Are you all right pal? Plenty of time for a response to this at least the thread is here 😇 COYW

It’s the youth GK

Sadly I have to agree. I've seen nothing to convince me he's got what it takes at our level. Against HB he looked lightweight and the game passed him by. There will now be other young lads knocking on the door.

Woahhhhhhh woahhhhhhhh calm doon. Let's get Thursday sorted first 🤣🤣

Probably keep him, he has lost form badly, falling over with his hands in the air too often just get on with it . Give him that he really shouldn't be up front in the middle himself tho.

From one cup game to another I think this game will be a tough one but I believe we will win this Injures are the only main worry. COYW

Anyone think we are likely to keep Maswanhise this season as interest appears to have tailed off.

How are ticket sales going for this game? We’ll need the crowd roaring the team on to see us thru the 90 minutes I think. Hopefully we can actually score some goals to put us in a better position for the last 15 minutes or so. Any word on Williams being available?

2-1 down from the 1st leg, they scored to make it 3-1 on agg then Jamie Murphy missed a pen to make it 3-2. If we had scored it we would have had nearly 20 mins i think to get two goals against 9 men. A big oportunity missed that night. The best thing that night was the sight of old Craig Brown trying to land a punch on the Odense managers chin after an srgument 😂

I’ve been thinking of Odense where we hammered them and got beat 0-1 they ended up with 9 men I think. Did we hit the post with penalty?

You missed out shoddy, cheap and nasty, not fit for purpose, etc etc

I just hope we don't blow it. I am getting flashbacks to the Nancy game back in 2008, place was buzzing, we all had those inflatable bangers, then 15 mins later 2-0 down!! Let's make this a famous glory night for the Well. COYWWWWWWWW

We need 8 in our squad of 25 for the Conference League.

One of our biggest games for a while. “Glamour” tie versus Freiburg awaits us if we win. Not often we get to play the Europa league runners up.

Second Leg Q3 Conference

Yes. This is the dilemma. On these specific players I do think Wilson has shown enough to be the type of squad player we are talking about. In this case we have both Williams and Longelo who would likely start at left back in almost every case but he could replace either if not available. Ross hasn’t, for me, shown / grasped his chance in any position. Maybe he is an example of going out to lower league as last opportunity. Long may we have some coming through to have these debates.

Ye volunteering? Go on........go.for it 🤣🤣

I agree to a degree but to my way of thinking you look at each position, starter and back up, and look to upgrade where possible. From youth teams (ours and elsewhere) if possible for those back ups.. That way you achieve a constant uplift in quality on the pitch and on the bench.. And more likliehood that those bench players will elevate to first team regulars. Regards Wilson, he has been with us for a good number of years and after a very promising start has shown little to no progress. Despite loan placements to address whatever deficiencies our coaches identified. So how long do we wait before looking to upgrade? Ditto Luca Ross I guess. And if we hold on too long, are we effectively missing out on others that might improve us? Not saying it's easy or that some decisions are painful to make but eventually it will be to the benefit of all concerned to part ways. Cue Wilson scoring the winner on Thursday.

I’m sure most fans would love to see more their own coming through and to be fair there’s a virtuous cycle re playing and promoting youngsters that will encourage better quality youngsters over time. There’s a balance to be found . I’m up for youngsters going on loan which several have done . There’s an argument they’ll get ready faster for first team by doing this . The reverse must also be true where we get bigger clubs youngsters . Not all youngsters will be good enough - not just for the first team but also the squad . If we’ve had a player who’s been with us for several years , been out on loan and still lacking I don’t really accept that because they’re young and Scottish that we should keep them in the squad . fwiw I personally think the club are doing a very decent job at getting the balance right .

That's exactly my thinking, which is why I'm not so quick to dismiss some of the players we have in and around the first team already. I do think we have set a very high bar as fans, where we're looking for Turnbull/Miller/Johnston levels otherwise we shouldn't be looking to retain them. We're going to have fringe players. It's how it works for clubs our size who require a decent-sized squad of players. I'd rather those fringe players were our own youngsters than loans or free signings that aren't all that much better in reality.

Do we use this thread for Thursday as well or start a new one?

Were the POD season ticket prices not cheaper this season and in line with the Hunter stand? Jeez folk are never happy!! 🤣🤣 Yes I am joking. Club need to get the seats sorted, sounds absolutely ridiculous for the folk sitting there

I thought I read someone on here saying it was in competition rules but not sure if it was specific competition or all competitions
