I watched stenny tear Clyde apart a few weeks ago. Should've scored five in the first half. 

It's a win but it's not a convincing one.

My regular window post, Mikey Johnson please, the next Niall mcginn. 
would love to see this window used to get us back to 4 at the back and play with two wingers again. Problem is, no clue what we are trying to do. Formation and style of play are shit. Tough to build around absolute bollocks when I don’t buy into the bollocks.

how was baccus yesterday??

I've thought this would be a good move for the last couple of seasons. He needs to get out of the fringes and get the chance to establish himself.

Any recommendations for Ramadani replacement.Think Id drop Gartenmann for McDonald to talk Rubezic through games,whose decision making and passing today was poor

I actually thought today that ruby would be better in the DMC role as he is capable of winning and distributing the ball.

Baz getting it easy because everybody had already fucked off.

DC had to see that empty pittodrie and realise that the goodwill has gone.

Utter rubbish. No pass marks today. Midfield rotten, strikers anonymous again and our defence is consistently inconsistent.

Time to start over. Get in an actual coach with a style of play.

It's also irrelevant but VAR has fucked us again. On the penalties front.

Surely a pen. I don't understand why var wouldn't check that. Just because he seen it doesn't mean he never fucked up the call.

It really isn't that hard to pass the ball to a guy in a bright red shirt surely?

Very few pass marks today. Froze in the first half. McGrath was awful, Clarkson just didn't feature apart from free kicks. 

We all knew that the midfield was too lightweight and so it proved to be. Barely managed a pass, never managed a shot.

Sadly this was totally predictable. We're a horrible watch.

I didn't have the points for the initial batch and was too lazy/busy for the general. I probably average about 10 games a season between European mid weeks, away games that suit and the odd pittodrie trip so can't grumble.

The recent performances also made me question another Hampden trip to sit in the rain watching us 2 down at half time. ( I appreciate it isn't Celtic this time)

I'll turn it into Superbowl day in the house with the boys and some friends.

I am headed to Frankfurt with the boys and weirdly hoping that we can put out a second string that will be competitive. 

Created nothing. Deserved nothing. No leaders, no winners , new manager on the Santa list.

Garbage half. Long ball merchants. For me you have to play McGrath or Clarkson at 10 to get on the ball and turn and bring in someone to do the work with shinnie.

I loved Clarkson last season but we're not getting the best from him now.

We're disjointed going forward and the long ball doesn't work unless someone can hold it in.

"He's the worst player in the league" @redordead ™

I've seen dadia. I just think he's over hyped. I much preferred CR9. A natural finisher, who coincidentally just won the conference.

Rubezic is an awkward one.Lots of folk thinking he's come on leaps and bounds,but still costing us something in a lot of games. Theres an argument for persisting with him,but we're in dire need of points,and a spell on the bench might be for the best.

    Is our midfield sortable with the personnel we have? Could an existing player be utilised as a Rama type player til the Jan window,eg Duncan,McKenzie,McGarry? Were a bit physically lightweght in midfield IMO

I think the issue is that we are now a selling club. We will persist with young players in the hope of selling them on for a big profit. Meaning ruby will play until he improves to be sold. There's no value in Angus.

Clarkson has been pish all season. He should've moved on as he's set himself back.

We carry no threat going forward. We knock it about the sides and then fire in a cross which miovski will never win 

So easy to play against. No control of a game. Dave had spent a fortune backing Barry but he's not being rewarded.

Seriously. I can't believe the hype miovski gets. Anonymous then misses that chance. I've never been a fan but I'd swap him for Boyle in a heartbeat. 

Never looks like he has the heart to get to the ball first.

Hibs are charging £34 for this which is way too much for Scottish Football. If this wasn’t being played in my back garden I would not be going.
 

With McKenzie being injured would expect McGarry to get start at left wing back. Hopefully he is better than he was on last visit to Edinburgh. Agree with Manc that I would like to see Sokler and Miovski get more time as front pairing as thought they looked liked they could form a good partnership. Hibs will be desperate to get revenge for the semi final and most of their fans still feel they should have won the game. New manager seems to have them playing well and this would have been a difficult game without the mid week trip.

Funnily enough I was considering it with my youngest and then seen the price. I'm not encouraging it.

If I took the 3 boys it would cost £118 !!

Thursday isn't really an excuse this time. Celtic spent midweek chasing shadows around Madrid with ten men.

No style, no systems and I feel like this was treated as a freebie after Thursday. We now sit very close to the bottom. The fitba is honking and I'm not sure we can survive Robson past Christmas.

However he got to a cup final ( fuck knows how because we were awful in the semi too) and the team have performed reasonably in Europe. Meaning he'll be there until Europe and the final are done.

We need an actual coach. Like glass but a bit better at the defence stuff. We need to start trying to play football. I mean less than 20% today. That's shameful.

That’s what I don’t get. I’m sure we’ve conceded pens for less.

To be fair, we should've had one against us with roos today. It evened out.

We were very poor. Sometimes it's better to be lucky thank good. Let's hope for a hearts shock tomorrow.

Genuinely got a surprise there to see Marshall. He's had a very quiet day so far.

As I said above. get it fucking hit. Shitebag

Why does miovski need twenty touches to shoot when he's 1v1 running at a centre half?

Get the fucking shot away.

It's not that far for me and usually I'd happily take the boys up. However nothing points towards a decent performance coming.

It's cold, there's another storm due and I could use the cash to buy tickets for December activities. 

If the wee one guilts me into it and we are pish again I'll be raging.

I went out shopping at half time because I've seen this movie before.

I've said it before many times. The style of football was never good enough last season and we got very lucky with Duk and Roos in outrageous form during the run in.

I'd genuinely have backed glass for another window because the style of play was 100x better than now. We dominated games with a shit squad. ( granted we struggled to defend) If he'd had the cash Robson has had, I think he could've turned the corner.

Ramirez was twice the striker miovski is. We fucked him over and Vinny too and now can't get up the field. 

For me Robson has to beat hibs or he's gone by new year. We need a fundamental change to our style.

Problem is that we now have 1000 defenders in the squad on decent contracts.

Are it's been poor so far. We really don't dictate games. 

That said Barron and McKenzie have been outstanding this week. Maybe we need to bleed some more youngsters.,
