Might make Saturday’s games in Scotland but that will be it.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s game in hospitality, probably the last this season.

Best news we have had this season, a win, win for everyone and we are probably going to end up with a bumper transfer fee down the line.

There is merit in the argument though. A number of players have gone on to better things and players and their agents do take note.

There is always a balance and refusing to let a player leave for a bigger club never ends well. We all know at some point he’s going to move on and in order to keep attracting players to a club that they know will help them develop, them support them in a move up the footballing ladder that needs to happen. Just a case of maximising the fee we receive.

If we finish top four it’s been an excellent season. Folk can analyse individual players all they like but that would see us above both Edinburgh teams and giving Aberdeen a real run for their money plus finishing above everyone else on a similar or higher playing budget. The reality is we will always lose our better players and have to take a chance on others while trying for some strength in depth. If even 60% of those we sign work out it’s pretty good going given we have to take a punt on on a good few of them and in my view we signed some crackers in the summer. Way more positives than negatives this season.

Excellent point and we seem to be back on the right track. Looking forward to Friday’s game and a three course meal in hospitality for the first time.

As mentioned before we did not suddenly have a team full of awful players, we reached 3rd place this season for a reason. Last few games it was obvious that the main problem was a lack of confidence, we were pulling out of challenges and the energy levels were at 80%. Robinson’s teams have always been about playing at a high tempo and that returned last night, no coincidence that the old Campbell returned. It’s amazing we are still 3rd in the league but yet again sums up the lack of quality in the division outside of Celtic. Tough run of fixtures coming up but let’s be honest any other team can be beaten on the day.

Late goal by Celtic, good evening all round.

Over the last few weeks just about every player has been talked down by a couple of the usual suspects on here. It’s worth again asking that if they are all so useless, and every other manager has found us out and has a game plan we don’t have. How on earth are we third in the league and not bottom ?

A really important game this one, we need to get beck into a decent run of form. With the return if Turnbull and Dunn you would like to think we should improve and Watt is certainly starting to get slightly more up to speed. I personally like Carroll so disappointed we won’t see him again this season. Regardless of formation we need to be back playing with a higher intensity and a little less fear which has certainly crept in to our play. Really important that the Campbell we all know returns, he’s a shadow of his former self just now and we really miss the mark one version.

Motherwell sack their manager while top four. The club would be a laughing stock.

As above a complete waste of time and money and possible effected the club.

Just be aware you may not get what you are looking for.

From what she said it’s ridiculous that it even went to court, complete waste of money and you wonder if it only went forward because of who it was.

As it should be, without transfers the club would very quickly spiral back into debt. The attendances along with other income won’t come close to being enough.

We are actually still 3rd in the league with one of the smallest budgets and above Aberdeen, Hearts, and Hibs. We are certainly on a poor run but if his signings are as bad as some are making out why are we not bottom ? Some perspective maybe ?

An issue I’m seeing now is a drop in confidence right across the team, just about every player is running at 80% of what they were a couple of months ago. Campbell is an example of a player who only needs to drop slightly and he’s a totally different player, he pulled out of a couple of challenges in the home game with Accies which I’d never seen before and a few players have followed in that vein. Look for all the talk of players not being good enough we got where we are with pretty much the same group. I started to see things slip when we lost Donnelly for a few games, Cole also leaving left us short of options. The sale of Scott will always split opinions but I still maintain his contribution has been exaggerated. Every Robinson team is only at its best when playing at a high tempo, best example being the home cup game against Aberdeen where we destroyed them and we need to get back to that, slowing it down with Hartley knocking it from side to side is not working.

Just asking given that line has been posted a couple of times now. If you would like him sacked just come out and say it, personally I think any talk of sacking him is plain crazy.

Do you want Robinson sacked ?

Because for a long period we did very well, getting pretty obvious we are not staying there for long.

We really can’t buy a win just now.

Oh jeez, bit sad.

Yep, I think the reaction is a bit over the top. I’m more worried about his improvement rather than his disciplinary record. He has a lot to do to get his move down south.

For me the Cat A and Pitch
