4 games in ten days. I don't recall that ever happening before About as good a draw as we could have hoped for I would say. Defo winnable and none of those teams will be happy about drawing us on current form you would think

I would it make it as much like Tynecastle as possible 2bh

I want 15 and a 25% sell on and for him to go to a mid size top flight club so afte a few seasons a really big club comes and pays 50 mill + for him

I would be at peace with taking some money for him then giving it to St mirren for mcgrath

I understand why you say that given the career he's had but I'm not sure you're right there. Time will tell but I think he could be one of these players that doesn't really kick on till he hits his mid 20's and becomes a proper adult for lack of a better way of putting it.

Watkins is a bit hit or miss, when he's on his game he is very hard to play against but when a team has his number he's not able to adapt.

Saints were as stuffy as expected. We deserved the win but under current rules I'm glad we don't have var yet cos that was getting ruled out for handball.

Not so sure about that Al, if he fails sure but he defo is a fucking hun and if he does well I could see him staying longer than gerrard

Their defence is all over the place too, it really lacks leadership. Neil has said a fair few times he has no interest in coming back to Scotland but would be a really good appt if they got him

They've pulled the trigger a tad early for me but with January looming you can understand it.

That's fair enough mate, he's a frustrating player at times for sure. At times he looks amazing and others like it's the first time he's ever seen a football. The reason I would be prepared to give him a bit more time is that I think he suits our intended style of play far more than under DM and I'm interested to see if he can kick on under glass

If memory serves from glass's post match on rtv I don't think so. Mackenzie might be though. Aye big game but defo going into it with confidence especially Bates and Mcrorie starting to form a partnership that is looking reasonably solid. They have not been playing well at all, Allan Preston said at the weekend that their defence was full of just basic mistakes so if that continues we should do pretty well put of them. 3-0 dons Hedges, Ramirez and watkins

Mclennan I would keep. There's a player in there and he's rapid. Mcrorie and brown in midfield has merit but I would want another centre half in. We should be trying to get mcgrath in to replace hedges

I thought SG's "we would have liked better performances" line was quite telling Al. Reeked of coming up here thinking it was going to be beneath him and he wouldn't have to try to hard to shine.

Not as far as I'm aware

Well I don't think we are going to get the 20 goals from jet he promised us when he signed but I'm at peace with that. He's not a striker for me but a no 10 all day long. 2bh I was a bit meh on resigning Watkins but I have to say he's been a real asset since coming back into the team. Ramirez has done so well, especially when you consider the culture shock of moving to a new continent. I hope the club are looking to extend his deal a year as he's ooc at the end of next season. Overall 40 between the 3 of them is ambitious but not impossible.

Different sure, not so sure he's a better one though

....... I'm sorry mate I'm not sure what you're referring to there?

Bates is starting to look a really good bit of business I have to say

I think you're right to. Bates coming onto a game as well as starting to form an understanding with Mcrorie is huge if you ask me. Lewis looking far more like himself equally so, the clean sheet midweek was almost as important as the win you could argue. Bad results have massively overshadowed the fact that at times there's been a lot to like about us this season and with a more solid defence fingers crossed we can really kick on now. This one could be a bit scrappy, particularly if there's no early goal but I fancy us to win it. 1-0 ramirez

Whilst I acknowledge livi were a bit off it I was really pleased for bates tonight after some of the stick he's taken. Looked very solid and moved the ball forward well. We might have played a different back line yet again but bates and Mcrorie are starting to look they are building up an understanding after playing a few together at cb. Fingers crossed anyway cos we really need to tighten up at the back Ojo whilst wasting a few attacking opportunities didn't do too bad at rb 2bf, does anyone know how long Ramsey is out for?

Indeed. Here's an unpopular opinion for you folks, jet had key involvement in pretty much every attack of note we made in that game. I'm not saying he doesn't frustrate but when he gets it right he creates chances.

I think a lot of managers would have lost their shit at ojo's red, no? But yes, it is interesting how people perceive things differently. I just thought he dealt with the pre match presser pretty well, seemed calm and reflect full and acknowledged he had been harsh on ojo. I don't there is a problem there with the player put it that way. It's worth a watch mate. Re the match bates will be back so at least we have 2 cb's though his form has been patchy so not sure how much difference that will make against a prolific front line. Only chance we have is to get in their faces, if we sit back we will get rinsed.

Wales record in Cardiff is pretty decent if memory serves. Don't think they have lost there in a while.
