Given our current form, I’m not overly confident for this one. He league table makers for frustrating viewing after yet another failure to capitalise on anything around us. Something needs to change and it’s certainly linked to the excuses that keep getting pedalled by the man in charge. He more than us needs a result of some sort over the next week. I know Robson mentioned he should have rotated the team, guess it may come now.

surely we don’t see Duk. It just isn’t happening for him this season for one reason or another. Will we ever see sokler given any real mins?

3-1 them, miovski

Would rather stick pins in my eyes.

A big fat 

OUT

Have bought and paid for Hampden on Saturday so will go to that although already I'm thinking along the lines of what I'd be better doing

Have absolutely zero belief that Robson and Agnew are up to the task in hand.

Goes without saying I hope I'm proved wrong

Have to hope Robson has learned from Sunday and the hoofball is dropped from our tactical plan. From his comments about freshening things up post match I expect there to be changes to the line up. What they will be only Robson knows. Can’t see him moving away from 3-5-2 though. Motherwell are on a poor run and have not won in their last 5 matches. They will be looking at us a way of ending that run. 
 

Too busy with work is the excuse I am putting up for not going but really it’s because I just don’t want to pay money to watch us just now.

1-0 Miovski 

Clinging to the hope that Robson has the lightbulb moment that turns his and our season round(and because I cant be arsed with another managerial faff). Going against the grain,I think Robson is intelligent,so scratching my head at why were in the pickle we are. Thought if we could stumble along to the January window,we might be able to fill a few of the remaining gaps,but theres a hints of a rapid nosedive before then,unless he's able to do something with what he's got.

Prediction - Robbos rampant Reds to run riot.  0 - 5   Williams x3,Gueuye,Rubezic bullet 🥃🥃 💉😵‍💫

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.

This one is on Motherwell PPV for £11.

FIFY

 

Surely the penny will drop eventually. If not, I fear Robson is broken and needs sent away and returned in 7-10 days with new parts.

I want the return of the version of Robson that took over in February.

Interim Robson > permanent Robson.

It was always thus. Quite sure this was a reason why we were all nervous about him getting the gig permanently.

Simple, sack Robson and then immediately replace him with Robson to act as caretaker until we can get Robson back in

Anyone feeling a wee bit more optimistic for this one yet? 😂

Mmm, let me think 🤔

Nope 

After seeing Barron isn’t starting my already low expectations are now non existent.

Turned on a bit late, but in plenty of time to see the goal. Great ball in from Devlin. Well done McGrath. Deserved. Clarkson passing look good and the setup looks better. Basically going with the proven successful 5-4-1, but pushing the two wide players forward into a 3-4-2-1 it looks like (much like Scotland often play). It's a good solid setup and brings out the best of McGrath and Polvara.

I agree with this, it seems a better formation for us at the moment but makes a mockery of the money spent on strikers. 

Looks like this strange looking passing stuff seems to work.

That's okay though. Buying the strikers made complete sense given we generally play a two. The fact that they've turned out to be not good enough is part of the lottery of the transfer market (although I would say that the lack of variety in those strikers is poor). The worst thing we've done this season is to try and play Duk into form. 

Fantastic second goal from Dons legend Nicky Devlin. He's ace. Such a no brainer of a signing and already had more assists and goals than McRorie last season. 

Great half. Miovski, McKenzie, Shinnie, Clarkson, McGrath and Devlin been good, with no poor performers. We're first to every ball and passing it on the actual playing surface. 

Motherwell look gash. The ref has let the game flow.

Some nice fitba,taking the game to them.Keep it going.Ps Well's pitch looks very good,was often a mudbath this time of year

Assuming we'll make a triple sub with 18 minutes to go, just to make a point.

Plenty time left to lose 3 goals...

WTF is going on. 

VAR is broken. 10 minute delay.

VAR not working I think,time to bin it

We should get a few punches in while VAR is down. 

Ref has been good! Good sub by Robson, they were starting to make space in our midfield.
