  1. This is as bad a football side as you'll see and it isn't down to the players all being poor.  Long throws and long balls are our tactics and it is eye bleeding stuff.  

    We jest that it is selection bingo every week, but the longer this atrocious run continues the worse that disruption to the XI looks.  Everything is screaming a coach who is completely out of ideas and a playing squad uttery devoid of confidence.  The two goals we conceded today were beyond shite.

    The worst of it being, when we took the lead through a fine solo effort from KVV, it looked a shoe-in that we could take a few off a really poor St Johnstone side.  They were all over the place at back for 90 minutes.  Any decent side in the league would have given them a doing today.

    Ypu could be right but I think there's something about the Midlands accent that always makes them seem downbeat?

    The Midlands is the most downbeat place in Western Europe, so I'm not surprised the accent's tone matches the location.

  3. We just can't start the season with  Lamie, Lawless and Crawford anywhere near our starting XI.  We can't.

    Lamie has had a major hand in the 4 goals we've conceded in the last two games against lower league opposition.  Better players in the Premiership will absolutely crucify us.

    I'm actually quite pleased that Clarke has been decisive in who he wants to take...

     

    ...Southgate has real problems with who to leave out. Of his 33 man squad 4 are right backs, Walker, TAA, Trippier and James. Havent a clue how he whittles that down to 2

     

    You take Trippier as No.1 then James as back up.

    Contacts? Brings in players who are a good fit? Like Eddie Nolan? That’s correct, the very same player who has never trained at the club? That’s on GA. You’ll see why some don’t share your confidence...

    I'm convinced Eddie Nolan doesn't actually exist.

  6. A good and vital win in what was a turgid game. 

    Killie saw a lot of the ball, but did little with it whilst we created the best chances with much more efficient use of possession.(Cole has to score and the move for Watt's effort was brilliant)

    Gollum gave us absolutely nothing as usual.

    I was slightly surprised by Wright's post-match assessment, but I suppose he is only saying what you expect new managers to say.  Granted he's hardly going to come out proclaim Killie were shite and should have lost by more, but I thought he was vastly overselling their performance.  He certainly has his work cut out to improve their offensive play otherwise they could be in a lot of bother this season.

    Quite like Crawford, he keeps the ball well. He's not the most physical but certainly nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be.

     

    In the first half of the Ross County game he was the only midfielder to make any sort of decent pass on the deck into the box. Twice.

    I disagree, he regularly gives the ball away.  Played a proper suicide pass during the County win that better teams would have punished us with.  Playing such passes and losing the ball in dangerous areas certainly seems to be his calling card.  We're playing him to the detriment of our own youth players who genuinely couldn't be any worse.

  8. Appeals successful.

    Fines reduced to £20k with £10k suspended.  No real penalty for failing to fulfil the fixtures through their own negligence.

    We should tell the SPFL to get fucked and play the games when it suits us just like Killie and St Mirren have done.  Sometime in 2022 should suffice.

    Just like the Aberdeen situation, the authorities have now given free reign to every club to do whatever the fuck they like without fear of serious punishment.

    Not sure if this is any indication of what’s likely to happen in Scotland, however I see Napoli have managed to win their appeal against a 3-0 defeat awarded to Juventus against them for a breach of Covid rules..

    The way we’re playing that would be squeaky bum time for us if they’re overturn and we need to play them! 

     

    The Napoli v Juve abandonment was an entirely different set of circumstances though.
