Playing games might be the best “training”’they can get at this time of season

Its three or four games into the season there is no need to rest players, the squad is thin enough just now, strongest possible team should be starting every game.

If we can get a great result on Thursday i would be tempted to rest a few for falkirk game. Not big changes but maybe start, booth, whyte.

Are we going to be brave and play our normal game to try and win or are we going to be more cautious to get them back to Fir Park? I wonder if our approach will be more about trying to “preserve” the squad rather than winning away from home or will we play our best 11 every game and deal with injuries/tiredness/suspensions as they affect us? While playing 2 games a week can be hard work, it’s also great for getting the players match sharpness up a few levels. I think the players can handle the schedule with rest and recovery as long as we can avoid injuries.

Imagine spending your hard earned cash looking for some entertainment and having the gall to enjoy it. Outrageous.

Been impressed so far and I see st Louis paid $1.3 million for him 2 years ago. Be interesting to know how much we paid. Only 22

Where did you see this?

That had crossed my mind. As far as I know, GR is a midfielder first and foremost.

Good point, she is a very screechy voiced bint as well. Some may say, they are a perfect match.

To cut him some slack he probably has to listen to Mr Rock N Roll being played in his hoose about 20 times a day!! 🤣🤣, would make anyone bitter

I wonder if another option for Thursday would be to play knight-lebel alongside moormann and play girdwood-reich in defensive midfield role

Away end sold out, absolutely superb. Hope all going have a memorable night

Early days but i really like AJ and the start he has made. Signings so far look really good and hopefully a few more to come in

So far we’ve played three games, scored 7 goals, and conceded once. You can argue about quality of the opposition and chances but arguably the recruitment has focused on what we knew, that a creaking/injured defensive setup was replaced. it’s not as if we haven’t brought in attacking players and everyone wants a striker who can “bang in the goals”. I suspect we all think AP and CH aren’t good enough and Eythor needs to get fit to judge so that’s the main gap so far. Yes we can/should strengthen in some areas but I wouldn’t call current first team operating with one hand behind the back.

And Richard Foster has gone to the top of my early season hit list after his pop at the fans and players celebrating after the win. Apparently we’ve won the league already….. bitter little b@…d!!! rubbish player and even worse coach.

When Chris Sutton mentions this and questions it, that’s when we really know there’s an issue.

At this point in time, compare AJ's interviews with the Hearts guy. I know who i would trust to progress our club.

AJ is having to approach our biggest games with one hand behind his back. Sure its a long transfer window, but we need players in to help us progress. Not as if we did not know players would need replacing.

Given a Celtic player doing a rugby tackle to stop Dundee break away was not carded says it all. Thats not a competence issue, its blatant bias and corruption. No other way can it be explained. Hearts with their statement have now questioned the officials abilities. So i would expect a charge against them for that. An independent review on how our game is being run is badly needed. Only the clubs collectively can do that.

Guidance and training, your having a laugh .

This is maybe where our squad size is biting us. Midfield will no doubt be Priestman and Fadinger. Looked fatigued in the later parts of the hibs game. Meanwhile Helsinki have already played 18 games. Last five lost three won 2 and sit 4thin their league. Appreciate it’s a nice problem to have but hope the sports science guys are getting them ready for Thursday. looks like they use a 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 3. Though the game they lost there was a 4 4 2. Three in midfield then and use the extra energy of whyte. Said cook and longelo as a front three. Same 4 at the back.

What's worse is that even though some of their decisions had major implications for who ended up winning what (and some of them were just petty/moronic/laughable/whatever), I'm sure the majority of fans would be quite happy for the SFA to wipe the slate clean and tell us what guidance and training for officials they've implemented over the summer to improve the standard and consistency of refereeing this year. But we all know how likely that is to happen.

In case anyone doesn't know the game is on solidsport for £12. Details on club website

Just shows what a ridiculous situation the SFA have got themselves into with those decisions last season......
