Fair dues but initially you did say " lucky" and the Helsinki one was down to one player...lets see how it goes today, will settle for Lucky or a one man show

To be honest pal we have no idea what its like behind the scenes. I have no reason to suspect things are bad. Hopefully a win today and we will all be smiling

Yep! I’d also like to see JKL starting alongside Moorman. Looks like an attacking line up. Here’s hoping we can create and convert chances.

But saying he and others felt on edge around JBA? Surely footballers should feel a bit a bit edgy around their manager? He is there to command respect and lead them and if they’re not doing what he is asking him to then the players know he will come down on them. Klopp at Liverpool acted like a father figure to his players, always hugging them and embracing them at the end of games but he demanded maximum input from them at all times and they didn’t cross him. Alfred needs to show that he can lead and manage the team and so far he’s fallen short on that front.

Ye i think you are overanalysing. I took SOD'S comments as positive towards AJ

Happy with line up apart from Sparrow at right back. I would have played SOD there and either JGR or JKL at centre half. COYW

My preferred choice too. K-L in central defence.

I'd have had SOD at RB and either G-R or K-L in beside Moorman, possibly Levitt instead of Hodge. I wonder if our commentator today will have actually read the team sheet and get Palmer-Holden's name right....

SOD had to start today . Hopefully he can be the calm and experianced one in the team . To pull things together. Also to ensure the ball gets out to Longelo more often .

Very happy to see Koutroumbis on the bench - wonder if he’ll be on for last 20 mins . i wouldn’t be against putting McGhee into midfield to add some strength fingers crossed for something better today

Vogt drops to the bech Maswanhise & Said start Sparrow at right back and SOD at centre back again

My first away game in years(although to all intents a local game for me). The team need the fans to get right behind them from the off. A performance is the most important thing for me, but also his team selection will show what he has learned if anything from the last 4 losses. I'm going for a 3-2 win for the good guys.

I was just about to ask how are people feeling about today - you often have a good sense about match day @mio. my sense is today is a must perform and must take something from the game - but no clue if we will see a reaction

Heading down to Kilmarnock today and it’s the first time since Kettlewell’s tenure that I’m asking myself “why am I going” im normally a glass half full with us but there’s just something up this season, I have a horrible feeling he’ll start Vogt and have sparrow again at right back. I’m hoping I’m wrong. We need a win and I don’t see it being today.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but for me SOD’s comments about finding Alfred more approachable than JBA are a bit concerning and supports the worry about him not having that leadership and presence. A soft touch perhaps. Last week you had Longelo walking away while he was trying to talk to him and others, that 100% would not have happened with Askou.

yes - one of the fans - known as the 'comedien gris '

Oui oui 😇

Toulouse win 3-0 away tonight but controversy on toulousemenonline.com as someone called JBA. 'Le Legend' 🤪🤪

wonder what SOD would have thought about McLean back in the day. JBA did have that side of 'don't pi%% me about'.

I think a few players back then suffered from heidburstinitis ! 🤪🤪

I can't comment about AJ's time so far, but things weren't quite so rosy behind the scenes with Kettlewell.

Watched SOD's interview and thought it was very good and interesting how he finds AJ more approachable than Jens. Peter Martin again like a dug with a bone with the questions but I thought SOD handled it perfectly
