Matty for at least getting us to extra time and trying to play out quickly while they had players in our box - unfortunately the rest of the team were happy to try the slow build up.

Don’t agree that Connelly’s not confident playing out from the back, from what I recall apart from a couple of time where he nearly got caught - same as any player - he looked ok and managed well with our style of play. JBA was happy enough with him to let Ox go out on loan which, in my opinion, says something about the lads ability.

I’d definitely like to see some of the youngsters get some game time at least. Did Connelly not play in some of the early cup games last season? Maybe it was the Scottish cup and it’s better to keep our no.1 in while the team settles but in AJ we trust so whatever he thinks is good for me.

So tempted to go with Said but I thought Lowry was great tonight with some cutting passes - could be a great signing once others get used to him.

I might be wrong but is it not taken from who votes for them rather than someone picking him? If I’m right then someone’s taking the piss

Know the feeling mate

Hodge seems a good signing who should improve the team, with time still before the window closes I’m sure another couple of bodies will be added in areas where we’re short.

I’d go with Paulsen JKL. Moorman. JGR Sparrow. Longelo Preistman Fadinger Lowry JT Said Sparrow & Longelo playing wingbacks assisting the defence and midfield as required, Lowry linking midfield and attack and the forward two interchanging Could easily replace JT with RCC and not be fussed. Subs coming on when players tire or Whyte to add strength in midfield if required.

Admin could just rename it maybe?

I wouldn’t read to much into that, last season was the same left wing ignored every game with the midfielders more that happy to turn around and play down the right when the pass out left was on. I’ve often wondered if it’s a statistical thing where more goals come from crosses from the right, maybe right footed attackers feel more comfortable with this? Honestly I don’t know why but it’s bugged me how often Longelo and others have been ignored when we’re building an attack. Although I’m happy that others are noticing it and it’s not just me being left footed and paranoid that see’s it.

Normally get 5 but now only 3 - club up £1 - others might do similar but with the prizes up to £400, £200 & £100 not sure if the overall takings will increase.

Definitely a poor game overall but at least we didn’t lose. By my count we had Said hitting the bar and 3 decent chances to score, JT, Lowery & Johnny K, all wasted their efforts. Hopefully we do better on Thursday.

Good result with decent 2nd half performance. Still a lot to do next week but definitely win able. pitch was horrendous and that’s being generous

Really hoping that we can get something here and that Lowry has a great game to help him settle in.

I’d think that the training regime at the moment would be focused on rest and recovery alongside tactics rather than full on heavy training sessions.

Delighted with that result, a tight game but we got the job done although some of our slack play was frightening leading to the penalty.

Sorry early morning hangover caused me to just post my thoughts on the score but more in-depth I think both defences have mistakes in them and both front lines have goals so I was predicting a high score draw. Both keepers are good and could have a blinder of a game which could lead to a 2-0 or 3-0 score but my thoughts are a high score draw. Not trying to bee negative just how I see the game. Either way I won’t be hitting the panic now and avoid the rush button.

2-2 or 3-3 game I think.

Priestman for me this week. Sparrow a close second choice.

Team looks not bad, quite happy with that selection although I have to say that the referee is quite card happy and has given an average of 3.47 yellow cards a game so we need to be very careful

He definitely comes across well in these interviews, talks sense and is well grounded. I’m impressed and have had a couple of guys at work who support other teams also say they are impressed by him, one even says he could be better than JBA if he puts into practice what he says in the interviews and that he thinks the players listening to him will take a lot of confidence that losing JBA won’t disrupt the team. Hopefully he’s right.

If I’m correct then due to us playing on the Thursday, the game will be on the Sunday or Monday but if we get through against HJK - a big if I know - will it be on the Sunday or will the Scottish league screw us for money if Premier want to screen it live on the Monday?

Although I normally agree or at least see the merit in your opinion, this point I have to disagree with as by the time the mortgage is paid off there will be upkeep costs that would potentially take up that cash. Not saying I disagree with moving to a new stadium and that it is wrong just don’t think this part of the argument is correct.

I don’t know if it was sang before but the first time I heard and sang it was at Ibrox after the play off game and the rage of the Rangers fans as we were singing it makes it an all time classic for me.

Don’t think that Spittal suits our present style of football, he’s got the skills but doesn’t track back or close down opponents enough and could leave us exposed. Turnbull - although I agree he’s a class player - similarly wasn’t fast enough or had the stamina at Celtic under the Aussie manager (can’t be arsed trying to spell his name) to play a fast pressing game so not sure about him. I’ll add to that the more obvious thing is that we’ve no chance of getting him on loan
