  1. Sorry been busy. Happy new year. However Celtic were very much like Celtic in Europe minus the finishing. Look at Brighton for example. They play in a certain way without big names and punch above their weight. Whilst others want to give Jim a couple of windows. It's rather someone with a style of play came in. Hypothetically speaking. If Brendan ( for example) fancied a trip back to Scotland and came to the dons. Are you honestly telling me he couldn't improve the performances after a few weeks in the training ground because of our squad?
  2. I'm not against the policy of bringing in youth with quality to move on. However inevitably you lose power in the team. This is why an Ajax don't launch the ball 70yds. We need a possession based style of play and Jim doesn't have the skills to introduce it. If you want to bring in technically good players, you need a technicality good coach. I totally believe that a big Ange For example would have us nipping at the heels of the ugly sisters with a team that play their parts in the grand plan. We don't have a plan full stop and as a result are making players worse than they were when they arrived. Turn as Stewart had been. I don't think we bought him to spend 80 minutes defending the six yard box. He is as decent ball winner and tries to pass out. This works a lot better when you're the team applying the pressure.
  3. Just pish. This reminds me of the run at the end of Derek's era. Was never the right man for the job but he was the easy option. I've given him the benefit of the doubt but his stubbornness with the formation and playing miovski every game despite awful performances sure that he won't correct this.
  4. Completely took the structure away and now he'll blame the strikers for not getting us back into it. Total clown. Well get caught out with no midfield.
  5. IUnbelievable sub. Duncan did more in the first half than miovski has in a month. Very harsh on the boy and the team is still causing a passenger.
  6. Whole system is a mess. They clearly aren't comfortable playing like this. We need to see Barron in the other half. We need players to get on the ball and take the game to Killie. I'd take glass back tomorrow with this squad. Remember when we were shite but had 70% possession and couldn't hit a barn door.
  7. Thoroughly deserved. We're offering nothing. How many times had Matty run up to the defender, got 5 yards away and turned back. No belief in this team.
  8. Is this guy commentating for real. Playing out from the back. Roos had been humping it for weeks. What's he been watching?
  9. I know I say this regularly but how does miovski keep his place ahead of Ramirez? A proven goalscorer in a poor team last year whilst Ferguson took the penalties.
  10. Cheers guys. I can see the Stewart comparison as he looked a bit off the pace at first but I thought that he improved the second time I seen him. Looked to have a bit of creativity that we're lacking. I'd like to see us go back to two attacking midfielders behind one striker and one holding midfielder behind them. Would let us utilise Barron, Clarkson, Roberts and Vinnie better whilst ramadani and mcrorie fought for the holding role. For me, the two strikers don't work and I'd rather we could control the game than punt it and expect a miracle from duk. Hopefully with more options available, we'll be more expansive and try to keep the ball.
  11. Is he a mythical creature? Is he still injured? Or does Goodwin just not like him? Looked a decent player when he came in. Does anybody know if we'll see him again?
  12. Funny you should say that. I feel that our focus isn't on winning games but on selling players. Barron being one who they clearly want to get as much game time as possible and also miovski who the board keep touting about as being worth a fortune despite his. Hopefully they're trying to put Morris in the shop window too. Only way to explain his recent inclusion.
  13. Decent effort. Bit of an ugly game. Miovski again never Looks in danger of winning the ball. That said his touch was so poor it ricocheted to get us the foul. Need a change up there to harass them. Duk never fails to amaze. Never seen that coming from him!
  14. Deserved nothing, got nothing. Pathetically lightweight up front. Roos just launching it back to them.
  15. Morris ???? He was fucking appalling playing Atlanta B. What goes on in Jim's head
  16. Carter Vickers up at the 18yd box for that goal. That's how little that we offered today.
  17. Lack of quality from miovski is painful. I really don't see what the hype is. Nae pace, awful touch, no strength and no aggression. Hits a decent penalty. He's had about four balls slipped to him and lost out every time.
  18. Punt and chase.
  19. Need a striker that can win and hold the ball for duk to run off. Miovski is a spectator against the decent teams.
  20. Can't read too much into this given the personnel and formation. However I think we can all safely say that Morris would struggle to get a game in the third division. Did e not spend a bit of cash on him too?
  21. Jim needs to change this to get a hold of the ball. No out ball and United dominating midfield after their subs.
  22. Having the upper hand but lacking any real threat.
  23. If you have Ramirez the chances miovski is sclaffing this season he'd be well into double figures by now.
  24. Anybody recommend a pub not showing the game
