The face he pulls when he talks about the attention JT received from around the world, and "also from the UK' tells you all you need to know about what the thinks of the UK attention. (Starts around the 3 minute mark)

Followed by an hour of "that's what champions do" on Sportsound.

Hearts once again looking awful and down to 10 men. So no doubt will win 1-0 in the 96th minute 😂

I don't disagree. While I know logically we might to lose a game at some point from a poor performance, dodgy decision or bad luck, every game right now feels winnable. The last time it felt like this was when we ran away with the First Division under Davie Hay. We lost the first game at Rugby Park then went on something like a 20 league game unbeaten streak (and only lost 4 all season).

There were a lot of players who looked brutal under Kettlewell. A few of them.are doing very well under Jens......

Totally agree Weeyin but something feels right this season; we’ll know more in the next three games. Three wins and we’re possibly ahead of Rangers and in the next round of the cup. Do we dream then??

I think folk are getting the wrong end of the stick here. I said I was slightly underwhelmed with the window purely because I expected 1 or 2 new bodies in based on what Jens had said in his pressers. Im not disappointed. Far from it. Id much rather we were where we are now than the trolley dash we have become accustomed to over previous seasons. But that doesnt mean you cant be analytic about it and point out where we could have done better. Left back cover is an obvious weakness. I know Koutroumbis and SOD can both play there, but both are currently injury doubts for tomorrow meaning we dont currently have cover for Sparrow or Longelo. Filling that space would have made sense to me.

It's nice to control your own fate, although winning every game is a pretty big ask. Bring it on.

I didn't say was accurate, I just said I read it on the internet!

I’d happily take a draw for this tonight, and for hertz to draw their next two; that would leave it in our hands (we’d need to win every game til the end of the season mind)

It was 23 out of 1200+ minutes, about 13 games or so. Still a good feat.

Hoping at Mirren win tonight.

That doesn’t seem very long. Celtic rangers Falkirk Livi and Killie have all been ahead of us at various stages in a game.

Robinson was brutal before he got injured, so thats not going to change when he is fit, he will be punted, mutualled, let go, moved on rtc

Tom Sparrow

The gaffer

The stat I saw posted at the weekend is that we have been behind in games for a total of 23 minutes this season. We beat Livi from behind in our first visit there, but I agree it's much more entertaining to just not concede.

Aye, maybe next year if we need extra bodies to maintain our challenge for the title and continued success in Europe ,we can bring in more people.

Adding to the above, I think the marketing of the transfer window has conditioned fans to expect something on deadline day, and to be disappointed if we dont get an announcement. Transfer speculation is a big part of being a fan, so I get it. However, if you need to sign a bunch of folk in Jan, it's usually because the first half didnt go well, and having to sign players on the last day of any window seems like bad organization and scraping the bottom of the barrel. There was similar disappointment at the end of the summer window, even though we had done significant business early so that the team could bed in (although no one could have predicted the success rate we got from that signing group). So I think some people just like announcements.

Best transfer window ever and listening to JBA Dundee presser we held firm and didn't buckle to any nonsense pennies in the pocket bids instead of pounds! What a time to be a Well fan more than happy what has went on same faces that's took us to where we are instead of a team filled with loan faces we shall forget ever came through the doors of Fir Park Pretty disappointed to hear disgruntled voices we don't need another left back why?Cause big Jens says so! Up the Well!

Who are you defining as our peer clubs? I assume you mean the likes Killie, St Mirren, and Falkirk? The first two brought in numbers because they're bad, and we're miles ahead of them. We have our best squad in years. Falkirk are loaning a bunch of players from England, which is a mixed bag. If you're counting the current top 5 as peer clubs, that's a different question. For us to compete with them we'll need silly money, and we dont knownif any of theor signings are any good. They were in a similar position as the other teams above, outside of hearts they all had glaring holes that needed fillers, and they all seen themselves as significantly underperformed. Our biggest concern was keeping our excellent squad together, and we did it - that's shouldn't be understated as im sure there were decent offers flying in. Id say the backup left back is where we missed out, but Johnny K has done well there, and no doubt we cluld shift SODs there of necessary. After that it looks like Luca Ross

I loved the relative peace and quiet of that window. That's what the January window of a properly functioning team looks like. 1 or 2 additions to add a bit of quality or something different and keeping hold of all the main squad (despite all the paper/social media talk it never felt likely to me anyone was in danger moving on). All while managing to trim the numbers down slightly getting rid of guys on the periphery, after a few seasons of having a stupid number of players on the books, and still with time for Robinson (if fit) or Halliday etc to go out on loan and cut that further. Much better than scrambling about signing any old Eddie Nolan, Luke Plange or Steven Lawless that you can get your hands on just for the sake of it or out of sheer desperation.

Hmmmmm. Not sure. I think he will though as he cant play in cup on Saturday so might be an idea playing him and Gordon tomorrow and save Jack and Victor for the cup game

I don't really want to find out how we'll react to going behind I quite enjoy not conceding goals

Agreed. Even moreso because their missed chances came so early in both games.
