Stomach churring - could be nerves or could be excitement . Fingers crossed We’ll fans

That's exact team I would have picked as sparrow obviously injured. Bring Vogt on when they are hopefully tired COYW

And the bonus of hopefully being able to attract players due to the style of football we are playing

I'd certainly hope we're spending a bit more on players than we were, and not just because we have money to spend at the moment. It should be part of the model. We have progressed from getting players on a free transfer and hoping to get a million or so for them, to spending a couple of hundred grand and hoping to get a bigger profit margin, and now we're looking at players who cost around half a million and while the ceiling in what we can command in transfer fees is real, we'd hope that spending that half a million means the player is more likely to be worth four or five million in a year or two. It's not an exact science, of course, but it stands to reason that someone valued at half a million with the pedigree that Hodge has is more likely to have a higher ceiling than someone we get for nothing and who doesn't quite have that background. A calculated risk for sure, but hopefully it'll pay off more often than not. And that's not to mention that we are able to sign players on longer deals when we're spending more, rather than a season at a time.

He tried really hard not to say that in the podcast as well! 😍😍😍

Stenny ticket office saying tickets will be on sale at the gates if anyone is interested. I expect it may only be the home end though so will need to behave....

Aye he made an arse of it

Airbles Road is back to being the boy racers 1am race track.

As accidental butt deflections go. 🤣

Know the feeling mate

SOD's goal, however, was a magnificent strike. We are in better shape this time than last time, but the days of easy away days in the cup are few and far between. I think we'll be fine.

No , no roadworks on airbles road

I hope the players are not as nervous as me 😳 CMON THE WELL !!!!!’

Anyone know If road work still goin on up to fir park? I missed first 10 mins of last European game.

I have a lot of time for SOD, never hides and always gave his all even when going through that barren spell where the abuse he got from some was ridiculous. Last season you could see how much he improved under a good manager rather than hoofball from you know who

Very true with regards to the last 2 but AP is still da main man....just wait and see 🤣🤣🤣

People were saying that even when AP, Hendry and Thor were fit and available for selection.

I'm just desperately trying to remember we have a game on a Thursday.

Stenny have been good for the last couple of seasons and we barely got past them last time.....but we should be able to put out a second string and at least be competitive and perhaps bring on key players if and when needed.

I saw that. If true, its certainly a statement. Would be close to a club record fee paid for a player I would imagine. I know we did get a helluva lot more than that for Watt, so the money is there, but even still. Alfred did make a point of saying we would stick to the model that has been successful, so we wont be throwing cash around left, right and centre. But it certainly allows us to target a higher calibre player than we maybe could in the past. Obviously with the caveat we will be hoping to develop Hodge into another Eli Just type fee in a couple of years. Good times.

Wrong thread....

We have played 5 competitive games so far this season. We have scored 8 and conceded 2. I get that 3 were penalties, but it was good play on all 3 occasions that created the pressure that caused the defenders to give the penalties away. I dont necessarily expect tonights game to be highscoring. But we created plenty of chances last week to prove we can threaten them going forward. Defence is key though. Keep a clean sheet and we will win the game eventually.

Getting nervous due to what is at stake. I really hope its a memorable night and we can progress to face Freiburg. Up front is huge concern, just don't know where our goals are coming from. COYW

Its £15 be a devil and have a punt 😁
