I always felt recently that Reynolds was the weak link against Hibs. As soon as he stepped on the pitch against them his game fell apart. It was almost like a mental block and he forgot how to defend. With Hutch in there instead maybe he can keep Riordan quiet as he is the man who will threaten us big time. I think we will win 2-0 as I just can't see where Hibs will find the confidence. they are at an all time low right now and are a stick on for relegation if they can't stop this slump.

RIP mate. Lets bag a victory on Saturday for him.

Looks like Collet will be coming in too from what McCall is saying on the Official site. Certainly the wording of the article hints at good news.

How would we keep him? We have him on loan.

Burn Broomfield - you are a Leeds man - is he any good?

GRELLA!!

We will murder this mob. They are gone, fucked, kaput, nada, nil point. Certain relegration is on the cards for Hibs unless they get rid of the dumbest fuck of a manager I have ever seen in my life. I still can't beleive they got rid of that monkey John Hughes and have replaced him with an even dumber one. mental.

Age has feck all to do with it either. Look at Owen Coyle and Craig Brewster. Two stikers who even in their late thirtys were still a different class to their 20 year old team mates. Imagine that strike force? Also I heard that Owen Coyle still plays in training matches and pisses all over the defenders.

Seriously? His reading of the game is second to none, but he gets caught out big time against any player with pace.

Would not be suprised if Hughes did come back. Has a fair few ties in Motherwell. Question is would his wage demands be a stumbling block? We were told there would be some news on Friday so maybe a few annoucements tommorow.

Big Cedric is the man for the job.

Aberdeen v Dunfermline Athletic Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Greenock Morton OR Airdrie United Hamilton Academical v Dundee United Stenhousemuir OR Stranraer v Motherwell East Stirlingshire OR Buckie Thistle v Brechin City Rangers v Celtic Ayr United v St Mirren St Johnstone v Partick Thistle Teams in bold to get through. When you look at it that way then the next rounds could be pretty tough.

You have to remember that guys like Hutchinson, Page, Murphey etc are still very young and Motherwell will not want to risk burn out on these guys so it makes sense to increase the squad size. The Cypriot guy does seem to be a fair bit down the pegging order, but Motherwell might just see him as one for the future as they might with the guy from Madrid.

Whats the deal with this Algerian guy we have got on a pre contract. Again is that a pile of steamin' pish or have we got the new Bougherra at Fir Park?

If Rangers bid 200K there is no way we can turn that down.

Is he not a right back? If he is then it direct competition for Hateley and Saunders. Ideally we want two players for each position in the squad so players don't get complacent.

Link here to Jamie Navarro Navarro If nothing else he might get more girls coming into Fir Park.

So I assume the David Healy rumour was a pile of steamin' pish?

Maybe this needs to happen. Then when all the clubs go to the wall we can all start again on a blank canvas!

All I am saying is that the times he has been on the pitch (which isn't much) he has looked like he could be a decent player. He obviously isn't great or he would be getting a game every week, but he certainly hasn't looked like a total haddy that some are saying he is on these boards.

He almost played a defence splitting pass against ICT. In fact all the time he was on I thought he did alright. Never lost the ball and found the right pass.

Tell you what if we did sign David Healy then it would be some coup. But I think there is more chance of the Beatles reforming than that happening.

If it is him then why are we needing to see a trial of him? He would be first pick on the team sheet every week! So aye he would easily do a job in the SPL.

We were doing fine before Brown and Knox went - after that it went a bit tits up. But under Brown I would say that Craigan and Reynolds were excellent.

Hutchinson was rushed back from injury which then set him back for the remainder of the season. Brown and Knox came in and Reynolds and Craigan formed an excellent defensive record and I think they were then unsure about breaking that partnership up. They also never got injured. Overall Reynolds and Craigan over the last year or so have been excellent. So I can understand why Hutchinson has had to wait for his chance. If he plays like he did against ICT then he will be getting a game every week. He is only 19.
