I see Robinson is saying on the STV sport page that he will be offloading some squad players in January and promoting some of the younger ones to the squad, better late than never I guess.

Fancy our chances for this, struggled to beat our kids in the irn bru cup, fully expect us to win this tie.

Craig Thomson is the ref so its absolutely nailed on to happen

He has been injured with a hamstring problem but is now back training and we should see him in the squad for Saturday.

Thought Liam Donnelly had an excellent game and was our best defender by a mile last night, also thought Bowman had a good game and his goal was spectacular didn't think he had that in his locker.

He could definitely do the job and I've been a fan of him one day becoming manager but I think his view is he's got much more job security with reserves and doing his stuff BT, managing at senior level can be quite relentless if you through a bad run.

McHugh was very good before the mistake he made and will be very lucky if Carson isn't out for a considerable period of time, he was decent after the mistake but he was also fault for the Dundee goal a couple weeks ago as well when he lost his man for a free header but that aside I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I reckon the back 3 will look a lot a better and stronger when we get the pace of Charles Dunne back in there.

Good tie for the boys, they will fear nobody in this cup competition, I believe it's played during the next international break so hopefully they let them have the game at Fir Park. I see Connor Sammon plays for the reserves today, I suspect that's due to he cant play on Saturday because of the loan arrangement I reckon.

There is definitely a sell on for Kipre when the day comes that he moves on to a bigger club than Wigan, hopefully for big big money so we can really benefit out of it as well. I honestly believe Kipre could become a 20 million pound player.

I think the best thing we can do for Allan is use him on a rotation basis, I'd be looking at Gorrin to play some games with Allan getting a break and we can alternate them depending on who the opposition is, think that would be the best thing for Campbell at this stage. Next real break the players get from any kind of football is the winter break which could prove vital, as we have yet another extremely busy period in December.

Scott is injured at the moment, but should be back fairly soon, I saw him doing some work with the physio when I passed by the training this morning.

Nothing in it with Turnbull and Maguire, they were both training with 1st team today. Rehman is a new name on me, think Craigan has had him in on trial over the summer.

Oh well we are fucked, stick on for a Motherwell red card on Sunday!

Donnelly picked up an injury the day before the accies game and is out for 3 weeks, still at least we have Maguire as a back up option on the bench at the moment.

I reckon we will see a vast improvement at the top end of the pitch when Bowman and Tanner especially are fit, both were key to our success last season and will be again this season, I think Tanner coming back will be like a new signing to the squad.

Lasley with Craigan to start with would probably be the temporary management team if we were to sack Robbo however im hopeful we can start stringing a few results together starting next week at Livi.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/45144011?__twitter_impression=true Manager saying in this BBC article he's quite content with the squad now we've signed Mbulu sounds unlikely we will sign anyone else.

3-0 Well, lets get them humped, get some real positivity for the weekend then let the media spend all week creaming over Gerrard coming to Fir Park the following Sunday to deal with our hammer throwers.

He's back training at the moment, for how long is the question before he inevitably breaks down again. I cant see him getting many if any games this year for the first team would expect he will feature in Craigan's reserves.

It was in the Sunday Mail today.

I agree about the whole ambition side of things but it seems the priority year in year out for the board under the current format we operate at now is to make sure we survive in the top flight, albeit if we can push for top 6 then great, but the main priority every season is and will be survival and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I've said it to a few people recently with the English window closing next Thursday at 5pm I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a couple players before or after the hibs game, no doubt if Kipre goes then it wouldn't surprise me if we want to bring in another defender.

Think Carson has played with the shoulder issue most of his career, certainly hasn't stopped him looking like a top keeper that's for sure.

The pace of Boyle worries me against our back 3, I wonder if its worth putting Tait there for no other reason than he's quicker than Kipre, Hartley and McHugh, could then have a Grimshaw or Cadden at wing back to get up and down the pitch.

League - 7th place. League Cup - Quarter Final Scottish Cup - Quarter Final Player of the Year - Richard Tait Young Player of the Year - Allan Campbell Top Goalscorer - Danny Johnson Season wishes - To have a good challenge at going for top 6, reasonable runs in the cup and hopefully see the likes of Maguire and Turnbull cement a place in the team before the season is out and be 1st picks by next season. I also have the feeling we will lose a player maybe 2 either this summer or in January. Trevor Carson and Cadden are my predictions we will sell for good money.
