I don't believe anything any manager (or assistant) says about injuries so mibbes aye, mibbes no. If he was technically available for Tuesday, but "load balanced" for example, then he could still play.

Did saying 'everyone who was available for the Falkirk game' would be ready, does that not imply that Watt won't be ?

I hope I'm wrong, but I think our blunt play in the final 3rd is starting to catch up with us. We've had some breaks in the past couple of months with pens and other decisions which have went our way - reckon our luck might be up though. 0 - 0.

awwww ffs........can you go back to predicting defeats every week please ? We were all a lot more confident then 😂

Know exactly what you mean but I’m starting to worry that we’re starting to expect top class entertainment and might run the risk that some over the top fans start feeling entitled and those are the ones who will be first to start abusing players they feel aren’t doing their bit when it’s still 0-0 after 60 minutes (so probably sooner).

Do we have any updates for the injuries to Sule and Robinson? We may not need to spend any more money if they fit well with Askou's system.

The assistant manager said

Marcus is ian mccall

Shite plastic and a bit of fatigue setting in. Can't play like Barcelona every game you know.

I think Falkirk have only lost one home game this season, so it was always going to be a tough one. They had also scored in every home game this season (league and cup) so keeping a clean sheet was decent too. Livi are never easy to play against, but as awful to watch as the games can be, we have a very good record against them at Fir Park, and I expect that to continue.

Right then, which one of you is Marcus?

Stama’s inability to score from anything other than the spot has nothing to do with our system. He’s had chance after chance under different managers and setups, and he keeps fluffing them for reasons we’ve all gone over already. At this point he’s just an expensive investment who hasn’t delivered what you expect from a number 9. As for Hendry, I’m starting to think the jury isn’t out anymore and that he might not cut it either. We’re not short of goals right now, but we still need to go out in January and sign a proper striker.

What difference does his position make? He's still the top goalscorer in the league (and potentially the country), so the system clearly is working. It wont matter if we bring in Erling Haaland in January if the set-up continues to work as it currently is where the goals keep coming from elsewhere or the striker is not being provided with the chances. Presumably the evidence of all these missed sitters is coming soon?

A few weeks ago I’d have been looking forward to this one and another globetrotter performance but I’m unsure why I have a bit of trepidation about this one? The players just seemed a wee bit off if on Tuesday. Hopefully we go with an attacking formation and blow them out the water and they can all go to their Xmas night out in Dublin in high spirits.

Yes the top goal scorer is a motherwell player a winger/ midfielder where the vast majority of our goals have come from, who will soon be going off to play in the AFCON tournament and be unavailable for a month at least. So presumably our alleged strikers will step up and fill the gap, very unlikely so i hope we have signing targets identified.

They're not scoring because the goals are coming from elsewhere and/or they're not getting the service. All these sitters "similar to Shaw" that you claimed they're missing are just made up. How good they may or may not be is a different conversation. Also, "what we currently have isn't working"? That's just bollocks. We're the 4th highest scorers in the league and the league's top goal scorer is a Motherwell player.

We are sitting third in the league and only lost two games so far. Maybe the system is working ?

No sure why you quoted him, if you're unwilling to answer his question

Lets not kid ourselves here, Stamatelopoulos does not fit the system we play apart from a few penalties he has been brutal and shows no sign of improvement, most games he played he was anonymous. Hendry puts himself about and does show promise so time will tell on him. We definately need at least 1 striker brought in during January, probably 2 as what we currently have is not working.

What's all these sitters Ap Stam and Hendry have been missing?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We’ll pump them. 4-1

Well done everyone involved 👍

Oli Shaw had the same coaches and training as Theo Bair when they were at Fir Park. So even if the environment was good for Theo, it didn't help Shaw.

We have seen him at our level and it wasn't exactly successful. But his League One exploits and his prior connections are what makes a good rumour. If we do bring in a striker I fully expect it to be someone JBA knows or has worked with. They need to know the system and hit the ground running.
