’t matter if we weren’t great at the back. Yet since those guys it’s not been great in midfield. All of a sudden we’re attacking versus defending. The 6 ahead of our back 4 today, only Clarkson, probably topi but that’s 50/50, possibly nisbet but he’s hit/miss, should be starting. Morris gueye and palaversa are all good to bring off the bench. If you don’t dominate in midfield you end up with pressure on the defense. Our central 3 don't dictate games, even sivert does, maybe Clarkson at times. Mcginn and Hayes also did a good job defensively, Morris can’t defend and topi is average. Still think topi develops. Nisbet up top needs good players around him. He’s not good enough to create on his own, not mobile enough to cause problems with pace etc. Miovski bailed us out many a time with his pace and ability.

We’ve been through this before with Lewis. He went from being a great keeper to crumbling behind a shit defense. I think he’s good enough but fair question I suppose, but we’ve been so bad defensively it certainly affects your keeper negatively.

Still miss post game in the pub! Guess I add here. Based on what we have right now I think it’s fair to say we are targeting a starting Left back Center mid-the attacking 10 Winger Center forward That’s 4 essentials, but I still think we’re missing a second center mid, so 5 for me. Only Clarkson has the ability to be a starter, just don’t think palaversa shinnie sivert or polvara have done enough to lock in a starting position. And that’s being nice to Clarkson! We have Milne shinnie devlin Boyd, how many Scots do we need for Europe? Any young boys, including those who went on loan, expected to be first team squad next season? Didn’t overly rate Duncan and we’ve barely heard of him this season which isn’t a good sign.
