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.

No idea how we will line up. Hopefully Watt is rested and good to go again. Wouldnt be averse to the 4-6-0 again with Just, Cookie & Maswanhise up top. I quite liked it! Think we will dominate possession on our lovely bowling green of a pitch and hopefully have too much for Livvy. 3 points is a must with another tough away tie next week.

It will be a lot easier to score goals against league one defences, he was never good enough for the premiership. The championship and below is his level . Although AP and Hendry are not scoring as many goals as we think they should they are still miles better than Shaw.

So not much difference from our current alleged strikers then. sometimes players need a change, step down a league to regain their confidence etc. The point im msling is that previous performznces counts for nothing look at Theo Bair before we signed him so never say never, maybe JBA could get the best from him, and being honest the bar is not set that high with our current options.

And zero goals for us when he was here, missing sitters galore.

My money is on this option 👍

Made up rumour or not, shaw has scored a fair few goals for accies, significantly more than out current alleged strikers Stamatelopoulos and Hendry so why not.

More likely is that we have some roasters in our support

It sounds to me like they've made it up.

I think its more a case of converting very impressive possessions stats into a commensurate number of actual goals. As we've seen we sometimes struggle to score in games where we dominate the opposition.

You know its a fan opinion, not one of their journo's......

Dangerous stuff from wee yin. People Might keel over grasping their chest after that fist bit and not get to the second sentence 😳

and each of them the result of a dodgy VAR decision to send Martindale apoplectic.
