Would be happy with that - especially if we could miraculously finish fifth

Might be they thought it was better to have him sitting on their bench rather than run the risk of him going to StMirren and them ending above Killie.

Got to agree with wellsince75, going to be a hard game. They’ve score 17 and conceded 3 since the start of January and the conceded goals were against Dundee Utd and Partick Thistle. Given that we can’t seem to keep a clean sheet or score many, I do have a bit of concern. Hopefully I’m wrong but that’s based on hope and nothing else although I see the bookies have us as slight favourites.

Same as a lot of folk on here are saying, don’t you think it’s right?

There was me thinking it was his best joke

Firstly I’d say this discussion should be moved to its own thread as it has merit (maybe the mods can sort that) but heres my tuppence worth. I might be wrong but as the average gate attendance’s includes the away fans, is it not possible that their crowds are larger because they allow the arse cheeks more than one stand? Also, what is the comparison between how many we take to their grounds to what they bring to Fir Park?

Steelboy, MJC etc expect to post nonsense and get a reaction.

I’ve mixed feeling on this, I can see where Dennyc is coming from and can broadly agree with it - although I’m confused with the egotistical Hutchison part as a guy who gives the club £1m, doesn’t put any conditions on what’s done with it and doesn’t ask for it back ain’t very egotistical in my book. On the main point of the - potential - future of the club, yes there seems to be benefits in some sort of tie in with others and at this moment in time there appears to be decent protection against investors screwing clubs but that can change and is possibly why people are investing so I’m nervous about that. Having said that the potential downside that we could be left dropping further behind our competitors and those below us leaving us a championship team or worse means that I think we must seriously look at the options before ruling them out.

Although I don’t like the idea of losing him to StMirren, I like less the idea the someone isn’t allowed to sort out their future before their contract is up - any of us can leave a job with a normal 3 month notice meaning the person doesn’t spend a few weeks without a wage.

Should we? I’d definitely like us to be in that position or higher but we are where we are because of a mixture of poor performances and bad luck.

FFS, the guys been gone a few years now and playing in the same league as us so we’re all aware of how he’s getting on - do we really need to keep discussing him? I can understand talk of him moving on and potential money we would get but this chat is just pish.

Spittal, with two goals would normally be MotM for me but unfortunately his set pieces today - apart for the free kick goal - were honking. It looked to me that he was trying to score from every corner and Morrison lapped that up. Gent, Montgomery and Davor all played well and it was tight between them although I went for Gent in the end.

Suspect Lennon Miller is on the bench so that he gets paid more for being in the squad rather than expecting him to play.

Aye but can he not “play anywhere across the front three”

Is Ross not a striker - or have folk written him off already?

Gent was a shout before his mistake but I thought Kelly had a good game today, came for crosses and had a great save

We played half the team out of position today

A good discussion but I’ve a feeling that this board had a similar one a few years ago where I think it was discussed how the club was using this type of analytics to unearth gems from the lower / foreign leagues along with personal in game tracking to monitor/ improve our players. I seem to recall folk saying how using this data alongside watching / scouting would improve the quality of our signings. The thing is that if every club is doing the same using the same data/ technology in the same way then we are now in a position of trying to sell ourselves as a club to these players who are getting similar or better offers from other clubs. I’m sure we’ve had a few managers who have lamented our lack of facilities, wage constraints etc as reasons for not being able to entice players to join us which in my view is a major reason to why we are in the shite position we are in. Unfortunately I don’t see any way out of this situation.

On today’s performance I was

You did read my 2nd comment that you quoted?

I’d class them all as strikers but not on today’s performance

3 so called strikers on and 1 shot on target

Shit game on a shit surface but we’re living dangerously - and that was never a foul by Spencer

Definitely need to get back to winning ways

Naive from Miller, should have pleaded his innocence and at least stayed on the park until the VAR check was completed. Walking off just gave VAR an excuse not to look at it properly
