Pleased the squad got a wee break 2bh Manc. Fancy us big time for this and fancy us to end the month well. A solid win here sets us up nicely to take St mirren and then county. 3-0 Miovski, Duk and mcgarry

Not only that there is no recovery period for the squad so Robson can get them on the training pitch tomorrow when he wouldn't have been able to prior. We will defo be fresher come the Motherwell game than we would have been.

Sympathies to all those that travelled though, that must have been a real sickener. In the grand scheme of things perhaps it's not the worst luck in the world. I'm pleased the squad is getting a wee break after such a hectic schedule 2bh. Also this had banana skin written all over it and I'm also pleased it is now a 2024 problem. Motherwell and Helen at home next then county away. 9 from 9 is highly achievable

My feeling is he will end up in Serie A 2bh and I wouldn't be shocked if it was Bologna again. I'm hoping for about 6 mill + sell on fee but time will tell. I also doubt he will be here come February 2bh but would be delighted to be proven wrong.

I really like Polvara. I noticed pre season he was getting talked up an awful lot by Robson and Hayes. As such I watched him closely anytime he got minutes. Robson was talking him up again in his presser yesterday and I can see him becoming a big player for us as the season progresses. Polvara was also speaking and he comes across as very switched on and humble. His ball for Sokler on thursday gets better every time you watch it.

Gets better every time you look at it!

Great win, keeps the momentum going for the final on Sunday. 500k and coefficient points an added bonus

Oh fuck off, dyron Dall and Dave bus ring a bell?

See Cuntwell didn't travel with the hun squad to seville for personal matters.... Reeks of he's had a falling out with the manager (who, 2bf, doesn't seem a sufferer of fools). Fingers crossed for a blood bath in seville tonight to decimate their squad further

Hopefully it won't just be the prossies getting pumped by Scots

Amazingly Cifuentes red card has been upheld at appeal. No extra game suspension though

We need a Def midfielder as a priority. As for Miovski there is no danger cormack would deal with the tims unless they offer silly money. I suspect Bojan has higher ambitions than staying on Scotland as well

Mediocre first half but we certainly were not dominated by hearts at any point really. Excellent second half I thought though, every one just upped a gear and really wanted it. I do agree hearts shat it a bit but we were well worth the win in the end. I actually thought Morris looked quite handy when he came on. Big win.

I would like to see how Duk got on alongside sokler 2bh. As a pairing you could argue Duk and Miovski aren't overly suited playing with the other as a two. Not that they can't do well together but both suit playing with a more team orientated cf. We haven't seen enough of Sokler to say that's what he is but he defo has the potential to be.

You are spot on on the weak spots though re Miovski at least we have other attacking options to at least play. Rb and cm though we are so light. Nicky Devlin has been the best fb business we have done in quite a while i would say and if he got injured we would be in trouble as I'm far from convinced by Morris. Same with Shinnie. Barron, Clarkson, polvara and mcgrath are not holding midfielders. I wonder if Gartenmann could move forward in a crunch , he reads the game well and is more than good enough on the ball to win it and move it to a creative player. Mcgarry coming back is a positive at least, I haven't seen anywhere near enough of him to judge his worth yet.

We are about to embark on a run from the last day of November to the 2nd last day of December (30 days) which encompasses 10 games. That's literally a one game every three days for a month. I mean, that's just fucking bonkers and I honestly can't remember the club every having a run like this whilst I've supported them. It gets worse though cos then we have County at home on the second of January so it's actually an 11 game in 33 day run... Which is also a one in 3 average just for longer. Joy. Obviously, this is going to be quite the test for the squad and the management. I suspect this is what Robson and Agnew have been talking about when they say everyone has a role to play in the campaign despite lack of game time. Rotation becomes a necessity now and perhaps even players like Besuijen will be feeling tired come the bells of Hogmanay. The big question marks for me are over dadia, Williams and gueye as these guys have come with something resembling a reasonable pedigree but the few appearances between them have not inspired any praise. It's not all bad though, including the County game 6 of the 8 league games are at home and they are all very winnable. The two away are Easter road (which is this Sunday) and the fun away on the 23rd. They are very winnable games also..... though I concede hibs away is defo not easy after coming back from Helsinki. They are also very far apart as dens is not until the 23rd and we will play at home for 3 league games, 1 European game and then a trip to hampden before that. It's impossible to predict how this is going to go. Key players getting injured seems fairly inevitable though even with plenty rotation..... but then it's not guaranteed either. We might get lucky and avoid anything more serious than a few minor knocks to the likes of Dante Polvara and Esper Sokler. If there is an advantage of playing so many games it's that if you get a few results and performances on the bounce you can get some cracking momentum and given the fixtures we have that is far from out of the question. As such there may be more riding on this Helsinki game than the pride and the 500k for the win it appears to be on first glance.

Looking forward to this one, a lot of the squad will be pretty well rested and I think their performances since clement have been a bit over praised. Think we will win it 2-1

I would like to see it go to the court of arbitration for sport 2bh.

Going to go against the grain and say I thought we managed the game fairly well. We absolutely conceded territory to them for large spells and were outplayed for the first 15 mins of the second half but aside from that I felt we kept them at arms length fairly well. It wasn't a classic but we created the best chance of rhe game and stuck it away. 4 games in 9 days is a tough ask in any league especially when only one has been at home. The team deserves a lot credit for getting it the job done today imo. I think would rather the huns in the final, we both have a euro game the Thursday before and they are away to betis which will be tough for them. Hearts would be all kinds of fresh and well prepared in comparison.

I think I've forgotten what the players look like it's been so long since we had a game

School holidays as well is it not? But aye, it's tough times and people only have so much cash to play with

Aye red weather warning for Aberdeen for tomorrow I hear. This game is getting postponed for sure. Fuck knows when we will be able reschedule it for

Robson was a wee bit.... Not snippy exactly in his presser but I defo think he wasn't in a brilliant mood. Worth a watch. Reasonably confident, doc will have dundee well set up and Robson commented that they are particularly dangerous from set pieces. From that pov I hope the winds have died down a bit as you would think a swirling wind would probably suit them better. Solid 2-0 win, Sokler and mcgrath

So, with this being confirmed as UK and Ireland what are the chances we might get some funding to redevelop Hampden?

Aye that was beautiful. Really chuffed for Mackenzie, for a long time I didn't think he was going to quite be good enough. Fair to say Robson being in charge has been very good for him and his attitude is spot on. It's hard not to see him as a credible lb option now.
