Who says our funds are limited.... Frame was a strange one. Playing in the lowland league, he was never going to step into our team. I'm assuming Bilalovic is injured? He looked like he might have something about him, but perhaps suspect positionally. Thought we might have seen something more of him when chasing games. He didn't look any worse than Milanovic. I'd have thought all three could have been out on loan to the championship at least.

"What has failed recently was not due to our structure or model, but to one individual’s desire for self-preservation at the expense of others." Brilliant stuff. Rogers is an absolute weirdo.

The camera adds 60kg

Armstrong has been decent on the ball, generally speaking. However, it struck me when watching Hibs (and when we signed him, in reality it is fucking obvious), that he would do a good job in the role McGrath was playing. Let's just do that for Killie. Edit: obviously, I'd normally pick Clarkson ahead of Nilsen, but I'm saving him for the second half when we're two down.

Banks O'Dee v County is a good draw. Been a while since a side that big has been to the city

Then hopefully he's learned his fucking lesson and realised that throwing money at a manager doesn't work unless it's millions more than everyone else, and you spend a substantial portion of it on buying everyone else's best players. Nevermind though, once the project players find their feet, we'll walk the league.

Aye, that was gash again. I suspect that the last two minutes has saved JT's job. Had we lost 3-0 then he'd have been done. The European pish is an absolute disaster for us. We're nowhere near being ready for the extra games and today showed it. Several players looked knackered today, and we don't even have a settled first eleven, never mind a rotatable squad. We don't seem to be able to attack without leaving gaping holes in defence. The second half especially, when Devlin (probably the only one with pass marks, Lazetic aside) spent the entire time upfield. Dorrington and Milne were poor, with Knoester only marginally better. Karlsson very quick to berate Keskinen (which helped nobody), but didn't do a whole lot himself and gave the ball away too often. Armstrong was okay, but takes too long to shoot, and gives the ball away far too often. For all the shite Shinnie gets with the "legs have gone" pish, he covers 80 times more ground than Palaversa, who was absolutely dogshite. Clarkson was good when he came on and should be starting. Jensen pish and once again Nisbet is a waste of a shirt without a partner (which should have been obvious before signing). Milanovic probably had his best game today, positionally he was really good, working well with Devlin. Unfortunately he was terrible anytime he actually got the ball. I'm assuming Bilalovic is dead or something? Anyway, it's the shite squad building in the summer that has fucked us. Get the DOF in and put a proper plan in place and force JT to stay and get it done. Need to take a hard call on guys like Palaversa, Polvara etc and get them shifted.

Jambos win the league after only 9 games.

Molloy on the left and Aouchiche on the right are the two weak points (square pegs) for me. We play a 3-4-3, but I think if you just move Aouchiche back into a midfield three, then you can have someone up front with Nisbet, which then allows him to play to his strengths.

He was okay on the right on Thursday, it was when he switched left that he really couldn't cope. His body shape for one of those simple lofts over the top, that he missed, was hilarious. He gets himself in all sorts of messes. He's had a tough start to the season it has to be said, but I think he'll play today.

That didn't happen

Dicks obviously spent all their money on players.

That was a sore one. We were rank, but they were very good. We were just that little bit slow all over the park, and each time we were a half second too late to the ball, they capitalised. The first goal, Shinnie gets beaten, but he'd be expecting Devlin to be a bit closer in order to easily block the angle of the shot, but it was an absolute belter of a finish. The subsequent goals were all a variation on that theme. Shinnie and Armstrong weren't a great pairing, but Palaversa, Polvara and Clarkson all came on and struggled (Palaversa got walked around twice in the lead up to their fifth, making Shinnie look like a spritely twenty year old). Keskinen struggled defensively, but I think Jensen was probably worse on that side unfortunately. Dorrington didn't look great, and Milne struggled too. Thought Lazetic was probably one of our top performers, and I'd have given him our MOTM if it hadn't been for the work of Yengi when he came on. Anyway, the worst part is that we have to play again on Sunday, and Hibs are probably decent. We ran ourselves into the ground chasing shadows tonight, and that will take its toll. I expect Lazetic might be rested, which is not what we need (a good argument to say that we should have given Nisbet a run out instead, but I suspect we'd drained the subs by that point). There's nothing great about this conference league shite it has to be said!

Aye, but it's new, so we don't like to get sweat on it.

Secret weapon on.

It was fairly clear in even his YouTube "highlights" that he was probably going to be a nothing player. A nice footballer who doesn't do anything. He's working hard tonight. Not sure how Clarkson is getting kept out of the team. Although this probably isn't a game for him, unless we're looking to hang him out to dry.

Christ, that was wild. They are very good. Wasn't a day for Shinnie and Armstrong against that pace and movement. Although we don't have anyone capable of matching that, or getting close. Karlsson a waste of time in games like this. Aouchiche not been great, but he's putting in the work at least. Can't tell if Jensen is better than Keskinen on their wrong sides or not. Devlin looks like he's struggling too. The Scottish lads not coping well at all with the heat. It's basically cheating.

We're all over this shite

Mitov. Fuck sake

They all are. He's getting zero help in the middle. Some finish again from thon lad.

Some goal

@Jute2 is a lot slower than the old one

Same as the weekend, but Keskinen in ahead of Molloy, and Lazetic for Nisbet. Both likely the correct call.

Certain idiots probably didn't realise it kicked off at 17:45. Not me of course.
