  1. This is true. I’m a numpty 🤦‍♂️
  2. Happy if he is available, I’m not sure how the signings work in practice- does Welsh need to be about waiting to sign a document? ie not in bed dreaming of how to beat Dundee 😀
  3. Indeed and just need to look at Ross County deals to see what we’re “missing”
  4. probably true but then presumably not including Welsh in his plans so another game where he is unlikely to feature.
  5. Only misstep we’ve made this window. if/when SW returns it’s ridiculous that it’s not sorted much earlier in day to concentrate on game tomorrow and not this circus.
  6. Maybe why just cover on bench? Surely he must be judged to have more experience and form than Murray if they’re struggling for centraL defence. Either way would be happy for him to come on and score a couple of own goals 😆
  7. Kai Andrews linked with Hibs loan move. https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-hibernian-agree-to-sign-coventry-citys-kai-andrews/ He had something about him. Like many with footballing ability would probably prosper in our current setup.
  8. I would’ve agreed but MO’N came out and said “I’m stepping in here” with the January window and presumably he does pick the matchday squad. Either way I think we should move on if not sorted early next week.
  9. Agree that he’s Celtics player to dictate situation however either this means SW is back with us mon or Tuesday at latest or confirms suspicion that MON’s loveable grandpa act is just that and he’s screwing both us and Welsh over.
  10. 👍 yes it’s the range and dispersion of points which is much narrower this year which makes it al lthe more interesting. Away from the data analytics and towards the🧡, i find it somewhat ironic that while 🎶 “we hate Hearts and we hate Dundee” 🎶 I’ll be willing them both in to get a result today 😀
  11. BBC have and already out of date (doesn’t include yesterday’s results) analysis of who may win the league which shows us as 5th based on expected goals. Basically that methodology has Celtic and Hibs underperforming and Hearts, Rangers, and us over performing in that order. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0erdjp0plpo So many other factors to take into account of course but I’d say a win here and the others sharing/dropping points will put us in a strong position to potentially finish 3rd, not just consolidate 4th
  12. Same thoughts it as tighter than appeared as inevitably Polworth was moving towards goal and away from defensively line very similar situation in Falkirk game but goal was awarded Without trying to raise people blood pressure re VAR 😞 the BbC broadcast different views of Killies and Falkirks checks. The Falkirk goal looked well offside on Sportscene and I didn’t see any lines being used (or not on highlights at least). Could the length of time taken be different because of VAR placement? Im not sure how it works but will definitely take it yesterday 😁
  13. Vote went to Priestman but could have just as easily gone to Longelo for marauding runs and crosses, Slattery for all round play and sublime pass for Just goal, Just for all round play and actually shooting properly 🤣, Said for the joy and windups he brings to every game. Special mention to Rocco McColm (not McColn) who had a very assured cameo and looked so chuffed at the final whistle.
  14. To be fair he looked a bit more lively than last week and played a nice lay off which started the build up for fourth goal. dont see us playing with the two of them up front unless its a last throw of dice chasing a game.
  15. From purely a footballing perspective Polworth could probably fit into our team (took his “goal” well today) but agree his personality/hangups would absolutely not - classic case of self-sabotaging a career.
  16. Oscar was comfortable all day and started quite a few moves. I was expecting him to be play more of the Watt role but either it was a deliberate tactic not to have a player building the play or he wasn’t disciplined enough. Special mention to Fadinger who injected much needed pace into game and definitely was the main reason we scored even if final touch was from JT
  17. Yes. I agree. There were a lot of shouts from JBA for AP to get more involved. Worse than not being able to play the style of football, he didn’t seem interested in making an effort.
  18. A lot of the fear is we’ve all experienced disappointment. I think this is a great lineup in current state where the message seems to be anyone can step in and knows the system and expectations. If they don’t perform then we have a great bench to call upon. COYW
  19. Positive noises from JBA about both Halliday and Nicholson in training. Whether he really thinks they can play active part is open to debate but wouldn’t be the first time JBA surprised us plus he does like to ‘manage’ the minutes. AH is probably too immobile for system but I can see SN playing a part.
  20. This is the pros and cons of loans system for clubs though isn’t it? we recalled Matty because of needing cover due to injury and Celtic are in similar position because the Man City player they had got recalled. yes arguably Celtic are in better position because Welsh has been getting game time and playing well so they have more than just a substitute/cover Personally I’m glad he performed for us rather than simply made up numbers as some loanees have done having said that we’ve also shown we can win without him so I thank him and move on.
  21. I don’t often get on my high horse but this is a sanctimonious and entitled reply. I have read the rest of the thread and replies and the dismissive attitude doesn’t get better. This DOES matter regardless of who is asking for the sanction and I am no fan of SPFL or Scottish Government hypocrisy. Use of pyros is not some political stance it is an outright danger to the people using and others in the vicinity. If the club is willing to accept that they don’t lose out financially because inconsiderate and negligent morons, or their excusers, have paid the cost of 50 tickets then I’m seriously worried about that attitude towards the safety and wellbeing of majority of the rest of us fans. As per the original post if Block E stuck to the tifos, joyful exuberance, and carnival atmosphere they can and do create they would continue be a credit to the club. Covering up and dismissing the dangerous behaviour risks totally undermining all the good. Multiple wrongs and hypocrisy from other “fans” behaviours is deflection and no excuse.
  22. Just kept going throughout whole game so perhaps a bit unfair to vote for Said but he made a huge impact when he came on. Likewise Sparrow for the nullified JK. Mentions, as now seems always, to McGinn and Welsh 👏
  23. Still buzzing after today’s result. Ok the performance maybe wasn’t as good as some games but having watched FB/insta clips from media team it reinforces JBA comments about not getting frustrated - its obvious that players are totally bought into his system and approach and got the rewards for perseverance. In summary, it’s just a great time to be a Well fan
  24. Didn’t realise he was at Killie. I know he wasn’t everyone’s favourite but I genuinely think he had some good moments as Well player. In the sliding doors/alternate universe which is JBA I reckon DT could flourish
  25. Utd’s problem isn’t really scoring, it’s their defence. I think we’ll do well to keep our run of clean sheets continuing so at least a couple of goals will be needed for the win. I’d settle for draw at moment. prior to StM they had apparently never gone 6games without a win under Goodwin. May it be unlucky number 7 for him.
